As the influx of all-over-print patterns begins to merge with the trends towards heritage garb, Vans California is taking the initiative this Fall/Winter 2012 with their latest “Birds” Authentic CA Pack. Appropriately titled, the “birds” moniker is applied literally as both colorways feature an understated blue or hunter green all-over bird motif. Furthering the backwoods vibe, the uppers are constructed from washed canvas and are complemented with antique eyelet metal details. A nice transition silhouette between summer and the colder months, the medium-weight Authentic CA pack will be available from select Vans California stockists soon.  Written by Alex Maeland / Photography: Hypebeast
