Posted on March 5, 2014 1:16 pm

Check out all of the new SS14 Vans which have just arrived. Here is an overview and more details…

More new shoes from Vans have arrived and are available to buy right now from our online store. Ray Barbee has inspired two shoes in this drop, the first is the Era 46 Pro. Colours used are derived from his old Powell graphic, the black suede upper is set off with grey accents. Cushioning is provided by Ultracush HD sockliners and a Duracap™ toe bumper alongside ollie underlays cover durability. We have an Old Skool in Snake Red/Gold. This has a full suede red upper set off by a contrasting snake scale finished side stripe. Era Pro’s have been getting some attention of late, our newest pair with a Perforated Tobacco suede upper look great. These have an improved fit because of a Co-molded PU1 footbed, are more durable than ever and offer the best board feel.

We received a second Old Skool in Suede Tiger Camo. These have a tiger camo print on the sidewalls peaking out behind a black suede upper. Our second Ray Barbee inspired shoe is the Old Skool 92 Pro which is a mid grey colourway. These limited edition shoes have a grey suede upper with perforated panels and contrast stitching throughout finished with a red Vans heel tab. There is a Rowley Pro in a Blackout colourway. This stealthy all black finish complements the original Rowley shoe, cushioning is provided by ImpactSorb® gel heel pads. For a narrower profile there is the Rowley Pro Lite. This is a single-wrap PRO VULC with a stitchless construction. It uses UltraCush lite cushioning and has an original waffle sole. Our newest AV Native American comes in Python Black. These have a python print screened on the canvas sidewalls with a suede upper. They offer the usual AV cushioning and durability.

We also have an Old Skool in Snake Frost Grey. Like the red ones, these have a snake scale finish on the side stripe aboard a stylish grey suede upper. All of these shoes are available online and from our Covent Garden store. We’ll leave you with a video celebrating 20 years of Ray Barbee riding for Vans…
