The long awaited Vans Classics Spring 2012 collection has dropped. As always there's plenty of diversity amongst the range with a vast colour palette and fabrics, as well as contrast outsoles and distressed washes.
Firstly, is a throw back from the 80s. Taking inspiration from the 1986 BMX film RAD, this black colourway is part of the Authentic 'Rad Pack'. Canvas construction with white eyelets and red laces. Rad Print along the outsole.
Another pair of Authentics next. This shoe features an all over speckle effect and thick, round, black laces with speckles. The contrast Vans tab adds a nice pop to the shoe and helps to break up that all over print. Available in Turquoise and Charcoal colourways at ruinclothing.co.uk
Something a little more subtle in the form of these Era Distressed Black. Another throw back, giving the classic Era Black shoe a retro look and feel. Also available in Classic Blue.
One of the newer looks becoming ever present in the Vans collections is the contrast outsole. These 10oz Canvas 106 Vulcanized feature the black contrast outsole with a Zinfandel upper. Also available in Gunmetal.
