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.

It’s nice to see that Vans is still going strong with its less-hyped releases, such as this Perforated Pack. The Vans Perforated Pack consists of one Vans Era and one Vans Half Cab in similar colorways. Both use black suede on the front of the upper, and contrasts it with green perforated panels at the heel. This isn’t your ordinary perforated design, though. The pattern features perforated squares and circles to change it up a bit. Finally, both shoes are completed with a clean white midsole with a black stripe through it, and a gumsole as well. Both are available now online.

Skate giants Supreme and Vans team up yet again to conceive a new colorway of the Vans Half Cab. Although the two have worked together on a few collaborations in the past, this checkerboard Half Cab colorway seems to fall more on the Vans side of things than any of their previous efforts. Featuring a full out black/white checkerboard upper, black laces, and red lining, the model could be hitting retailers as soon as the end of the season — but we’ll keep you posted on any developments.
