We live in a collaborative world, and there's certainly no shortage of brands out there who have the potential to link up and make some magic.

While we're on the subject, Palace and Vans recently posted a teaser of a new shoe collab that's in the works and as always, there's a variety of opinions out there stemming from all directions. But first things first—take a look:

What are your thoughts? Personally, I think they look okay, but that could very well be because they pretty much just look like Eras with a Palace hit on the heel. I've worn Eras for years, skated plenty of them... they're fine. They're also usually pretty easy on the wallet, though! I'm not sure what these will be retailing for, but "collab" shoes typically come with a mark up. Hey... who knows?

Regardless, there are just as many people in the comments who are stoked and asking when they drop as there are, well, folks who aren't. There are definitely some die hard Palace fans out there, and Palace—just as a brand—is obviously no stranger to collabs. They've done a lot... and they will do a lot more. Again, no problem. But some do tend to make more sense than others.

No news on release dates (or really anything else) as of now, but keep your eyes peeled and we'll do the same. In the meantime, consider this a conversation starter. And in fairness, the caption is very Palace-esque and simply says:

• SOME

• PALACE

• VANS

• BASICALLY

They aren't lying! Hate 'em or love 'em, they'll be dropping soon.
