Vans is proud to introduce Andreas Wiig’s first signature model. The boots includes the Vans new Quadfit Asym-X thermal liner that works with the structure of the leg for superior fit, the Vans Flight Core Air Snowaffle Sole with a dual gel/air dampening cassette and RECCO® Rescue Reflectors. The boots also come in Black/White and Red/White/Blue.  Wiig took inspiration from his Viking roots for this boot which matches up with a snow jacket and trouser using an eye-catching yellow lumberjack plaid. If that is just a little too loud for your taste there is a classic looking grey and white pinstripe version.

The latest in the Consolidated “Don’t do it” saga, which started in the late 90′s as a backlash to Nike‘s attempts to break into the skateboard industry, is a collaboration with Rome SDS. Rome’s Libertine boot was used in the project and exhibits the ever smile enducing banana swoosh with classic drunk colourways. Obviously this is a not so coincidental dig at Nike‘s appearance on the snowboarding stage. It will be interesting to see what conroversy ensues.

Converse seem to be the next mainstream shoe brand to enter the skate shoe arena, following in the footsteps of Nike, Adidas and RBK. These are set to debut at In4mation and then rolling out to selected skate stores world wide. Featured is the Pro Ox, Cons low-cut, premium white leather shredder. There’s no doubt it’s a clean looking shoe and expect more colourways in to emerge in the coming months. At this rate Timberland will be making skate shoes by Christmas!
