Some of them have been put ut for sale on the Sole Collector Forums here (sz 6-8.5) here (sz 9-10) and here (us 11-12). Others are available on demand, you can find them at Flickr.com/ZBox.
Prices have been reduced.
We have 3 new models: Vans Authentic "Emerald" (us 9), Keds Surfer Mens Navy (us 9), Converse All Star Basketball (us 12), all deadstock and of course made in the U.S.A.

Vans Off The Wall

May 10, 2009 | Posted by Paul @ Z-Box | Labels: book, history, off the wall, vans, video

What started out as a brand making shoes for surfers and skaters in SoCal soon became a global brand decking out extreme sports players and fans of the culture. It’s been more than thirty years since Vans were picked up by boys of Dogtown in the seventies, and the brand is publishing a tell-all book which documents the brand’s history, growth and most importantly, success.

This is the first book from Vans and it will be narrating a multi-generational story of Vans’ community with anecdotes from important players for Vans since the brand was founded in 1966. The book also features stunning photography from top notch action photographers such as Bryce Kanights, Grant Brittain and Trevor Graces. The photography documents Cali cool with energetic visual layout design, making it a great coffee table book for those who are into Vans and the culture it represents. The book is now up for pre-order on Amazon and will be available for delivery on Jun 1.
