CANOE PR PRESS DAY. VANS & PUMA

The canoe PR press day was one of my favourite as it had a lot of streetwear. I was unable to photograph all of the brands so i focused mostly on the new Puma and Vans variations. However it was interesting to see the new Evisu, Supremebeing and Bench collections. 

When it comes to Evisu the first thing that comes to mind are the over branded jeans with a 'million and one' pockets and the oversized emblem. However the AW13 collection has definitely redeemed itself. The creative director of Diesel moved over to Evisu and has completely changed the brand for the better. I believe this is going to rocket the brand into the new street wear scene and join brands such as Penfiled, Carhartt, Stussy and Supreme. 

Vans have released a wide range of new styles, prints and materials. They have a pair that would suit everyones taste as they have many variations and styles such as their classic authentic, Vulcanized and their Hi Skate. My favourite in the collection are the Vans Old skool variation. The released it in primary colour suede. But i've also seen a faux snake print pair in a mustard and petrol blue colour which i must get! 
Vans were also creative and have incorporated cartoons into their styles for kids. They made a 'Phineas and Ferb' pair which i love as i'm a big kid and love cartoons. They also have broadened their childrens and and babys shoes and have a cute 'Dad, mum and baby' zebra collection. Not exaclty my style but someone else may love it. The Mens style is in the form of a Chukka boot and the ladies style being a slipper/ loafer style van. 

I'm also very happy with what puma has done with their collection. They've experimented with materials and prints and even released new models. One in particular that looks like a Nike Huarache. 
My favourites are the High top pair with leopard print pony hair. and also the classic pumas with subtle leopard print.
