Two giants central to any proper upbringing, Vans and Crayola have teamed up to make a limited run collaboration pack. Set to release this fall, the shoes come in a variety of styles and colorways and are sure to fly off the shelf. Each shoe gives the effect of being messily scribbled on to produce a really authentic and unique look.
A nice extra touch is also seen in the lace tips, which sport the classic crayon wrapping paper.
More to come after the drop.

HERBERT SCHEIR VELSKOEN DESERT BOOTS

Admittedly I am one to turn my nose at any desert boot that strays from the classic, but the Herbert Scheir Velskoen desert boot has finally presented a quality deviation from the norm. In fact they do quite the opposite. For their inspiration, the brand goes back to before street-worn desert boots to a time when the shoes were actually worn for labor by tribes and first produced by the Dutch East India Co. in the 1600's. The boot is a combination of quality fabrics, altered shape, and laces that contrast nicely and really come together into a great modern desert boot.

The build it yourself chair is a nice playful touch in an industry that is often a bit too stuffy to take serious. A breathe of fresh air, we can only hope to see more of these fun furniture collaborations in the future.
