VANS OTW
The crew over at Vans Europe put together a pretty awesome exhibition utilizing over 200 pairs of vintage Vans, with some of them dating back to the 1960s. The exhibit was a part of their House of Vans takeover in Berlin during fashion week. The sneaker showcase was a compilation of several Vans collectors including Skateboard Museum founder/owner Jürgen Blümlein, The Other Side of the Pillow's Henry Davies and our homie/artist/longtime Vans collaborator Dimitri Coste. Props to the Euro

The Surveyor pack includes the latest introduction to the collection, the Prelow, alongside two OTW staples, the high-top Alomar and mid-top Piercy, in Canyon

The Vans OTW Collection presents the Dot Camo pack this spring featuring the Alcon, Ludlow and Stovepipe alongside two new silhouettes, the Lasdun and Prelow. The Lasdun is a slimmed-down blucher silhouette that blends timeless court shoe styling with modern sensibility, and the Prelow infuses the classic Vans low-top look with UltraCush lightweight technology to bring comfort and style to another level. The camouflage capsule utilizes an innovative dotted-camo performance textile for fabrication across the uppers, linings and design accents
Painter and graffiti artist Barry McGee AKA Twist (and a few other pseudonyms as you'll find out in the video) created a large mural as part of Cadilllac and Vanity Fair's "Art in the Streets 2012" project. The side wall of Brooklyn's Mark Morris Dance Center gets transformed into a huge piece art piece with various patterns, illustrations and typographies embedded into it along with McGee's aliases.
The Vans OTW Collection rolls out four new renderings of the Alomar this spring. Dubbed the "Basic" pack, this offering introduces simple makes of the line's most popular silhouette with green, white, red and black colorways for January delivery. The trio of colored options sport canvas uppers and leather heel counters while the fourth alternative presents an all-black aesthetic with additional pig suede detailing integrated into its design. Each high-top is finished off with tonal eyelets, flat shoe laces, mesh
We are big fans of art projects involving currency and this one is no exception. German artist Aslan Malik defaced US Dollars and made the presidents into characters from Justice League of America. Amazing. Peep more images beyond the fold.
