Mr. Cartoon x Vans Syndicate 006

So, with the lack of updates I decided to grab some old stuff that has already been reported and show them again.

Mr. Cartoon, world famous tattoo artist, has come with the heat again. His first pair of Vans were part of the 001 Syndicate line in the form of an Era. Mr. Cartoon did it big with that line and he came back and brought the heat again. Mr. Cartoon has designed 3 pairs of Sk8 highs for the 006 Syndicate line which is slated to drop in the Fall. These pairs are one of my most anticipated pairs of the year. Vans and Mr. Cartoon never go wrong. Syndicate crew has been holding it down with there recent releases. Can't wait to see what else they got in line for us.

Here are the pics of the samples:

Rad x Vans Syndicate

Knowing that the second set of the 005 Syndicate Vans are coming out soon, I decided to show some old pictures of what is suppose to come out.

The first part of the 005 Syndicate Vans included the Bulletproof Half Cabs and the Wes Humpston Eras. The second part of the 005 Syndicate collection includes the W)Tap collection and the Rad Collection.

The Rad collection is based off the old '80s movie "Rad" based on the BMX culture. These shoes are extremely sick. They feature the Rad logo on the midsole with the different colored checkerboard patterns. I've actually seen them in person and they are ill.

Be on the look out for these at your local Syndicate shops.

Advice...

I have been given a suggestion to make a trade section for Vans. I am not that good in making a section for buy/sell/trade for Vans, but any help would be greatly appreciated. E-mail me at rvillaruz@gmail.com for any suggestions.

Thanks.

Vans x Duke Kahanamoku & Warped Tour

Being from Southern California, these Duke Vans have a lot of meaning behind it. These shoes are actually a re-release of a very old pair of Vans. The shoes are all slip ons, but have some of the best details ever. The back of the mid sole where it usually says "Vans Off The Wall" now they say "Duke Kahanamoku Surfer". The insole has a special label and the box reflects one of the original Duke Kahanamoku box. These shoes are part of the Vans important moments in history pack. Be on the lookout for these awesome pairs.

Here are the pics of all 3 colors:









Another pair that is releasing are in commemoration of the Vans Warped Tour. The shoes are very simple with a black/white and black/black colorway using the Old Skool model. The shoes have the Warped Tour logo around the mid-sole, which gives it its own personality.

Here are pics of both colorways:

X-Girl x Vans

Here is the latest collabo with X-Girl x Vans. X-Girl is a huge brand in Japan and they are coming with with a pair of Slip Ons and Sk8 His. These shoes are very plain, but it is hard to make out what is on the side panel. There is no word on when these are being released but from the picture it looks like they are going to retail for around $100. Be on the lookout for these...

W)Taps x Vans Part II

Remember the 1st set of W)Taps Vans, people went bananas over them. They came out with a Chukka, a Sk8 high, a slip on, and 2 pairs of Eras and focused on the simple colors of black and white.

The new set came out with the same styles, but switched up the main color to Navy. These are slated to release in the Fall at all stores with Syndicate accounts. Be on the lookout for these at your local shops, so start bugging them with your numerous calls.

Simpons Vans

Yesterday marked the release of the Simpsons Vans. 12 of the most popular artists in the world came out with 14 pairs of shoes which included some Slip Ons, Eras, Sk8 Highs, Chukkas and Mid-Skools.

Here are some more pictures of all 14 pairs:

These boxes make the shoe that much more fresh.





Tony Munoz Sk8 Hi & Slip On



Neckface Chukka. Nice mixing a very plain shoe with his own work. White eyelets for the laces...straight FIRE.



Gary Panter Era. Laser ethcing on the side panels of the shoe make the shoe that much more nice.



David Flores Sk8 Hi & Slip On. Simple but so much character.



Sam Messer Slip On.



Stash Mid Skool LX.



Taka Hayashi Sk8 Hi. Furry tounge and Itchy & Skratchy make the shoe extremely nice.



Futura Mid Skool LX. Apu on the side panels is chill but I wish Futura came with more of his style.



Kaws Chukka. Need I say more, Kaws always bringing heat.



Todd James Sk8 Hi. Very very very nice pair of shoes. Mixed style with a plain shoe, his art on the shoe sets it off.



Geoff McFetridge Chukka. Nice shoe but I don't get the flowers, but sick shoe nonetheless.



Mr. Cartoon Slip On. Mr. Cartoon always brings heat. He brought his style all over the shoe.



All the artists brought their own style to this pack. I heard stories of hours of waiting and marked up prices. I still need to cop my pairs, so eBay here I come...
