Summer is near. Thank God that Carhartt teamed up with the famous Vans for this coming summer. So what? Its street wear line can now continue to flourish the retailers’ racks. Carhartt was known for its work wear for several decades and it’s still a baby on the street wear culture. It has been successful especially in Europe for its collaborative efforts as well as individual releases. This time, another team-up can be seen with much creativity which is simply perfect for the hot season. The Vans Authentic which is the typical simple and sleek silhouette will have a new set of materials. The two companies chose the combination of suede and ripstop nylon for its soon-to-be release sneaker. Other features include Vans and Carhartt branding which proudly displays Carhartt’s Dearborn Michigan roots. So when will you expect this pair-up to hit the stores? The three colorways will hit selected retailers in August.
