In recent memory, Vans has been in the zone and pushing out various collaborations with the likes of NOAH, Dime and Taka Hayashi. However, it’s looking to put a brief pause on team-ups by reverting our attention back to its inline category to reveal a duo of Vans Authentic LX and Style 24 colorways that are engineered with denim materials.The Authentic LX variation is the more playfully styled of the bunch as it comes graced with multi-toned uppers. Denim fabrics split between a deep indigo that cascades over the toe boxes and laces, a muted blue for the lateral sides and a faded gray for the medials. Additionally, brighter blue tops off the tongues while a small panel of black appears just underneath the Vans tabs and on the lateral eyelets. Midsoles are executed with a sail-like outer and come accessorized with a red stripe.The Style 24 makeup in this capsule adheres to a more minimalistic approach. High-cut uppers are devised with an dark navy blue denim, while accents are shown off through the white exposed stitchings and the black Vans tabs and eyelets. Rubber toe caps and midsole units are identically styled with an ivory hue.Both pairs are releasing in select stores like Shop Nice Kicks on October 9. The Authentic LX will cost $115 USD and the Style 24 will retail for $125 USD.Elsewhere in footwear, Vans Vault team just dropped a cow-printed Anaheim Factory Authentic 44 DX.

While the New Balance 327 has only been on the market since March 2020 when it debuted alongside Casablanca, it quickly took the sneaker market by storm. It’s become a key player for the brand’s lifestyle footwear division, and it has added two coloways to its repertoire — the “Mushroom/Aluminum” and “Aspen/White” installments.The “Mushroom/Aluminum” offering effectively blends neutral and earthy tones together. The lateral side is dialed to a muted gray and comes neighbored by oversized “N” logos that are dripped in white while the medial side and tongues are decorated with an angelic finish. Overlays that sit on the throat, heels and toe boxes are coated with the “Mushroom” hue, and a pop of blue shows face on the tongue and insole branding. Midsoles are given a vintage-y cream skin while the waffle soles are wrapped in a solid black.Its release sibling carries identical bottom pieces, white medial panels, tongue/insole hits of blue and angelic “N” logos on the lateral side, but deviate with a louder accenting hue. Suede overlays and lateral sections take a more vivid route as they are both dipped in a bold “Aspen” hue.Both pairs are available right now via New Balance for $100 USD a pop.Previously, New Balance and Run the Boroughs revealed a London Marathon-Inspired MiUK 991 colorway.
