Brilliant ideas should be celebrated: especially if the idea is about shoes, and the celebration involves a party. The big idea we're talking about is a collaboration between two names that are virtually synonymous with laid-back, Southern California style—Stussy and Vans. The offspring doesn't look that much like either one of its parents: perhaps "urbane" is a recessive gene? The Bailey is an oxford with brogue detailing (check it out, it's an S, as in Stussy), and it's available in black patent and a natural shade. Big style for a measly $65. Naturally, celebration ensued. We're going to celebrate on July 1, when the shoe is available in Stussy stores and online at vans.com.
