As part of the Vans Vault collection we present you the Pendleton x Vans Chukka Hiker LX. The Chukka receives a solid hiking outer sole and the upper gets covered in wool, produced by the Pendleton Woolen Mills. The Pendleton tag appears on the inner sole.
Look out for this release at VA.

The Pendleton Limited Edition, which is part of Nike ACG’S men’s life range, lends more than a touch of heritage to the hill this year. This 100% virgin wool jacket was created as part of Nike ACG’s collaboration with Pendleton Mill in Portland, Oregon. Famed and respected for their Native Indian Trade blankets, Pendleton have become part of the fabric of North Western US society since their beginnings in 1893. Their success has been partly thanks to the attributes of wool that make it as breathable and durable as modern textiles. This jacket draws upon the strength of the fabrics and the sense of history associated with Pendleton. Only 375 will be created worldwide.
The jacket has a leather logo patch, an attached hood and all other technical aspects that you expect from the Nike ACG range. We like very much the balance between technical features, usability and the more traditional aspect of working with Pendleton.
Expect the jacket to be available soon.

We have reported already about the Vans Syndicate Spring 2008 collaboration pack with Pendleton, but we have not seen them in store so far. Starcow in Paris got them in this week and has got all three models available now!

We give you a preview of the Vans Syndicate 007 Spring 2008 range. Besides the Pendleton Pack that we presented to you already earlier on, there is another pack in this collection, which consists of two slip-ons and a Half Cab. It comes in an interesting black/beige colorway with each shoe featuring graphics on the upper. Also the way the upper flows into the front part of the sole is very interesting.
Just like in previous seasons, Vans Syndicate explores the influence of Latino culture on the southern California skating scene, that is no different in this line-up.

We give you a first preview of the Vans Syndicate 007 series. John Cardiel worked on part of the collection and used his favorite material – Pendleton Flannel. Three styles are part of the pack, including the Sk8 Hi, Half Cab and another lo-top shoe. Each sneaker comes with a different Pendleton flannel on the upper. Along with the sneakers comes also a shirt, of course also in flannel.
Three classics have found their way together in this collaboration and the outcome is a great product. These will be released in stores soon. Via Aspekt Ratio.

Vans has an incredible year behind itself. Their regular lines, as well as their collaborations and especially the Syndicate collection, has been very well received. With people increasingly being fed up by the multicolor faux fur patent leather reflective 3M releases by the big players in the market, Vans has carved out a solid market segment for itself, delivering solid classics in meaningful new design.
That also does not seem to stop any time soon. 2007 was certainly also the plaid year. We cannot remember a single brand out there that did not go into plaid, either in the form of shirts or sneakers. Vans takes it one step further and brings their classics together with Pendleton Woolen Mills, one of the most traditional and respected wool companies in the US. The outcome is the Pendleton by Vans pack under the Syndicate umbrella. Thanks to Crooked Tongues we can show you some first pictures of this exciting release.
The pack consists of a Sk8-Hi, Half Cab and some Old Skools. Each sneaker has an upper mixed of black premium suede and Pendleton plaid. Our favorite is for sure the Half Cab in this release. The pack will be released in February 2008!

Once again Japanese store Atmos and luggage brand Porter get together. This time they did not only search for innovative design, they sourced special materials for the collection and found with Pendleton Woolen Mills, known for its outstanding American wool, the perfect partner. As part of the Atmos Autumn/Winter 2007 collection they present the Pendleton Wool Collection.
The collection consists of messenger bags, day bag backpack, wallet and coin cases. Each style comes in two colorways in the collection. The line fuses the technical expertise of  Porter with the classic materials of Pendleton, that feature in this collection a somewhat native American design.
One of the strongest luggage lines we have seen this season. Atmos will launch the collection today, October 5th, and if we are lucky it will also be available soon in their NYC store.
