If it can keep a man living in a wood-cabin 90 years ago warm then its good enough for me, thats why I have one on the way.

Vans Vault Surf Shaka Pack

For the last few days I have been on a proper Vans trip. My focus has been on older or funkier Vans - like those seen above. I have scoured the inter-web and found some fantastic designs, through collaboration Packs like those with Supreme to vintage made in USA trainers. After all my searching I came to these, but they are neither vintage nor a collaboration. Employing a simple surfing signal and therefore staying true to the essence of the brand and the California roots, these would be beautiful in the summer sun accompanied by a pair of dark chino shorts. They come out at selected Vans Vault in June.

The Other Side of the Pillow

Ive been hearing about this place for several weeks and my cousin Jack has not given up telling me about how fantastic the Made In USA vans are. Their quality of both design and material are far superior to Vans made away from the cali factory and luckily this place has sprung up in town that presents a large collection of them. The Other Side of The Pillow offers a very impressive deadstock selection of Van Dorens and, as ollies fantastically well presented video shows, other footwear ranging from vintage Nikes to Reebok B-B sneakers. Anyway this video perfectly highlights what this shop has on offer and I think a visit to it may very well be on the books before I head west. Good Luck to them, and well done on accumulating such an impressive selection
