Vault by Vans in-house designer Taka Hayashi has revealed two new releases with the famed skate brand, following up two “DIY”-themed releases from last year. The latest collaboration sees Hayashi dip into the Vans archive to give two silhouettes — the OG Style 24 LX and OG Style 47 LX — a Formula One racing-inspired rework.

For the Style 24, Hayashi has dressed the sneaker’s high-top construction in a full canvas upper which is offset with contrast piping and lace guard. The two colorways of the shoe — one in black and white and another in white and off-white — both incorporate Hayashi’s take on racing iconography, including an all-new checkerboard flag and logo-heavy team jackets.

The second silhouette in the pack, the Style 47, references the racing influence through its quilted construction designed in homage to racing suits of the 1970s. This inspiration continues to the contrasting heel stripes, while printed midsoles feature Vans’ classic checkerboard pattern as a nod to racing flags. The Style 47 comes in two colorways: “Baja Blue” with white heel stripes and “Raven” with gold stripes.

The Taka Hayashi x Vault by Vans Style 24 will release on February 26, while the Style 47 will hit the Vans web store and select retailers on March 1. 

With the summer coming, is it time to get the moody looks off? Before it's too late. Just something about the way some colors look in the summer is funny to me. I think I have been watching too many of those "No white after labor day movies".  Or maybe they have a point.

SanQuon Square
This color I have been in love with this month. I just can't get it out of the rotation. I love the way it looks on the skin.  Makes me feel mature. Which let's me know I hated this color when I was younger. 

How many pockets on the pants that you have do you actually use? I used to love the cargo pants because of this and hated them because of the same reason. Too much stuff can't weigh you down and the other side is you never know where anything at. It's always the catch 22. Let's just stick to the back ones for now. 

I like that H&M adding some new but I need just a little more too.  

 Primary Check Old Skool 

I wanna wear red, so I wear the red. I have no deep reasons behind it but it just goes. This feels like some Street Fighter color scheme.  Zangief but with clothes on. 

Great now I wanna go play Streets Of Rage 4. I'm so happy it's back. Bet you didn't see this ending coming.

Men's Atlanta Hawks Mitchell & Ness Black Big & Tall Hardwood Classics Authentic Warm-Up Full-Snap Jacket

They never were winning anything but were looking so nice while doing it. Charles Barkley really put that team on his back. He needed better. They didn't give out better. Now Shaq rides his ass to the grave about this ring that he never has. Gotta love it.

The Jason Kidd with hair era was different. He and Grant Hill was killing the league so bad that they had to give it to them both for rookie of the year. It was that hard to pick. Damn shame that Hill body went out on him. He was about to be one of the best. Ask yo parents about him.

Men's Detroit Pistons Mitchell & Ness Blue Hardwood Classics Two-Tone Snapback Hat

That's end this post right here. I think I'm about to spend too much money. Also why is the jerseys for the Pistons not for sale? Wow.
