Nike SB Zoom Salazar Preview

Here’s the first look at Nike SB’s Omar Salazar signature shoe (via HypeBeast).

The Zoom Omar Salazar combines classic (read: Half Cab) styling with Nike’s Flywire technology. Sure, it’s an ape of a classic, but they still look pretty dope. Maybe Baseline and ShelfLife will order some in the blue colourway?

Edit: There’s also two Salazar signature tees due out. Designs include a portrait broken arm tee as well as a tee playing off the “outer space” theme for the sneaker, which happens to be Omar’s nickname.

Vans California 2010 Spring Authentic CA

Ooooof. These are hawt.

From HypeBeast:

“Vans drops a new series of Authentics from its California Collection for Spring 2010. Featured is this standout colorway, pairing a pewter base with red and orange accents. Premium laces and a nylon ripstop upper add a nice new dimension to the timeless silhouette.”

DVS TOEKEO 2nd colourway

Feeling it.

DVS x Cadence Toekeo

Speaking of Keo, I just peeped these over at Zlog. Could these signature shoes form part of the DVS x Cadence collection?

DVS x Cadence – a closer look

The Foot Down posted a few shots of the DVS x Cadence Milan CTCs. Word is they feature a lace protector on the tongue and are slim enough to fit into cages (if that’s how you roll).

The yellow pair are lush:

And I like the Stone Roses-inspired t-shirt, too.

These will be available through the more discerning South African stockists in June/July. Keep checking FGCT for info about the launch!

Brooks x Vans

Tracko got the scoop on a collab between Brooks and Vans. The pairing makes sense to me: most fixed gear riders have an affinity for Vans (massive generalisation but hey) and Brooks makes legit olde-type saddles. No word whether saddle and shoes are being sold separately or as part of a set.

Looking forward to finding out more!

Vans AV6: Old Sk/Era?

As seperate entities, the Vans Old Skool and Era are two of my favourite shoes. But I’m not quite sure how I feel about having them squished together like this:

From highsnobiety:

“For his sixth design, Anthony Van Engelen fused two classics to make a third one. Using a time-honored Vans design technique, he blended the Old Skool and Era together for a new twist on timeless Vans skate product. This shoe features upgraded performance features and clean sidestripe styling. Van Engelen’s influence is evident in the heritage-based utility colors and materials.”

Maybe it’ll grow on me.

DVS x Cadence update

More info on the collaboration between DVS and Cadence.

I’m really looking foward to seeing how these turn out. The collaboration with a credible skate shoe company and legit fixed gear clothing manufacturer sounds great. Good news is that the shoes will be available LOCALLY through Revolution. Thanks for the tip-off Jon!

Palace 5ive x Vans SK8-Hi Vert-Pro

Nice and clean. I like these.

From HypeBeast:

“Vans teamed up with Washington DC-based Palace 5ive for a special Holiday release of the Vans SK8-Hi Vert-Pro.

In a nod to the original Ballistic SK8-Hi Vans Syndicate released in 2006, the shoe features chess ford ballistic mesh and benecke ceraprene as well as a hex nut 3rd lace hole, white perforated leather liner & contrast stitching alongside blue wax laces as well as a traditional white lace option.

Limited to only 200 pairs worldwide, the shoe drops on Saturday, December 12th.”
