English heritage label Barbour aligns with legendary footwear purveyor Vans and its premium California line for a capsule collection. This joint effort will feature a combination of durability, function and style for which each brand is so well known for. In addition to touches of tartan plaid, corduroy and leather accents, each model will include a unique reverse waffle outsole for increased traction combined with Barbour’s signature waxing technique to create tough, water-resistant footwear. Available in three popular Vans styles – the Classic Slip-On, Classic Era Wingtip and Chukka Del Barco – this capsule collection will retail at select Vans California and Barbour stockists respectfully.
Love the Eras and Slip-ons, but I'd most likely cop the Slips. Classy!

These are dope but I think it may have been a gutsy move collaborating with the CA line. Not saying I dont like CA but I feel like some people stay away from it since its not Vault or Syndicate. You gotta start somewhere though and I guess for CA its here with Barbour.
Hehe, I had a nightmare one night that Vans came to us with a collab idea under OTW. CA ain't so bad. If you switched the designs with CA and Vault, then almost everything would fly off the shelves. Real talk!
Hehe, my friend Chris works for OTW, and I hate to admit it, but damn, that would be like playing Mega Millions lottery, and winning 2 million. It's like damn, you should be grateful, but you know that others have gotten much much much much much much more, lol!
