Vans OTW x Chris Kong Alomar

Post by LV_1790 »

Words by highsnobiety "vans OTW has teamed up with Hong Kong designer Chris Kong on a limited edition version of its Alomar mid top sneaker. Kong heads Garage Works Industries, known for its vinyl figures and toys, mostly in collaboration with well known contemporary artists. Years ago we have actually worked with Chris Kong on a special Highsnobiety version of their Ron English toy.
Today we can give you a first preview of the collaborative sneaker that he created with Vans OTW. It comes in a striking red colorway with a thunder graphic embroidery on the side and a fading check pattern on the mid-sole.

Look out for a release soon and check out the video here above that was produced for the release of the sneaker."

Note: tried to add the image but it said the daily quote has bee reached link for the pictures and video below.

It was Supposed to be pretty limited ^^^ only 2-3 accounts per territory..... so I'm guessing no webstore......we passed on these, and the upcoming dimitre coste ones that are coming out right now.

That said, i can probably wrangle anything you are after Lazywork....and / or anyone else interested.... your foot size may be the most difficult issue.

Appreciate the info sir! If you can possibly get these in a 7 that'd be great, yet I don't even know if they even make the collabs that small. Also, good lookin out on getting my syndicate chukka lows for me!

thanks for the heads up on the info chris,

i had a otw rep tweet me back with the same list of stores, just sucks that most of those stores dont even have them up on their webshop yet. Guess ill be checking every so often if they update their sites. I was hoping these would be a GR, hype or not....this colorway/concept is dope to me. :D
