Don’t let the hype about the HUF x Vans Old Skools take away from the limelight of the real old Old Skools. Vans is releasing the Vans Old Skool ‘92 LX as a reissue, which pro-skater Ray Barbee rocked back in the day. The shoe features a light tone allover, from the white and tan upper to the white midsole. The Vans stripe is donned in black leather to match the black laces and black midsole stripe. These are definitely some clean classics that will be big in the coming weeks. These will sell for $80 and will be available very soon.

Chinese artist Jahan Loh has collaborated with Vans once again to create a special Jahan Loh x Vans Mountain Mid. After another Vans-sponsored art exhibition, it only makes sense to release the collabo shoe. The Mountain Mid follows the same design as its Sk8-Hi predecessor, in its black and purple colorway. The strap uses a clean black snakeskin material along with black suede on the upper. This dark shoe is nicely offset by the purple tongue, which holds the collaborative logo on the tongue tag. Stay tuned for more shots of this shoe and release info later on.

There is perhaps no brand that executes perforated materials on sneaker silhouettes with more frequency, and maybe also skill, than the Vans team. But Vans can definitely switch it up- as seen with these pairs of Half Cab’s and Sk8-Hi’s that sport predominantly mesh grey bases with red, white, and nubuck black accents throughout. The red on the Sk8-Hi’s is of a darker hue and exists primarily on the inner lining. The red on the Half Cab’s is more vibrant and is seen on the upper as well as the inner lining. Expect these to drop at select Vans retailers this fall/winter.

Last summer we reported on a collaboration between the Vans team and skateboarder Jeff Grosso. This duo is now back at it again. A part of this pack is the Vans Sk8 Hi, Sk8 Mid, and Era. The Sk8 Hi boasts the most green out of all three shoes. While the Sk8 Mid and Era are made of predominantly black/white bases with very minimal green accents- such as on the back of the sole. Look out for this pack, as it is supposed to release as part of Vans’ 2009 Holiday collection.

Renown artist/illustrator Robert Crumb just recently was tied to the Vans Collection thanks to his work on a pair of Sk8 Hi’s and Slip On’s. But there was nothing to indicate that his influence on the Vans brand would end there- in fact, we now have reason to believe the opposite. Robert Crumb put his style to work once again, this time using the timeless “Authentic” Vans silhouette and keeping the all-white sole while mixing in a sky blue one piece upper that consists of his “keep on trucking” illustrations. This shoe might be popping up at your very own local Vans Vault accounts, if it hasn’t already.

Last month we saw a small preview of the Supreme x Vans Half Cab in a checkered design. Well, that was only a small installment of the collaboration between Supreme and Vans for the Fall/Winter 2009 Collection. The Supreme x Vans F/W 2009 Collection consists of three different colorways for the Vans Old Skool and Vans Half Cab. Both shoes use checkered print suede and canvas uppers and white midsoles, but in three different colorways: black, red, and yellow. The Old Skool features the Vans stripe in white leather, and comes with striped laces to offset the checkered pattern. Red is placed on the inner lining to contrast the leather insoles, completing the look that will surely be on everyone’s feet this holiday season. The collection is set to release online and in-store October 8th in the U.S., with a Japan release 2 days later.

Vans is known to experiment with collaborations, as it did with Hellz Bellz. But now we bring you information regarding a Vans collabo with Robert Crumb- a well known American illustrator.
