The Vans Hosoi Series just released in a second collection, consisting of three style – Sk8 Hi, Era and Slip-on. Just like the first time around, these come with red/white accents on black. The nice color combination makes these very solid sneakers, that’s also why they sold out everywhere when first released.
In4mation just got in his Hosoi Series 2. Check out the other two models that are part of it after the jump.

Most of the Vans Syndicate Holiday 2007 collection we have already showed you. It consists of the Mr. Cartoon Sk8 Hi’s, the Gusset Half Cabs and the latest installment of the Vans x W)Taps collaboration. Here we can finally show you some good pictures of this last collaboration, consisting of an Era and a Sk8 Hi. They come in all black with the uppers made up of black premium suede and canvas. The canvas parts feature a red devil design. The Vans Syndicate x W)Taps “Red Devil” pack is part of the Rad BMX Series.
The Mr. Cartoon Sk8 Hi’s and the Gusset Half Cabs are already in store, but you can check them out again after the jump. The W)Taps collaboration in getting into select stores now.

After Marc Jacobs, Vans now seems to have gotten together with high fashion designer Paul Smith. The pack consists of a Sk8 Hi and a Chukka. The Sk8 Hi comes with an upper made up of brown suede and canvas. The Chukka comes in all grey canvas. Both sneakers feature the signature multicolor stripe pattern of the design as the inner lining and on the back heel and tongue tags. Apparently there will also be an Era and a slip-on in the pack.

Paul Smith is after Marc Jacobs definitely a good fit, because even though they are both high fashion designers they always mix in collaborations and pieces in general which are less expensive then their regular lines. Pics via Footurama.
The pack will be released next year, as part of the Vans Spring ‘08 collection. After the jump more pictures.

This season the line-up of the Vans Syndicate x W)Taps collaboration was very large and certainly also the best one to date. We have showed you the navy blue Crossbone Pack, the All Black Crossbone Pack, the Guts & Glory pack and today we present to you the Devil Pack.
The Vans Syndicate x W)Taps Devil Pack consists of a Sk8 Hi and an Era. The uppers are made up of black canvas and black suede. The canvas parts feature a red devil design. A nice touch is also the red outer sole. Pic via Honeyee.

Once again a great pack, that is available at Vans Syndicate stores around the globe now.

Here is an interesting new drop by Vans. They just released a new Era which features a skull with a santa hat embroidered all over. This design together with a white/black upper and red accents makes for the perfect shoe for the holiday season. These are now available at Motive.

Just in time for the colder months to come Vans releases the Houndstooth Pack. The pack comes in two colorways and offers 4 sneakers in each colorway – Era, Chukka, Sk8 Hi and the Slip-On. The pack comes in a grey and a hunting green/brown colorway and reminds us of classic British slippers.
If you need something that goes with your t-shirts and hoodies as well as with a shirt, these classics will work just fine. They are available now at Flauge. Check out all 8 sneakers in this pack in detail after the jump.

We have already showed you the matching apparel collection for Fall ‘07, here comes now the complete line-up of the Vans  Plaid Pack.
The pack consists of Sk8 Hi’s, Slip-Ons and Era’s and presents each shoe in three colorways of plaid – black, blue and red.
The pack is now available at Goods. Check out the other sneakers of the pack after the jump.

We are getting close again to the release of the new W)Taps Bones Series by Vans Syndicate. Last year this was one of the most successful collaborations by Vans and this years we predict to not be any different.
The new W)Taps Bones Series consists of a Slip-On, Chukka, Sk8 Hi and an Era. They come in navy blue with a bones all over print. Unfortunately these will in Europe only be available at Foot Patrol. In the US and Japan you will have an easier time coming across them. Pics from Boon Magazine via Vitasoy.
