Vans has absolutely killed it with patterned prints in 2012 and on the eve of the holiday best known for its costumes and decorations, they’ve come through with another style that’ll help you navigate your way through a haunted house. The Vans Era and Slip-On both adopt glow-in-the-dark makeups that give these classic black lowtops some new life, and while the brand’s classic checkerboard pattern always finds plenty of loving homes, the tarsal structure on one of the Slip-Ons is a step ahead. There are also a few styles for kids featuring spiders, robots and/or bats, so let us know which gives you goosebumps after seeing all of them below and grab yours today straight from Vans.

Vans beat every other sneaker brand to the boat shoe, and though Michael Jordan and Tinker Hatfield might have something to say about it, they were the first to embrace wingtip styling on their classics as well. Off the Wall has been embellishing their styles with brogue perforations for years now, and the latest effort broadens the base with a couple of new silhouettes in use. The Vans California Era ‘Brogue’ was established early in the FA12 season and gets a new all-red leather getup to coincide with the release of black Slip-Ons and Switchbacks. These are expected in stores next month and you can see more photos below, then be sure to check back with Sneaker News for all the latest vans drops.

Sneakerheads have long recognized Tokyo as one of the world’s key centers of influence, and now this new trio from the brand most singularly associated with California, USA shines light on a couple of other Japanese cities as well. The Vans “City Pack” brings together four-colored corduroy looks on the Vans Slip-On (Sendai), Era (Hakata) and Chukka Boot (Tokyo), each blocked in a similar asymmetrical style. Each pair’s insoles and box note their city along with the Vans’ classic ‘Red Tab’-ish fabric tags, and you can see them all after the jump below (which might be the only time, given the limited overseas availability).

The original name for flecked woven Scottish fabrics was intended to be ‘tweel’, but a London merchant who misread the promo materials (a handwritten letter), started selling the stuff as ‘tweed’ after a nearby river. There’s no such confusion as to who is the world’s leading supplier, though, as The Harris Tweed Authority has stamped their signature orb on some of the world’s finest loomwork since 1911. They’ve been doing quite a few sneaker collaborations on this side of that century of service, including teamups with brands like Nike Sportswear, Converse, A Bathing Ape, and now a brand who’s done plenty of their own woolen designs in recent years. The Beauty & Youth x Vans ‘Harris Tweed’ Pack features one pair each of the Authentic and Slip-On lowtops, each offering its own take on asymmetrical placement of the signature herringbones and houndstooths. These are expected in stores later this month, so be sure to check back with Sneaker News after you’ve had a chance to see them in detail below.

Paris’ Kenzo has come through with some of the more unique prints we’ve seen all season, including everything from lizard scales and dress shirt stripes to flowers and grapes, all taken from this year’s runway styles. The latest push patterns to another new level, as we see marble applied in two different ways in addition to a moth print that might have you guessing it’s just another feline print. The Kenzo x Vans Slip-On gets black marble for men and white for women, with these switched for the ’tiled’ Authentics. Both ‘Moth’ Authentics are done in mens sizes but just as versatile as any cheetah or leopard print in those colors, and all six are available now from select retailers like Hunting and Collecting.

Warfare is known to initiate conversations and cross-cultural pollination between combatants, but we’ve never seen a sneaker design hint at this phenomenon qutie like the new Off the Wall design pictured above. The Vans Slip-On in its LP form from the California collection isn’t as ‘Low Profile’ as the ‘Lo Pro’ edition, nor was it really meant to be hidden away, as the unique blend of World War II USMC jungle camouflage and an espadrille-like woven jute sole sidewall offer a novel mix of European influences. Have a look at that unique style after the jump and look for these at Vans California retailers.
