I must have those white perf halfcabs and chukkas. Finally vans gets the with the goddamn program and makes some leather ones. As for the johnny ramone slipons, jesus christ. There are so many things wrong with these. For one i think it would have been alot more appropriate to make some kind of white authentic or era type shoe. Of the eleventeen thousand pics ive seen of that dude i dont think ive ever seen him wear either a black shoe or a slipon style. That and theyre hideous. They remind me of those vinyl WWF mirrors with lights in them at spencers that not even wrestling fans buy .

[wEstSidE]

i don't think johnny even allowed black sneakers on any of the members. i'm pretty sure the white sneaker thing was DRESS CODE.

[gas prices kill]

I NEED those perforated chukkas. Damn.

Consider the white perf cabs/chukkas copped.

big up the Gnar for bringin' the preview once again... vans still coming so correct w/the half cabs it's not even funny...the white/black soles! loving all the classic half cabs at the bottom (except for the ones w/the red stripe and patch)...the half cab pro's are looking sick as well. not really feelin the Vaults. thanks again doc!

[eastcoastrider27]

Wow. Thanks Gnar. So many good ones.

First thing I noticed was the Syndicate style cabs. I wonder why Vans doesn't make all the Half Cabs like that from now on.

It's so weird, I was just thinking last night, "Why doesn't Vans do the white/black cabs again?" And now this! I really hope they're suede.

The Vault cabs would be a lot better with just circular perforations instead of circles and squares.

[rhythmandsound]

yeah i kind've like how there's the option for both the syndicate sole and the classic sole, still keeping things OG. and yeah, i was just watching Paco the other day w/Carroll and the white/blacks...thinking they had to bring those back! stoked

[suremanok]

Lovin the Perfs. The Mt. Editions aren't too bad either.

You're in luck, they're suede.

[cheep]

now we just need a MC reissue(under another name of course)

[doctorgnar]

Also, there are two new classic styles - one is a SK8 mid, and they other is called 106 Vulcanized and it's like a low chukka.

And there are six new eras that match the six new classic Half-Cabs posted above - the orange is dopephat.

[rhythmandsound]

okay doc, we need more scans

are there pics of more colorways of the AVE Sk8 Lows as well?

any suede chukkas?

[eastcoastrider27]

So rad!

January usually sucks, but this should be a good one.

[doctorgnar]

okay doc, we need more scans

Looks like their will be a few new plaids, and a couple paslies on the AVE Sk8-Low.

No new suede chukkas - but lots of prints on these - it's basically their new slip-on. Looks like the only new suede joints are the Half-Cabs and matching Eras.

The Vault line has a shit load of Chukkas in wooly and woven fabrics, it's all like furniture upholstery - looks like shit to me.

[onemancult]

... does that shit say 5/1/08 delivery....

WHITE PERF CHUKKAS, NOWWWWWW.

[flex1]

there are a ton of bangers in this

[plongin]

i must say vans is doing a pretty damn good job with the half cabs. they all look pretty good. the paul smith collabs are bonkers, only wish would be that the striped colors be visible somewhere on the outside though.

[corned beef]

Half Cabs are serious this season, really great colorways. And i'm personally stoked for some more mountain editions.

[eastcoastrider27]

i was just watching Paco the other day w/Carroll and the white/blacks.

Did you get the box set?

[rhythmandsound]

you know!

...and the last time i'd seen Paco was 3 years ago when i 'lent' it to my friend shortly before i moved, ha

serious Carroll bonus footage, stokin

[aziz]

Mountain editions are looking on point...as well as the other colorways of the cabs. But those Perforated Chukkas are too dope.

[willy cheesesteak]

White perf Chukkas!!!

[onemancult]

White perf Chukkas!!!

that's what i'm sayin'

[dcrevolution40]

money in the bank nigga

[willy cheesesteak]

that's what i'm sayin'

Seriously, I've got such a serious hard-on for white perf Vans that it is THAT serious.

At least two purrs will be copped.

[snickersnicker]

Are the perforated slip-ons non-leather? If so I'll definitely pick up a pair. The Paul Smith slip-ons are pretty nice, too.

[readytoignite]

how do you know if your vans store has a vault account? or do all of them get the spring 08?

ask? each stores orders differently but only vault accounts will be offered vault...
