Vans is creating a competition among five well known fashion icons for the release of their new Vans Fourty-Four High, which places the West Coast (Crooks & Castles and a mystery shop) vs. the East Coast ( 5Boro of NYC, UK skater Danny Wainwright, and another mystery shop). Each sneaker features a nice blend of subtle colors and various patterns/materials with three versions equipped with ankle straps. Availability will be exclusive to each coast while the arguably the Danny Wainwright model is slated to drop this month.
