On Wednesday night Vans launched its Spring 2012 OTW footwear line during Berlin Fashion Week as part of a 3-day pop-up House of Vans experience featuring live performances by the Patta Sound System, Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) and new OTW advocate Lupe Fiasco.

The free exhibition by the Vans OTW advocates included photography by Parisian Dimitri Coste, an art installation by Brooklyn-based Eric Elms and vinyl toy art and sculptures by Hong Kong resident and new OTW advocate Chris Kong.

Lupe Fiasco performed crowd favorites “Kick, Push” and “Superstar.” Live music played throughout the venue and Yasiin Bey brought the house down with an inspired performance of classic favorites and new material.

Lupe Fiasco is getting ready to release a premium capsule collection under his Trilly and Truly label, entitled “Overthrown Junta”. From the collection we can already preview today two sick camouflage leather pieces – one leather biker jacket and the matching biker vest. The camo is very subtle which we like a lot. Made in New York by Coyote Leathers, the jackets will go for 4000 USD and 3000 USD. RSVP Gallery in Chicago is expecting them in the coming three weeks with possibly a few more boutiques getting the line as well.

Take a closer look at the two jackets after the jump.
