ohh mama those vans carrolls, i was hoping vans would come out with more colorways after that boys of summer abomination
bryan herman’s company is really called “hours is yours”? i thought it was called hours and that was the tagline, but the official name is that lame pun?
I distinctly remember Herm and Ellington teaming up on this shoe project at the very beginning and something tells me they had some creative differences because now Erik's doing shit with HRS (Human Recreational Services but obv still reads like Hours) and Herm's doing Hours is Yours. fucking strange.
Good point! I recall that as well, but I think Herman always wanted to do actual skate shoes with his creative footwear business venture (whatever it looked like to him back then). Whereas, Ellington wanted to bridge the gap from skate to formal footwear via the loafer stuff before dipping backin with Li Ning.
I wonder who had the whole HRS/Hours idea first. Don't remember if that was ever posted on here
Lucien Clarke & Rory Milanes were involved as well, and I'm pretty sure they dipped right after it launched.
From Sept. 2018: "HRS is a new label by Erik Ellington and Dennis Martin... Human Recreational Services is supported by a team of professional skateboarders including Lucien Clarke, Rory Milanes, Keith Hardy, and Bryan Herman. These individuals will be the face of HRS and contribute creatively to the concept."
If you need a reason they probably dipped, it's likely because Lucien got on LV. Plus they're charging over $300 for cheap Dominican-made shoes. There isn't a single photo of Lucien and Rory on their insta. Just Ali Boulala.
