My musical tastes range from the catalogs of Wu-Tang and A Tribe Called Quest to underground delights such as Erule and Sick Lyrical Damager. Suffice to say, I don’t stray too far from the 1985-’96 rap scene and ‘70s neo-soul compilations. And I’ll admit it—my introduction to Iron Maiden music came when my ex-chemistry teacher played it in class one day during lab. (This is the same guy who was later caught editing a sexual “highlight” tape that contained footage with over 30+ women that he had failed to gain consent from. And of course, dude didn’t have his own software, so he was using Photoshop and Moviemaker programming. On the school’s computers. This eventually prompted a case that’s moving through Wisconsin courts that questions whether one has to gain verbal consent to be filmed when it’s implied that your partner is consensually naked and sexually active with you. Sigh…only in Waunakee.) However, my murky background with the band does nothing to affect the faithful population that’s extremely interested in hearing that Vans is gearing up to release their third Maiden-themed product. This time around, the brand has freaked their infamous, high-rising SK8 Hi model with graphics from the metal group’s Egyptian-inspired Powerslave album cover. There’s no information available regarding release date or pricepoint.
Just yesterday we unveiled an upcoming In4mation x Vans Half-Cab collabo on the horizon. A full look has surfaced as the combination denim and houndstooth Half-Cab further adds to In4mation’s recent string of collaborations. The In4mation crew chose the Half Cab for its representation of skating legend Steve Caballero who pioneered a number of tricks throughout his career. An added bonus with the denim upper is that continual wear will reveal a hidden houndstooth layer in a tearaway-like feature. Available starting December 12th with 500 pairs slated for production.
I want it......!!!! can't wait until end of year..........
That tacky corduroy jacket of your dad’s makes it way on this two-pack of Vans Eras. The two styles are more then just a difference in colorways as one style is made entirely of corduroy, the other one is a mix-match of brown leather toebox with green corduroy seen towards the back.
The grey one is really nice..........
