Vanssyndicatemrcartoon1

Here’s the latest from the Vans Syndicate line featuring Los Angeles based tatoo artist Mr. Cartoon.
Mr. Cartoon’s beginnings as a graffiti artist was somewhat of a natural
progression to the tatoo scene and his styles and influences through
hip hop have also yielded various other forms of art and graphic
design. The spring 2007 line from Vans Syndicate follows a Southern
Cali theme that follows the relationship of Latino’s and skateboarding
as well as the experimentation and use of new and interesting
materials. This particular Sk8-Hi features industrial strength canvas
representing both the black and blue portions of the sneaker alongside
embroidered designs from Mr. Cartoon himself.

Here’s an intersting look at a Nike Air Max 90 Trail Hybrid sample.
It seems to take more then just cues from the iconic Air Max 90 with
characteristics from the Humara and the Spiridon (both trail inspired
shoes). Also in plain view is a big Zoom Air embroidery which should
bode well for comfort. Stay tuned for more details on this.
