Posted on by bythelevel

 

In celebrating 10 years since the store first opened it's doors, Goodhood have combined with Vans to mark the occasion with a special collaborative release inspired by Newton’s third law - “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

 Comprised of two updated Sk8-Hi silhouettes and a new take on the classic Authentic, the Goodhood logo is used extensively throughout, patterned on to all three styles which arrive in black/white and white/off-white colour options. Each shoe has been constructed from a mix of soft leather and durable canvas on the upper, completed with custom Goodhood lacing, a subtle 'Equal/Opposite' print on the midsole and of course the Vans signature waffle outsole construction. 

 The Goodhood x Vans “Equal | Opposite” pack is set to land in-store on Saturday the 29th of April at 10am and online at 12pm.

Vans Classic “Flamingo” Pack

Posted on by bythelevel

 

 Vans Classic bring us firmly into summer mode as they present the Van Doren “Flamingo” pack, made up of the Van Doren Authentic and Van Doren Old Skool silhouettes.

Having enjoyed a few days of rare British sunshine, now seems the perfect time to update the wardrobe with a Summer statement piece and the Flamingo pack offers up just that in terms of footwear. The eye catching pink and turquoise tropical pattern is inspired by the reissued prints and patterns pulled from the Vans archives over the years.  The all over flamingo print is applied to the durable canvas uppers of both the Authentic and Old Skool styles, sitting on top of a clean white midsole with accentuating black piping and Vans signature waffle outsole. Additional features include contrasting white lacing, with white side stripe branding on the Old Skool, bringing balance to the bold design.

The Vans Classic Van Doren “Flamingo” Pack is available now at vans.co.uk
