Under The Palms

Didn't notice a topic for these so I though I'd start one. You're probably already seen these.

"Brooks England give us a great look into their new collaboration alongside Vans Vault. Following up the teaser from a couple of months back, we now get an official look into the collection. Featured will be a pair of limited edition sneakers (1000 produced) alongside a beautifully crafted saddle, made in a 500 unit limited run. Both will become available starting November 2010 through select Vans Vault retail accounts and Brooks dealers of excellence. Take a closer look into the project below." via hypebeast

I was iffy on those, but now its official, I GOTTA HAVE IT!

Classy!
I'd swap the laces though, I hate those thin, round laces.

Don't care much for the shoes, but that saddle is nutts.

This is a pretty dope release. I wonder if 1000 pairs is actually low for Vault, or is that like production numbers for Syndicate, hehe?

I always wondered that too.

that skull thing is trippy. stared at for like 5 minutes.

Yeah, it super sick, so much detail. I can't wait to see them in person.

That saddle is on my want list... don't know about the shoes.

Those shoes are on my want list... don't know about the saddle.

If you havent seen the tongue it is so sick! I think that the copper ads just the right amount of touch to make this shoe pop just enough. A definite must have for any Vans collector! If I actually rode bicycles I would consider buying the saddle but after seeing how much the Filson Rucksack was (copped for $212) this isn't gonna be cheap.

I do agree that it could use different laces. Hope it comes with replacements

I knew that tounge would be sick! I cant wait to see them in person, I like the way the round thin laces look, I just cant keep them tied, I love the velcro strap on the tounge on the Velocita, it keeps the laces tied! Any tips to help keep my shoes tied?

Idk I just switch them out for the same color of normal laces. I got the spectator in black and white with the white round laces and it KEPT coming undone. I tried double knotting it and it still came undone so I put the extra white laces that came with my LVELs and it still looks good.

PS. I love the Velocita!! got the blacks. which ones you get?

Whoa I didnt see the tongue... I might have to get these.

And I bet they will fetch a tidy sum...

Brooks saddles are not cheap to start with so I can only imagine a limited release.

I would say they shoe/saddle combo will be at least 300 USD.

yeah I myself wont cop the saddle but I most definitely going to snag a pair of these! the box is sick too!!!
