Collective Licensing International is set to re-launch the skate brand Vision Street Wear (VSW) for the Back-To-School season as an exclusive at Finish Line August 1st.

“Partnering with a leading athletic retailer like Finish Line ensures that our brand reaches our core consumers looking for the perfect combination of performance and style,” said Bruce Pettet, President and CEO of Collective Licensing International. “Finish Line is the ideal venue to launch Vision Street Wear; they have the same passion for high-quality, premium brands. Vision will continue to set itself apart from the small handful of truly authentic skate brands by embracing, in everything it does, the creative and independent attitude of skate and street culture and by teaming with quality retailers like Finish Line.” The new VSW collection can be viewed at www.visionstreetwear.com and www.finishline.com.

“Finish Line is always seeking fresh and innovative brands that our customers desire, and once we saw the direction and design we wanted to act upon it in a big way,” said Sam Sato, Chief Merchandise Officer at Finish Line. “Collective Licensing International has developed a line of new and throwback Vision Street Wear styles that will debut nationwide at 150 select Finish Line locations on August 1, 2009.”

As part of the launch, Spin Magazine partnered with Vision Street Wear and City Publicity on an exclusive Malibu Beach Bash celebrating VSW past and present August 2nd during XGames 15. Check out the award-winning website www.visionstreetwear.com for photos and highlights.
