The boot is actually part of the Vans Vault Holiday 2008 collection. It’s called Avalanche to support the winter theme and plus that it’s a hiking boot even though it’s far to nice to use for hiking. The boot comes with a Pendleton wool upper and toe box protection. It is now available at Flauge. [Highsnobiety]

The Legend Pack from Vans and Steve Caballero is one of the more interesting designs from Vans we have seen this year. The dragon print and scale pattern comes from one of his legendary skate decks, and he applies them liberally to these three pairs of kicks. The pack includes his signature shoe, the Half Cab, and also the Sk8 Hi and Era Pro. [NiceKicks]
