Part of a pack pitting designs against each other from the east coast, west coast, and Europe, this Forty-Four’s collaborator is still a mystery, but what we do know is that it’s an east coast representative.  Not too long ago the very first Forty-Four was released in collaboration with Crooks & Castles.  As Vans has seen growth into non-skate and non-surf areas, so it has pumped out a sneaker with more design in mind.  The innovative cupsole features a slimmer profile than a Half Cab or a Sk8 Hi.  The upper is made up of a combination of suede, ripstop canvas, and wool in a fresh colorway.  Being that this sneaker represents the east coast, it will only be available at retailers along the east coast, as well as at Buyskateshoes.com.   via CtotheJL
