Ludwig Van x Vans Vault Deadstock Canvas Project

[MF HectoOR]

Tons of us are guilty of sitting on a brand new pairs of shoes before breaking them out. Vans is guilty of sitting on the materials it uses to make its shoes. For its latest collaborative project, Vans Vault partnered with Ludwig Van to create a very limited collection of Eras. 14 total sneaker colorways utilize original canvas prints and suede panels, as well as waxed laces, and are limited to a total of 288 pairs for the worldwide release. Only five U.S. stores will be stocking them come April 8th, as well as two European and a very limited number of Japanese accounts.

Not sure if the video (OTWS.net home page) showed all the patterns but I think the only one that grabs me is the Cannabis print

[chukkaboot]

I want the pot leaf one too! Hopefully there's a size 9 or 9.5 that I can get my hands on. if not a blunt will do lol

[KURUPT]

word i may have to get a pair of these

[MF HectoOR]

I think they're only going to release full sizes. I'll be looking out for a sz 10 bud print.

Dope that it comes with a belt though.

[wolfstrice09]

correct only full sizes

[erwin]

Hope i can grab a pair

[rocketgoof]

Awesome idea! But the only pair really doing anything for me is the plaid pair. Some of the others look like they might be cool, though, just can't tell in the small pics.

Some of these are looking really nice and original , but only full sizes??

What's cool about this collaboration = each pair is unique.
The bad side is that depending on which design/pattern you want, the sizes are very limited and depends on which retailer you go to:
-Proper (Long Beach)
-Conveyor (Santa Monica)
-Undefeated (La Brea?)

I was thinking the same thing.. There's probably only a few pairs per size of each cw..

Anyone know what the retail price is going to be?
