Colfax sANDAL
A gladiator inspired sandal utilizing the outsole and tooling of the Colfax Boot (see below) This sandal was inspired by our team riders who all loved the Colfax boot series. They wanted a sandal version for warmer months. This sandal delivers a punk rock look with a comfortable platform look and lugged soles. I tried a lot of variations with different hard-wares but ended up choosing a hook and loop closure for adjustability and fit.
Colfax Boot
An all weather Chelsea boot designed for adventure. The Colfax combines Muck boots with Chelsea boots. It has water resistant uppers with a rugged out sole. The design was inspired by our team riders needs. They wanted a boot with design cues from a classic Vans slip-on, mixed with our new surf bootie. These are perfect for those cold morning surf sessions.
Cross Strap Sandal
The Cross strap is a mix of sporty and fashion for Vans sandals. I designed this with some stretchy material hidden on the medial side so it would fit most. The branding can be loud or toned back. The straps have been done in everything from suede tiger stripes to de-bossed checkerboard. It is a really fun sandal to do colorways of.
Delridge team shoe
This shoe was designed with our surf team. It is designed for them to have a cool non traditional Vans basic. It is edgy and features a vintage logo embroidered on the quarter panel. This shoe is on a vintage Vans platform.
UltraRange Chelsea Hi
A chelsea boot ultra range. This is easy on and off. Great for traveling to cold places without needing heavy boots. Water resistant suede upper. Neoprene stretch collar.
Seahurst
A Sk8-hi inspired moccasin. Soft suede upper with stitched upper with a suede sidewall instead of rubber. The fit is so comfortable.
Decon Slide
Leather strap sandal with a molded midsole. And a Vans mini waffle rubber outsole.
Cayucas Slide
An adjustable strap sandal with padded straps. A huge seller at all Vans surf shops and Vans stores. This sandal is durable and has good traction for beach or camping adventures.
