I feel a strong sense of deja vu as I write about this new pack – Vans Era and Half Cab in blue and black denim.  I just hear this voice in the back of my head that they’ve done this before.  Oh well.  If Vans is not original, at least the shoes look good.  At least to me, anyway.  If you don’t already have some denim sneaks in your collection, here’s your chance.  I get the sense that Era is more frequently updated with different colors and materials, while the Half Cabs, not as much.  Then again, the Half Cab’s popularity with nostalgic skater dudes such as myself is undeniable.  Pick some up now and keep them on ice, who knows when they’ll be available in this style again.

NOTE: THE ERA IN BLACK DENIM APPEARS TO HAVE A SUEDE HEEL.

Available at Nice Kicks.

I saw this book in a random store the other day and I immediately thought how fantastic it would be to be able to not only customize each color of a sneaker, but pick the materials too!  Oh, what wonderful vegan combinations we could come up with: pleather, chambray, denim, or plain old canvas.  Wouldn’t that be sooo nice…

Man, sorry all for being so delinquent lately.  I just relocated back to New York City!  Yes yessss.  I’m happy to be back.  But moving is such a pain in the ass – taking apart all the material things in your life and re-assembling it is such a chore.  I need to get rid of some stuff, seriously.  And being back in the city, there is just so much more going on!  This is a plus/minus.  One of the minuses is that you can get sidetracked from your routine, like for example, blogging.

But enough of my personal crap.  Spotted by Tall Mike – these fresh Nike SB Bruins.  In all black canvas, with gum sole, and camo inner.  Pretty sweet combo.  Unfortunately, Premier is selling these only in stores.  Post a link if you see any of these babies online!

Many of you are huge fans of the Onitsuka Tiger shoes by Asics, and for good reason.  We’ve posted on here a couple of times about the various models that are vegan.  Here’s another – the Tabigutsu CV.  It’s a slight departure from something like the California 78.  This is a basic, mono-colored slip-on, but with a little bit of an overlapping pattern with the fabric.  It’s no substitute for a Vans slip-on, but for someone looking for something very basic, this is a good option.

Available in Charcoaland Faded Denim at Zappos for $49.50.
