Vans California Spring 2011, Era, Sk8 , And Old Skool


We bring you more previews from the Vans California Spring 2011 Footwear Collection. Today we take a look at a series of premium leather sneakers, including the Era, Sk8 Hi and Old Skool. All three come in a dark blue and a black colorway, with entirely tonal uppers, resulting in clean and premium looking sneakers.(Via Highsnobiety)

I was getting ready to make this thread since nobody else had yet due to how amazing these are... I'll probably have to pick up each of the blacks! Might even pick up the navy sk8-hi, too. The promo shots hardly do 'em justice compared to how they look in the Collective set! *salivating*

This pack really does look good. Want to see them in person.

not the biggest fan of any of the CA Collections but these are savage!! Going to have to get one of each color but I'm not sure which model....

I'm starting with the sk8-hi's of each, then working my way to collecting the rest of the black collection I think... Probably my favorite of any CA release? Other than the wingtips, but those are like a whole different breed compared to these.

Smooth leather (almost always preferred to suede in my opinion!), waxed laces, sk8-hi vert model, monotone triple foxing stripe... Just about all of my favorite elements for a basic-colored Vans release! (and no brown or earthtone highlights like so many CA releases this past year! Finally! haha)

these CA release are getting pretty dope. will need to get my hands on both the eras.

Yeah glad you all appreciate these, a very very clean shoe indeed.

I need both eras!

This release it a must have.....

I will probably get the SK8 and the Old Skool for sure....maybe the blue eras.

The black eras look too much like my Brooks for me to get em...

Throw navy leather on any shoe and I'm down with it!

Both Old Skools will be purchased, these are great!

Anybody seen the sk8-hi's or old skool's anywhere yet?

Proper has both Eras and the Black Sk8 Hi

anybody got them pls post detailed pictures aha

Anyone know of anywhere other than Proper that has the eras? I'm in Canada so I need someone that actually sells online and ships over the border.

I've been checking every day and I can't see anyone besides Proper that has these...
