The Other Side Of The Pillow Selection Vintage
The Other Side Of The Pillow Selection Vintage
Read these Wise Words by Henry talking about the Orange Converse and the 'Death of the Trainer'(Sneaker to some)
'Although i am vans devotee to the core, for reasons of design & quality in addition to the styling, i can thus justify this converse, re converse. like vans, production of converse ceased in the usa in the mid 90's henceforth contributing in my opinion to the lessening of the sneaker & the anticipated death of the trainer.
unfounded patriotism aside, it is in fact the US derived methods of vulcanised production which were lost. this is the method of bonding the uppers to the outsole in huge ovens whereby it converts rubber into more durable materials with a multiplicity of vulcanisation effects. as such, superior mechanical properties were the result, important for flexing movements of the rubber article, elasticity, strength and aging properties. & after the dogtown crew became enamored with the benefits of vulcanized vans for skating.... the rest is history.
as such, original converse skidgrips embody both the design & styling characteristics allowing them still to attain, as the tag reads, leadership through american technology'.

Shop Review: The Other Side Of The Pillow
Shop Review: The Other Side Of The Pillow
Zone7style went to visit the shop on Friday and we were more than pleasantly surprised in fact I think 'awe struck' would be a more appropriate description of how we felt as soon as we walked through the door
Once inside we were greeted by a visual onslaught of rare and collectable products from a fridge containing a large collection of Vintage Disney Vans shoes to a cabinet with Rare Silhouette Sunglasses.
We can honestly say this is the largest collection of Vintage Vans shoes we've ever seen in one place at one time, Which alone is a good enough reason for you to visit the shop. We don't want to give too much away as you'll need to go there in person to find out what else they have in store
It is with great pleasure that we present to you, Henry and Maurizio a recognition of the highest order for services in Vintage, You have a achieved a standard of excellence and for that Zone7style salutes you
