Under The Palms

As part of the Holiday 2010 California collection, Vans presents the “Hiker” Mid Skool 77. It’s exactly what it sounds like – the Vans Mid Skool 77 updated with hiking influenced details. Options include black, brown and taupe suede. Slated for an early October release.(Highsnobiety)

I like the idea alot more than the shoe, they had the right idea, I think it could have been done better.

taken off the OTW blog.. but imo this is the cleanest colorway

^^
Agreed, but I don't know that I'd ever wear 'em. I like the concept, though, so hopefully they continue with it and release some other colorways.

I think the dark orange colore posted just above rocketgoof is a poorly lit pic. It looks like the third color posted at the top.

Yeah, that was my first impression, looks like a crappy picture.

yeah I guess it is. damn i still wish they made that color..

The color might actually come out closer to the dark one. The bright one looks too bring. Haha. Maybe somewhere in the middle. I'd expect neutral tones. Not highlighter orange.

how to size on these mid skools ?

Size down either half or full size. They have special insoles, but they're not the removable type. Just special material, but they're still thin like most GR releases.

thanks guam, im a 9.5 or 10 (wide feet ) on most vans.

so safe to get a 9 ? im eyeing a few on the bay

I can do one size down from a halfcab with a removable insole.

I've got the brown and taupe colorways. I like the taupe better. looks very great in person!!!

just picked up the black and brown colorways from the rack....very happy
