After just recently being the inspiration of Kaws's Original Fake collection, now also Converse releases the All Star Gachapin Hi. The sneaker comes with an all-over print of the characters in action. This is definitely something for fans, as aesthetics cannot win over many people.

It is now available at Ripe.

After the recent collaboration with Methamphibian, DC Shoes now got together with artist/curator Aaron Rose. DC and The 96 Tears SC will launch the Aaron Rose DC Artist Projects™ shoe series tonight, July 17th, at Choke Motorcycle Shop in Los Angeles. 

The shoe comes in a brown suede colorway with gum sole and a plaid lining. All in all simple and on point. The problem with many artist collaborations is, that by applying too much printing and artwork to the upper, it makes it impossible to actually wear them. That is not at all the case with this collaboration. Via Juxtapoz.

New York's Classickicks got together with Vans to collaborate on a series of models for this summer. They worked on the Era and on the Mid Skool '77. The Era comes in four different make-ups, each featuring a mix of colors on the panels. The Mid Skool '77 stay a little more simple and comes in red and blue, with canvas and suede on the upper.

Classickicks did not work with embroideries, prints or any of those techniques that we end up seeing all the time these days on mostly over the top designed shoes, that might look good on your shelf, but not on your foot. They only played with colors and panels and one can still see right away, that this is not a regular Vans shoe. Congrats on that.

Here you see the sneakers still in sample stage, but very soon we will be able to show you detailed images of the final production shoes.

Check out all six sneakers out of the Classickicks x Vans Summer 2008 collaboration after the jump.

First images of the Solebox x Lacoste Tennis 91 collaboration surfaced a while ago. Today we can give you a detailed look at the collaborative sneaker and give you the release details.

The sneaker is limited to 30 pairs and will be released on August 22nd. Not only the entire upper is made of the same material as towels, they will also come with an embossed Solebox towel as an extra.

The upcoming Undercover Fall/Winter 2008 collection is entitled "Unreal Real Clothes". The Japanese brand never misses to impress with their creations. 

Here we give you a first look at a couple of pieces from the new collection. The brand presents graphic t-shirts, Gore-Tex jackets as well as some more simple down vests and shirts. Each piece has its own twist and smart addition, that you might only see the second time around. 

It's great discovering new things about clothing that you buy, and that's one of the things we enjoy so much with Undercover. Pics via TK.

Vans announces a collaboration this Fall with renowned street artist Dave The Chimp.

This capsule collection includes a reworking of the Mid Skool Pro alongside two t-shirts utilising bright neon colours and Chimp’s instantly recognizable characters and cartoon eyes. Special attention has been paid to detailing including tattooed toes on the inner footbed, which are mirrored through the trademark Vans waffle sole in crystal clear rubber.

Chimp believes the majority of people go through life asleep and it’s been his mission for over a decade through fanzines and street art to wake people up, switch on their brains and get them thinking for themselves! Walking his own path, but keeping one beady eye on what’s happening in the streets. Chimp’s first shoe for Vans also relates to today’s club kids, whose eye catching dress sense evokes a reaction from the rest of society – a way to prove they exist, to show they are really alive, really living.

The pack will be released September 2008.
