What are you favorite Vans releases of 2010? Top 5 or 10?

[chrishatesyoujk]

I was wondering what everyone's top Vans releases of 2010 were...I kinda have to think about this one too. I didn't know where to put this one because it can span all categories. My number one spot definitely goes to the Taka Hayashi x Vans x Pendleton TH-HIs though. Those are my favorite pair to date.

[DJGuamstyles]

Hmm...hard one. Here's my top 5 for this year:

1. Vault x MLB x UNDFTD "Dodgers" Mid Skool
2. Syndicate x W)Taps Sk8-mids (both colorways)
3. Vault x Taka x Pendleton TH-Hi's
4. Vault x Filson Sk8-Hi's
5. Syndicate TNT II's (both colorways)

BTW, I moved it to the Off-Topic forum, cause it's just random Vans conversation.

1. TH Hi x Pendleton
2. W)taps Sk8 Mid (Navy for now until I get my Blacks. Then both)
3. Luke Meiers Zero Lo "S"
4. Carhartt Authentic Pro Cypress (Green)
5. Filson 46 LX (Era)

[JIGSAWjr]

Zero Lo hands down.

[5150marley]

1.W Taps Sk8 Mid (Navy)
2 Carhartt Authentic Pro Cypress (Green). Best color of the release in my opinion...
3. Luke Meiers Zero Lo "S" Black (Will climb in rank after I get the eyelets done by Guam...)
4. Chukka Pro Black/Charcoal (GR)
5. Filson SK8 HI (will climb in rank if I get a pair for retail)

Honorable Mention goes to Vault x MLB x UNDFTD "Dodgers" Mid Skool (would have made the Top 5 but I didnt get em)

I thought you quoted my list for a second! I like your style!!

[chrishatesyoujk]

I really tried to change it up! I'm a Vault lover but I tried to spread love over a couple of categories!
Top honor and runners-up position goes to my man Taka!


1.) TH HI LX
2.) Priz Hi Lace LX
3.) Spectator LX
4.) Vans Classic Canvas & Leather pack
5.) Vans x Hellz Bellz Hadley

[Panic]

1) Pendleton x TH Slip-on (green)
2) Sk8 Mids x Wtaps (navy)
3) Era x Filson
4) Chukka Pro x Crooks & Castles
5) Snakeskin Chukka x Supreme (black)

[DJGuamstyles]

That's a nice line-up Panic. The Crooks Chukkas, and Snakeskin SUpremes would've been in my top 10. In fact, here's my #6-10:

6. Supreme Chukka Snakeskin Black
7. Supreme Half-Cab gumsole Gray
8. Syndicate x W)Taps Authentic burgundy
9. Vault Era LX Dri (most comfortable pair I wear all the time...I should get the halfcabs)
10. UNDFTD Era Hernan LX series (all 4 equally)

[rocketgoof]

Definitely gonna have to think on this! Off the top of my head...

Vault:
Vault Spectator LX (I got the black/black, still looking for the black/white)
Vault Shaka Authentic (got the blue/white, never even saw the orange/mahogany pair listed anywere)

Syndicate:
W)Taps sk8-mids (got the black, wouldn't mind having the navy)
W)Taps authentic (got the black, wouldn't mind the red/cherry/maroon/iforgettheofficialcolor)
Luke Meier Zero Lo's (black)

CA:
CA Wingtip Era's (got the blue, black and cement pairs)

OTW:
OTW Larkin (herringbone)
OTW Bedford (black, need to stop sleeping on these, it's the only pair on my list I don't have yet)

GR's:
Glitch Checker Authentics
Black Checkered Perf Era (only ever saw 'em at journeys)
Black/Gray Ripstop Era
Black/White Vanosaur's
Royal Blue Hosoi Bash
Versa's were a sweet new model

Ok, I obviously need to order this and distill it... haha I'll get back to you guys on that. Almost included my top list of grails I picked up this year, but it was starting to turn into overkill...

[chrishatesyoujk]

We should make this a blog post...start nominations and voting. I really wonder what we all think were the best releases as a whole.

[DJGuamstyles]

Sounds good, I think we should start out with a poll on here, but not sure how we can poll visitors...gotta go find a wordpress plugin for pollling, cause we only have like 10-15 active members on here, and that's not enough info to pick a top 5 from.

[DJGuamstyles]

OK,. I found a poll plugin for the blog. After we get more people to give their top 5, I will tally up the top 5 from everyone, and then we can make a poll for everyone, and run it for a few weeks, up until New Years. Sound good?

[wolfstrice09]

thats awesome man!

[MF HectoOR]

i dont even know all of them lol.
