Top Secret: Christian Hosoi X Vans Syndicates

I don't think I ever showed these to anyone but I got these Wtaps samples from 5yndicate a while back. These are called the "Bash" and is a new model that was introduced through the 5yndicate line a couple years back.

The shoe had a basketball shoe/old school high top skate board late 80's feel and silhouette to them but I didn't see these flying off the shelves. I personally do not think it's a bad looking shoe. They're really light weight and are actually really nice on the board with the cup sole.
Photobucket
The upcoming collaboration between Vans 5yndicate and Christian Hosoi will see the beefed up reincarnation of the "Bash". The colorways will be fresh not straying too far from Hosoi's flag of red and black and will carry out nubuck uppers and a classic Vans grippy vulcanized sole.

If the Wtaps' Bash didn't open your eyes, these will. Keep on the lookout for these because these are for sure to be a winner.

Vans Era LX Syndicate Wtaps

The Wtaps boys are back in town and back at it with another upcoming Vans Syndicate. The Wtaps X Syndicate collaborations are and never will be bad news. I felt like a secret agent taking pics of these damn things but I couldn't resist. Too good! (all the pics were taken from my phone because this shit is top secret bitches)

It looks like this time around, the Vans Era gets treated with a little premium leather in what seems to be a Dr. Marten's motif. The yellow sport stripe around the mid-sole representing the signature Dr. Marten's stitching with the classic black and maroon colorways.

They even go as far as making the "wair-air" tag on the back of the shoes as well (if you know Docs, you know this). Classy as shit. I can't wait to see the rest of the pack and for these to release. My predictions are a holiday 2010 release on these bad boys.

This Is My Town

It's been a hot minute due to some technical difficulties that is my computer. About two weeks I think. Not too much went down but I have to get caught up on some thangs!
Last week went through the ol' Dodger Stadium to see the "Doyer's" take on SD in a 4 game series. This was actually my first Dodger game and I've talked to so many people who always remember their first Dodger game and my first would never be forgotten. We rolled in style w/ our Baseline Club Box Seats w/ Preferred parking!

Dig the view from our club box seats.

Food and drinks included so we ate like kings. Not your typical run of the mill ball park food though. It was a nice touch.

Dodger Dogs for Days.....

Andre Ethier walked up to us!

The Doyer's came through with the win and I made it official as the newest addition to the Dodger fam. I definitely had an unforgettable time. A big shout out to LA for the royal treatment.

Gino's

Photobucket
You know anything that has to with Gino is going to be stylish. The guy reeks it. The OG Nike Sb rider gets some with an upcoming perforated blazer sb in the first Gino dunk colorways (obsidian/midnight). Notice the midsole is not the typical blazer midsole but the midsole from the zoom harbor sb. The lighthouse in the back to representing Long Island.
Photobucket

The blazer would've sufficed but Nike needed to step it up a notch and do a Gino dunk. The new strapless dunk mids inspired by the black perforated dunk dubbed as the Gino II. Darkness everyone, darkness.
