I was extremely excited when these came in the mail a few days ago. The detail on these are crazy! The drawer box has some tonal details all over the box and the dust bag is tough and straight from Carhartt material. The shoes are extremely detailed with the tongue label and insole having the Carhartt logo. These fit a little snug so I would suggest a half size up for all you looking to buy. Thanks again to the person who helped me out with these.
CCS has just dropped two pairs of No Skool Mid IIs. Both pairs have vibrant colors to go along with a great shoe. These pairs are sold exclusively at CCS so make sure to scoop these up before they are long gone. Discuss more HERE

The Off The Wll Site blog is now back and better than ever. After much deliberation and feedback, we have decided to bring back the blog. Many people have said they use it for news and can’t really find their way around the forum, so we are making sure to keep the best of both worlds. Make sure to also check the FORUM when you have time.
Thank you.

I blogged a few months about about the Jim Phillips, Beams and Vans collaboration. Now we have final pictures of what has been released. There has been 2 pairs of shoes that released. Both Sk8 His, feature Phillips art all over the side panels of the shoe, as well as the tongue. The shoes also have the Beams logo on the midsole and a clear sole. These are available at Beams right now so make sure to go pick them up.

Leftfoot Taiwan and Vans have put together a great shoe. Jahan Loh, the part-owner of Leftfoot Taiwan, has designed a Sk8 Hi. The shoe features a patent leather and suede upper. There is some great detail on this shoe with snakeskin on the heel and a clear sole. It also features a blue toe-cap midsole, a special design on the tongue and artwork on the insoles. No word when these are hitting Leftfoot, but be sure to check out the forum for up to date news.

Vans is no stranger to working with Japanese retailer, United Arrows. This time around they worked on 3 pairs of Authentics. The Authentics have a 70s feel with a white/biege colorway, a navy/light blue colorway, and a white/blue colorway. The box to these shoes is pretty cool too. If you can get your hands on these, they are out right now. Don’t sleep on these because United Arrows Vans always go fast.

Vans Vault has just dropped some premium chukkas. They feature real ostrich skin that make up a polka dot pattern. Vans took it to another level with these. They come in a black and green colorway. The retail on these bad boys is at $350. The shoes are extremely sick, but the price tag is what might be pushing some of us away.
