A vintage pack indeed, check out the Reebok Classic Leather Vintage “Suede Pack” and you’ll agree. Do you see a bit of New Balance in these? I do. Red, blue, and green are the colors chosen for this pack. The suede is appropriately distressed to give it that vintage look and so is the nylon branding tag.

A white midsole, tonal laces, and gum soles gel well with each color. This year, Reebok will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Classic Leather line. And these kicks celebrate this with 30th Anniversary written on the footpad. Wonder what else Swizz Beatz has planned for us in these early months of the new year.

The Vans OTW Alomar “Basic” Pack consists of four different renderings of the Alomar and together these four cool colorways constitute the Basic pack.

The uppers on these renderings of the Alomar are primarily canvas. Pig suede and leather accents complete the appearance of the upper. The blue, red, and green pieces rest on a white midsole and have white shoelaces threaded through tonal eyelets. The black piece stands out as being different, it’s an all-black masterpiece.

Very little branding and mesh lining are other features worth mentioning here. I like the green ones? What about you?

The Vans OTW “Running Red Pack” that debuts soon consists of a pair of classic silhouettes from its Off the Wall collection. The two kicks in question are the low-top Ludlow and mid-top Piercy. Both are colored red and carry an appeal of running shoes of yore. The uppers carry a premium suede and nylon construction with white laces being threaded through tonal eyelets.

The classic Vans waffle sole completes the look. Check the images, if you’re a fan of minimum detailing and clean lines then these are for you.

My mouth dropped as soon as I saw this custom. The snake skin colors and texture on these will for sure make these shoes the perfect accent to any outfit. JBF FTW!
