Vans X in4ma+ion half cabs

so here in HI i spent the entire day shopping around waikiki. We stepped into nike town to check out some kicks -- pretty disappointed the guy told us to check out a store call in4mation. We spent an hour finding this place. We stepped into a store that is own by them called Aloha Army by In4mation. Sick stuff. They offered a waide variety of RVCA (pronounced roo-cah), stussy, etc and tons of sick callabo pieces they made. They carried the Boba fett's that francis mentioned. Super friendly, the chillen girl we spoke to was wild about the clothing they sold and told us a bunch of shit -- where to go, what buses to take etc. for all the sick lifestyle stores. After an hour of bussing and walking we find one of the official in4mation stores.

The featured shoe in the store was this one to the left. Looks like a regular skate shoe that's made of denim right? its pretty sick. But no -- it's design is a callabo of Vans X In4mation that is like no other i've ever heard of. I pushed these shoes on my bro so hard because, as big of a shoe head he wants to be, he ruins the sneaks he rocks. But with this shoe it's all good... it gets better with wear and tear. Literally.

The shoe was designed for skate boarders so that when you skate in them, the denim wears and tears to reveal a subtle but sick hound's tooth pattern just under the denim fabric. We were told these shoes were limited to sales from the store so for a hefty price of $110 USD and a flight ticket to Hawaii these shoes only get better with wear. Pretty sick sneaker -- in fact, it's kinda like the Nudie of Sneakers.

P.s. Francis, you would love hawaii shopping so much -- save up buddy, everything is fucking expensive here.

Oh I already know I'd love shopping there. I have never been though.

That IN4ma+ion store is one of the store I really really want to hit up.

But yo while you're down there if you see an Nike SB bag like the ones I posted on I don't fuck with purses lemme know.
