Oiled leather, raw denim, and leather lace—worn well in the Wild West and forever cool in American culture. The Nice Kicks x Vans Vault “The Duel” collection harkens back to cowboy lore and larger than life heroes, pulling from the childhood memories of Nice Kicks founder and publisher Matt Halfhill.

“This set features my two favorite Vans models and is inspired by childhood heroes and popular culture – cowboys, the Wild West and the independent spirit associated with those figures,” says Matt Halfhill. “The oiled leather and heel cap represent my first pair of boots, as well as the saddle and reins on a horse. The red Vans Vault logo on the back is a tribute to both the Nice Kicks logo and the Texas flag. The raw denim and antique brass further underscore the Western influence of the collaboration.”

The Nice Kicks x Vans Vault “The Duel” Era LX and Sk8-Hi will release exclusively at the Nice Kicks Shop in Austin, TX on Friday, September 14th at midnight for a price of $110 and $125, respectively. An online release at ShopNiceKicks.com will follow the next day at Noon CST. Stay tuned for more information on the release party event.

Vintage is the proper word to describe this Nike Air Force 180 Mid “Suns” sneaker. The silhouette made popular by Charles Barkley, takes on the old school Pheonix Suns uniform colors with a black base, white check, and purple and orange gradient, speckled midsole. Purple and orange also grace the tongue accents, and purple covers in the inner lining of the high built sneaker. Contact thecoolshoeshine for all inquiries concerning this unworn sample.

Set to release on September 8, the Miami Hurricane inspired sneaker is super limited and only available to those who receive an invitation from the SOLEFLY camp.
