vintage VANS white suede HALF CAB black rubber scene MADE IN USA US7

 the end of may saw the last of the 20th anniversary release of original colourway half cabs. just why vans didn't release any with black rubber scene beyond the supreme edition, nor why they don't tap into the general appeal of the the black sole i don't know. alas it is our duty to provide the unattainable in what was the decade defining release in the most rad colourway.
(check the og at the back!)

 normally when i find a thrashed pair of neutral suede i consider doing a DIY DYE custom. i must admit i did think about customising the above with selective black panels but im glad i came to my senses. the white suede is the perfect vehicle for the thrashed aesthetic. the imperfections are what make them perfect. the genuine article of 90's street skate.

Charles & Dye?









you may be familiar with our exploits in VANS diy dye jobs? well in honour of what would be the 30th wedding anniversary of Charles & Diana, now the decision is up to you!











this time we have a rare 90's loafer model which is perfect for a custom diy dye. we have 4 panels in question which you may decide you want altered. at this time however we can only offer black dye. as such, if you want to see this solid suede become a 2-tone suede simply re-direct to our facebook page to vote or add an option. by voting you have the chance to win this pair or a free pair of original VANS wayfarers!
