A grip of great new Vans Classics have landed at KICKS/HI Makaloa. Included in the drop are two sets of chambray uppered styles – black Sk8-His, Old Skools, Eras and Slip Ons as well as the first three styles in blue (pictured above). Not quite as elegant as the chambray Chucks, but a good look nonetheless.

Hit the jump for details shots and a look at the black Vans Classics Chambray Pack.

Vans teamed up with Washington DC based Palace 5ive for a special holiday release of the Vans Sk8-Hi Vert-Pro. In a nod to the original Ballistic Sk8-Hi Vans Syndicate released in 2006, the shoe features chess ford ballistic mesh and benecke ceraprene as well as a hex nut 3rd lace hole, white perforated leather liner and contrast stitching. The Royal Blue kicks also feature blue wax laces as well as a traditional white lace option. Limited to only 200 pair worldwide, the shoe drops this Saturday, December 12 at Palace 5ive and online at Palace5ive.com.

After giving you a first look at the Vans x The Pixies Sk8-Hi way back in January, we now have a visual on the other half of that pack, which is by no surprise a Slip-On. Printed with The Pixies’ infamous Death To The Pixies artwork, each shoe comes in a simple black on white to match the photo. Now in store at ripe.

Following in the steps of the likes of Bad Brains and KISS, Atlanta-based metal band Mastodon are the latest musicians to receive their own shoe collection from skate footwear staple Vans. The ad for the shoes, taken from this month’s issue of Decibel magazine, show a pair of black Sk8-His with Paul Romano’s Blood Mountain cover art on the side. Also included in the collection are Blade Catcher Sk8-His and Slip-ons featuring artwork from Mastodon’s most recent Crack the Skye album. The Mastodon x Vans Collection will be released July 6th, 2009 and is now available for pre-order at Rhino UK.

Long Beach store Proper has been on the forefront of stores in the US for a while now already. For this holiday season they have some especially nice products waiting for you, created by themselves.
Proper has released Holiday ‘07 t-shirts, New Era caps and also their much anticiapted Vans Sk8-Hi pack, consisting of three Sk8-Hi’s, each with a satin upper. As you can see, definitely worth stopping by.
