A Preview: Vans Feat. Jahan Loh “Mountain Mid”

mountain-mid-vans-collabo-2

Vans once again utilized the Mountain Mid platform for another collaboration with Jahan Loh.  Featuring a black and purple colorway, a Vans skull image on the tongue, and snakeskin straps located in the midfoot area, which I think is redundant with the leather laces in place.  I also thought the laces should have been in another contrasting color instead of the black laces they used here.  Thankfully, the white stitching following the shoes outline provided the much-needed ontrast to this collection.

There is no definite timetable for its release but expect it to be soon.

Product Produced From Vans & Robert Williams Pack

Vans once again teamed up with a talented artist. Robert Williams, popular pop provocateur and talented artist, produced a very artistic Van sneaker after teaming up with VANS sneakers. His VAN sneaker design carries the talent he is famous for – hot rod art, comics and abstract paintings.

The sneaker is a chukka boot 64 LX with a checkerboard pattern of white and red. It carries Robert Williams’s comic panels, which forms a beautiful artistic creation.

I personally love the design because it projects an artistic individual. The sneaker’s design itself carries its own personality, which makes it a head turner!

Vans Holiday 2009 Peacoat Pack

vans-peacoat-pack-hol09-front

In all things sneakers, sometimes the simplest designs get more attention. I have seen enough in the last few days and I could say that the ones I would go for would be those designs that are straightforward, understated and un-complicated. Oh, I do appreciate a little bit of technology for more comfort and ease.

As Vans releases its Holiday 2009 collection, I cannot help but feel nostalgic when I saw the lineup.  The navy and white colorway just screams classic and both the Chukka Boot 69 and the Era 59 are looking irresistibly solid. Both have suede uppers, with vulcanized construction and a classic waffle grip.

It retails from $70.
