The Vans Chukka Low “Land & Sea” have recently started hitting retailers, and it looks like they’re not alone. 4 new colorways are out now at select stores for the Holiday season, including HUF.

Grey, black, pumpkin orange and denim blue are all dropping with this release. All four use a white vulcanized sole and laces, with suede and canvas uppers. The black pair separates itself slightly by using yellow contrast stitching on the heel panel and side label.

Vans Vault gave the Era silhouette a minimal upgrade to create the Era Piping. These classics are covered in black suede. The white piping provides curvaceous trails across the upper thereby accentuating the sneaker’s assembly. Also, the piping provides a more gradual segue for the white/black/white contrast starting with the vulcanized sole up through the upper and down into the inner lining.

These aren’t neckbreakers but the Era boasts its own self-assurance as an American classic since 1976. The Vans Vault Era Piping is now available at Bows & Arrows.

Pairing up with Vans Vault, Taka Hayashi has designed up this Velocita LX, dressing up the simple Vans style with luxury leather and multiple details throughout. Hayashi’s coming up strong in the sneaker and skate communities, and you may remember his name from another pair he did for Vans in the No Quarter LX.

Black leather makes up the uppers one these, vaguely borrowing designs from classic Vans designs like the Era and Authentic. The underside of the leather is dark tan, which appears on the liner, tongue accent and edges of the layered panels. The heel folds over, and the underside is designed with multiple colors.

The last skate shoe we saw covered in cow hair was Stefan Janoski’s Twitter-leaked signature. Now, Vans has done the same for these two classics for their Cow Hair Pack. Unlike the Nikes though, Vans kept it in the barnyard with a multicolor cowhide.

This pack is yet another release from Vans for the Holiday 2009 season. The pack consists of the Sk8 Hi and Slip-On silhouettes which are smothered in brown-and-white cow hair. Both pairs are currently available at select retailers.

R. Crumb and Vans Vault have collaborated on an Authentic One Piece LX. R. Crumb, an American illustrator and founder of Underground Comix, is recognized for his satirical images depicting mainstream American society.

Powder blue serves as the blank canvas for R. Crumb’ s illustrations that cover the heel and mid panel, leaving the toe box bare. Co-labeling and more of R.Crumb’s imagery can be found on the shoe box.

These kicks are now available at Wish for a price of $94.

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.
