Vans and the Places Where They Were
(08 February 2010) - Evoking memories of pot-soaked Saturdays or long drives on the highway, filmmaker and photographer Joe Stevens' side project " Vans and the Places Where They Were" documents the glory of the classic seventies van in an ongoing photo essay dating back to 1996. Formatted horizontally rather than vertically, Stevens makes scrolling through the images akin to watching a lime green and candy paint parade...

Vans Lacey
(28 July 2008) - A hybrid slip-on/boat shoe, you get the best of both worlds with the Vans Lacey. Although I haven't yet tried them on, they look super-comfortable like most Vans. The easy-on and off is always a big attraction and I like that if I need more security, the wrap-around laces can be tightened up with a quick pull—for outrunning the fuzz or what have you....

Six Letter Word: Bloody Vans
(14 November 2007) - It's hard not to sigh at another vector face or skull and diamond combo. I'm guilty of skull overindulgence myself. But Six Letter Word (aka illustrator, Diogo Potes) balances skulls with other macabre themes to create art that actually looks fresh and interesting. His use of random fragmented shapes and delicate lifework add dimension and individuality to topics that could easily be overdone. My...

Squidfire Hoodie
(16 November 2006) - Just over a year old, the Baltimore-based line Squidfire now boasts a whole range of goods hand-printed on manual presses with their original designs. In addition to Vans (actually hand-painted), messenger bags and a line for kids, they've recently introduced hoodies, like this "Workout" sweatshirt (pictured left, $45) that features overlapping images of a smiling 70's-era muscleman in red, blue and black on grey....

Sneaker Freaker, the Book
(14 October 2005) - Culling the best of the first six editions of the bi-annual Sneaker Freaker, the book version is a convenient alternative to shelling out more than seven times the cover price for original back issues (if you can even find them) on Ebay. Following the same tried-and-true mix of interviews, profiles, and other editorial tidbits accompanied by drool-inducing images and printed on matte stock, the...

Sinko Trace by Seth Brau
(22 September 2005) - Sinko Trace. The white on black design is a move toward simplicity from his original Five Three fiesta. They're still distinctively Seth, though, with an abstract pattern spanning the toe boxes and pin stripes on the side. Each pair is finished off with the Sinko Trace mark on the heels. And simplicity affords economy-- a pair of Sinko Trace are $85 compared to $175...

Josh Podoll
(21 September 2005) - Last week in LA I stopped in on my favorite Apartment No. 9's new Brentwood shop to check out their latest finds. They had just received their shipment of Trovata Vans which are pretty smooth and come in a beautiful wood box. Even more exciting, though, were the t-shirts from San Franciscan artist, Josh Podoll. The fauna-centric designs are printed on ring-spun cotton. One...

Stüssy XXV Anniversary Limited Edition Vans
(20 July 2005) - Celebrating their 25th year, Stüssy unveiled these Vans Skate Hi Sneakers last week. (Vans, by the way, have been around since 1966 and, like Stüssy, are Southern California O.G.s.) Sean Stüssy, the founder (who started the brand with his screenprinted signature on T-shirts), designed the pared-down paisley pattern in the 80s and resurrects it with 1000 pairs in each the White/Olive and Black/White colorways...

It's got a great balance eye candy and head candy, with stories ranging from the history of Vans to the reality of opening your own kick boutique.

Mandala Vans SK8-HI

Punk Vans
(09 September 2004) - Onward with punk... Vans was showing these lovelies at Soled Out tonight. "How was the event" you ask? Kind of annoying. The kicks were pretty good, but they were all packed in behind a tiny little bar where crowds were 3 and 4 deep. There was too much going on to take it all in, but I was able to grab some pics......
