Hi guys,<br />
Dear <strong>Vans</strong> Family,<br />
Here we are again with a Peanuts Colab!<br />
And it’s not the last one!<br />
Because in HO17 we will do 2 amazing <strong>Vans</strong> X Peanuts launches with<br />
these cool characters!<br />
To focus on the first one, to follow the hype created by our amazing<br />
marketing story that we launched on the 2nd of June 2017 in all our<br />
<strong>Vans</strong> Stores, on the 6th of October 2017 the 2nd drop will be live.<br />
Peanuts Lovers will have many styles perfectly tailored for them with a<br />
darker feel and you will see that the Peanuts prints are offered in all the<br />
iconic <strong>Vans</strong> silhouettes.<br />
The October delivery of <strong>Vans</strong> x Peanuts footwear will include many<br />
styles that fuse <strong>Vans</strong> Classic icon silhouettes with vintage comic details.<br />
A modern take on monochromatic footwear can be seen on the Sk8-Hi<br />
and Old Skool both which feature solid canvas and sidewall with allover<br />
Charlie Brown and Snoopy illustrations. <strong>Vans</strong> channels the Sunday<br />
Funnies with a comic strip-inspired Authentic that showcases scenes<br />
from some of the Peanuts most memorable moments.<br />
The Peanuts gang and their dance party can be found on the Authentic<br />
and quarter panels of the Old Skool.<br />
The many faces of Snoopy make their way onto the Checkerboard Slip-<br />
On, an icon of <strong>Vans</strong>’ heritage.<br />
Everlasting love and friendship is showcased across the Classic Slip-On<br />
with Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Woodstock featured in a loving<br />
embrace. If you look closely, you’ll see “best friends” embossed within<br />
the toe bumper.<br />
A capsule collection of <strong>Vans</strong> x Peanuts apparel and accessories will also<br />
be available in men’s and women’s size runs. The men’s, women’s and<br />
boys collection matches back to the footwear patterns, so you will be<br />
able to channel Charlie Brown and Snoopy with a selection of tees,<br />
hats, backpacks and socks.<br />

Are you ready for the Hard Launch on October the 6th?<br />
12 footwear,7 apparel and 10 accessories options will be on your shelves<br />
and on your tables soon!<br />
Just to refresh your mind, some Peanuts history for you:<br />
Charles Schulz debuted his first-ever Peanuts comic strip on October 2nd,<br />
1950, in nine newspapers around America. 65 years and nearly 18,000<br />
strips later, the simple wisdom of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy and the<br />
whole gang has touched millions of readers and will touch thousands of<br />
<strong>Vans</strong> consumers too.<br />
Charlie might be a fictional comic book character but he’s got a lot to say<br />
and gives us a lot to think about: Charlie’s just a little socially awkward<br />
kid who has some shifty friends, but, when you think about it, lots of what<br />
he says is damn close to wise! I mean, sure, he might be a bit gloomy at<br />
times but Charlie’s words are definitely a fun read.<br />
Hi guys,<br />
Just a head’s up for you, with the June Peanuts drop our Top 5 doors were<br />
London Carnaby, Birmingham, Barcellona Portaferrisa, London Camden,<br />
Roma Via del Corso.<br />
All together sold around 2100 uts, so Guys let’s beat this record!<br />

The Women collection is characterised by a ton sur ton Snoopy print,<br />
which makes the graphics more refined and interesting. The backhit<br />
on the fleece is very cool and very big, but still makes the piece<br />
commercial and easy to wear. Your favourite black crew fleece, but<br />
better!<br />
The Realm is a Realm Plus, so in addition to the collection’s black<br />
Snoopy print, also you get increased internal storage space, a pc<br />

Dear <strong>Vans</strong> Family,<br />
This is the first time I write something personal<br />
to other people.<br />
But…… you are not ”other people” to me You<br />
are my VANS family.<br />
It might seem strange to feel part of a family<br />
even if you don’t know every single member of<br />
it. But this is how it is.<br />
<strong>Vans</strong> spirit belongs to us and let us feel like a<br />
real Family.<br />
An old proverb says:<br />
IF YOU WANT A YEAR OF PROSPERITY YOU GROWHT THE<br />
WHEAT. IF YOU WANT AN HUNDRED YEAR OF PROSPERITY YOU<br />
GROWHT THE PEOPLE.<br />
Finally, here in VANS I feel like I am someone!<br />
And not just a number, I am Manuela and my<br />
commitment is to let all my team members feel<br />
the same .<br />
Let’s go back to Mallorca - RLS 2017. What is<br />
my gift , my learning from there?<br />
Richness at heart.<br />
30
After my last work experience before <strong>Vans</strong> I felt really disappointed<br />
by the people who surrounded me professionally.<br />
I had a really difficult moment in my family ending with the loss of<br />
an essential person for me.<br />
In my annual interview I received negative feedback saying I had<br />
not grown up as a manager and the store had resented it….<br />
Well , in that moment I felt like a number. Sad enough.<br />
RLS 2017 taught me who I want to be, for myself and for my family.<br />
I want to grow my team and to grow myself with them. With<br />
passion and enthusiasm. Because only together we can.<br />
I can’t wait to see you all again at RLS 2018 , hopefully very soon.<br />
<br />
With love<br />
Manuela<br />

Hello Guys,<br />
I just want to bring your attention to<br />
Jake: our NEW 20hour. Jake is only on his<br />
5th week in store and has made so much<br />
positive progress its inspiring! Last<br />
week, Jake made a sale of £400! 2x<br />
Womens jackets, 2x Womens hoodies and<br />
a Mens Torrey Coach jacket. This was<br />
particularly impressive due to there being<br />
an obvious language barrier between Jake<br />
and his customers, and Jake overcome<br />
that with adjusting his behaviour and body<br />
language to make the customer feel<br />
confident! To top off Jakes first month, he<br />
also won the UPT bingo with the sales of<br />
Shoes & Socks, T-Shirt & Jeans, Same<br />
Colourway/Different Item, Jacket & T-<br />
Shirt, Backpack & Hat, Shoes & Nikwax,<br />
Hat & Sunglasses, MTE and Nikwax and<br />
Jumper& Hat.<br />
Top effort, and a great<br />
attitude!!<br />
