Poppin' Pritchards
The Pritchard made its debut a little over a year ago in the Vans OTW Collection. We presented our take on the traditional dress shoe back in Spring 2011 with a few tweaks to the OG design.
While we kept the general construction of the uppers, we played with the outsole, integrating our Vans DNA into the silhouette with a faux-heeled rubber cupsole paved with waffle tread. This season we play with the outsole some more, hitting the black open canvas colorway with a rich green pop and the brown shag suede style with a brick red detail.

Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" Trailer
Wes Anderson is back! For his latest film he once again teamed up with another talented writer/director Roman Coppola.

As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore -- and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Starring Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman."
