vintage VANS yellow on blue SK8-MID cut JEFF GROSSO made in usa old skool sk8-hi rare skateboard marine sunflower

 take route (19)66 to vans california & the birth of the sk8 family. #style36 low-cut sk8➡#style37(c)? sk8-mid➡#style38 sk8-hi
 
 

the history of the sk8-mid is somewhat blurry. with perhaps only 3 years of made in us production at best, we are yet to confirm the style number however this was at a time circa 1993 when style numbers were becoming superfluous. jeff grosso spearheaded the long anticipated re-release & even modern incarnations are hard to find. there is so much finesse to the original however which is lost on todays mid. as such, these are staying in the vault..... however we do have another strong mens pair available in the coming weeks. don't sleep

supreme floral vans ¬ new order vs new old stock

 do you like your good friday tunes #dirty or with #powercorruptionandlies? ¬ #sonicyouth #neworder
 what do peoples think about the recent supreme release?? has floral been done to death or does the album art homage seal the deal for you? shape aside, we do like the #95 & #49 however we would have loved to see the #38 without the jazz stripe or without the extended eyestay at least, to provide surface area to do the print justice.


we love the nod to the seminal new order album who have always been personal favourite of mine. saying that i only recently re-discovered the brilliance of your silent face linked below. its refreshing to see a less arbitrary release with somewhat more meaning, although im not sure core order heads will seek these out for that reason alone?


floral may well have reached saturation point but something tells me our #floralteatapestry drop will nevertheless reach tipping point... just as soon as summer comes around

THRASH v MINT ¬ whats yo flavour?




WHATS YO FLAVOUR? thrash vs mint ¬
how do you prefer your og vans minty fresh or batterred beyond belief? i have a new found love for the thrashed thanx in part to MADE FOR SKATE. normally i have to fight the OCD urge to clean & factory (re)lace a used van however now i appreciate the untouched beauty of the blow-outs & batterrings. not quite as crushed as hallams #438, these did the air miles on bmx instead. off wall!
