In following up on their earlier 2016 release, Converse is back alongside London-based jewelry lifestyle brand BUNNEY, once again taking on the converse jack purcell. This time, a focus is placed on materials and unique details.BUNNEY in turn worked with Linton Tweed, a renowned UK mill famous for supplying Paris couture houses, to create an exquisitely designed cloth upper. The shoes are then lined with pink, premium kid leather, all while featuring the BUNNEY logo on heel of the left foot, cotton laces, and a Petersham grosgrain heel stay. Lastly, Nike Zoom Air technology on an OrthoLite footbed provide the wearer with enhanced comfort and cushioning.
Thrasher and Vans will soon be linking up to release this footwear collaboration. Above you will find the Thrasher x Vans Collection which consists of a special version of the vans classic slip on and Vans Sk8-Hi.Both classic models opt for a Black base; the Slip-On appears to be constructed out of canvas, while the Sk8-Hi dressed up in a suede upper and leather lining. Looking to keep some of the classic aesthetics alive, both model comes with a White rubber sole. What really gives each pair the collaborative look and feel is the use of the Thrasher logo noted on the toe (Slip-On) and heel (Sk8-Hi). Although there is no release date just yet, we expect the Thrasher x Vans Collection to get on in the very near future. Interested?
The stealthy and mysterious DEFCON collective is back in the trenches with Vans this summer for the return of the Sk8-Hi Notchback. The slightly modified vans sk8-hi with a cut-out heel piece is presented in three premium yet ultra durable and rugged camo-accented colorways of khaki, black, and olive. How rugged you ask? Each features waterproof and flame-retardant Wolverine Pig Suede with military-grade Multicam Nylon textiles for the upper, and Vans’ pro skate Duracap vulcanized sole. In other words, they’re built to last. Other tech features of the shoe include a gusseted tongue to further help keep water out, Dri-Lex linings for moisture wicking, Vans Ultracush HD sockliners, and a reverse waffle outsole for added traction.
