The highly anticipated Filson for Vans Vault collection is beginning to trickle into retailers. Amongst the first to receive the pack is Bows & Arrows of Berkeley, CA. As shown previously, the classic Vans Sk8-Hi and Era received a Filson make over in premium brown bridle leather and heavy tan canvas. A matching rucksack accompanies the release, and at $212 USD will actually run you more than both pairs of shoes combined – but, as Filson says, “might as well have the best.”

As many of you will have noticed, Vans has a very large collection for FW10. One of our favorite addition is the California line, a more quality focused, lifestyle oriented line. Highlighted here are three premium two-tone Eras in mixed leathers. The boat shoe-style laces and tonal logo tags are great touch, and evident of the type of design elements you’ll find in the CA collection. Look out for these shortly. (Provider)
