Vans Syndicate has released two versions of the Mountain Edition in a Mid cut for this Holiday 2009 season. Each shoe receives a distinctive “S” designation as they possess a Scotchguard lining. One pair is a weathered tan while the other sports a clean black. Other features include: a nylon and leather upper, an embossed leather PU insole, and an Outlast sockliner that’s aids in thermo-regulation.

How do these stack up against the four textile pairs we saw earlier this week? Each pair is available at Vans Syndicate retailers such as Silo. Peep the punch for more photos.

Along with the multiple Chukka Boots and Del Barco LX’s that have released this fall/winter season, Vans has just released two colorways of the Switchback model. Both colorways are now available now at select retailers such as Proper.

Both pairs feature a 100% wool-textured base, a boot lacing construction and a white vulcanized rubber sole. One pair possesses a dark green color scheme with brown shoelaces, while the other one owns a brown-colored base combined with red shoelaces. As stated earlier, both Switchbacks are now at Proper.

This past summer, we spotted the first collaboration ever processed on the Chukka Boot between Realtree, Bodega and Vans. The majority of you who commented like the makeup design. For its second joint effort on the Chukka Boot, Vans hooked up with Japanese brand Deluxe for a nice design.

First off, this is second collaboration between both sides (last year they created a Sk8-Hi together). It possesses a unique pairing of navy leather (side panels) and suede (toe area, heel panel) with brown leather accents on the heel. To finish it off, this Chukka Boot is complimented with a white vulcanized rubber sole. What are your thoughts on this joint effort?

You can cop these at Vans Vault retailers. Check the flip for an individual picture of each colorway.

For Spring 2010, Vans Vault will drop a new silhouette on us with this Mountain Edition, of which the initial design was done with textile and leather manufacturer Knoll. Dedicated to the world of mountain biking, these are a similar shape to the Buffalo Boot LX, but with a forefoot strap.

All four pairs in the initial pack utilize a black tongue and white vulcanized sole, though the uppers used include purple, teal, olive and black. A tan leather patch appears on the side of the shoe, with a pink Vans “mountain” logo. At first glance, the label makes the new sneaker look like a higher version of the Half Cab White Label Series we saw awhile back. Plan on grabbing these next year?

Many of you have been pleased with the upcoming fall/winter releases from Vans including the Del Barco LX and the Switchback. In addition, Vans has just unleashed a new colorway of the Chukka Boot.

This particular Chukka Boot is obviously different from the previous pairs seeing that it does not contain any shades of brown, olive green or black (the usual fall/winter colors). Instead, this Chukka Boot features a 100% vapor blue base combined with a vulcanized rubber sole and shoelaces of the same color. It is now available at Vans’s online store for $60.

Who says winter has to mean boots and brown sneakers? Vans is looking to brighten things up with their “Neon Pack” of Authentics, dropping in three very loud colorways.

Vans always sit on white vulcanized soles it seems, and these continue the trend, matching up with neon variations of blue, yellow and orange. All three pairs include matching color laces and white laces, giving at least one option for one of the more minimalist sneakers ever.
