Made from water-resistant ballistic nylon, it sits atop a Vibram® Cristy outsole and is hued in black from top to bottom with a minimalist color blocking set at the embossed leather heel paneling and midsole clip to form a sharp contrast. The boot is finished with a neoprene collar to provide ultimate comfort and all day wearability.

Retailing for $160 USD, the boot drops tomorrow December 18 and comes with two sets of laces and a custom shoe bag.”

Vans OTW x Stampd – Tesella (Fall 2014)

Words via Highsnobiety:

“In an interesting new team-up, Vans OTW has gotten together with Los Angeles brand Stampd. The collaboration for Fall 2014 is a new luxury take on the Vans OTW Tesella silhouette. Stampd is known for their clean and minimal aesthetic, and has applied exactly that to the low top sneaker. The sneaker comes with a butter soft calf leather upper in black and an UltraCush™ Lite outer sole, outfitted in a speckled finish. The added hand-woven leather upper is yet another nice touch, underlining the understated fashion that Stampd has become known for in the high-end streetwear market over the last few years. Having started with footwear in its early days, Stampd afterwards ventured in clothing, which is now its primary focus. It is nice to see them return to their roots with this footwear collaboration. The Vans OTW x Stampd Tesella will retail for $160 and launches at the Stampd pop-up shop (located at 8860 Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA) at 11 a.m. PST on August 2 and online at 12 a.m. PST on August 4 in the official Stampd online store.”
