As part of their Spring 2008 collection, Supra introduces the Cuban slip-on. Since the introduction of the slip.on by Vans, it seemed like nobody could do much except copy the style 1-to-1. Supra managed to give the shoe a different look and to give it their very own look. It is shipping to accounts right now in the color above as well as black.

Here a look at some upcoming models out of the Converse 100th Anniversary collection.

The Jack Purcell EM Slip-On returns in a series of colorways. The shoe in that form reminds a bit of a boat shoe, making it perfect for summer time. Originally it was released in 1992. Expect these to be in stores in February.

Also the Jack Purcell now comes as a mid. It is available in black and white, and the upper features an exotic pattern. These were first released in 1999 and will come back to stores in February. Pics via Converse Japan.

Vans Syndicate teams up with writer, tattooist and painter Grime. The artist, known for both his font work as well as his graffiti/tattoo art, designed a slip-on and a Half Cab for this collaboration. The shoes come in dirty white/black with graphics by the artist going over most of the sneakers.
Once again Vans Syndicate made a wise and interesting choice by collaboration with Grime, an artist that has deep roots in skateboarding and appreciation for the brand. We suspect that these will drop along with the Pendleton collaboration as part of the Vans Syndicate Spring ‘08 line. The sneakers will be released along with t-shirts, also designed by the artist.
