Some of our favorite shoes out of the Vans Vault Fall 2008 collection were released today – the Cup LX Series. Part of the series of the Chukka Boot Cup LX and the Authentic Cup LX. Both come in light and dark brown. Not only did Vans give thepack high quality nubuck leathers for the uppers, they also added tartan check patterns on the lining and most importantly gave the series cup soles to increasecomfort and style.
The outcome is a rock solid pack by Vans, that can almost compete with the likes of Common Projects.
The Vans Vault Fall 2008 Cup LX Series is now available at Caliroots.

Japanese sneaker inspired clothing brand Kiks TYO got together with New Era to work on a series of caps. The outcome is the "Authentic" series, which is, as you might have guessed, very classic in looks. Overall four caps in canvas with a simple oldschool logo embroidery on the front and the brand’s slogan embroidered on the back.
The caps come right in time for the start of the Olympics and are now available in the Kiks TYO online store.

One of our favorite packs out of the Vans Vault Fall 2008 collection has been released today – the Lead Plaid Pack. The pack consists of the Zappato Del Barco, Authentic, Slip-On and Sk8 Hi, all featuring a plaid pattern all over the upper, hits of beige suede and a nice finish on the lining. Further accents on laces and logos come in red.
There is simply nothing to complain about the pack – it’s perfect for the late summer days. 
The Van Lead Plaid Pack is now available at Proper.

Once again Vans gets together with Japanese retailer United Arrows. This time they worked on a series of colorways of the Authentic. The outcome is a very 70’s looking collection in terms of colors. All in all they made three colorways and they are available now.

Vans is known for repeating prints, the check print being their most famous one. Now they present a cute monkey all-over print, showing a monkey pushing a skateboard. The print comes in several colorways on the slip-on and the Authentic. Via Sneaker Freaker.
