And the toe cap feels really burly. too bad there kinda expensive (80$) but i think theyll last long enough to make it worth it. they are also kinda heavy like twice as heavy as another pair of vans i have, i think that they reinforced the sole. |
It didn't mention if they stiffened up the sole or anything.
|
thats a cool color combo. i'd wear it!
|
this was released a long time ago but there was no word on the actual release date of the shoes. i'm assuming they're limited release and not going to be available in too many stores. have yet to see them in person. i'd like to actually see them before buying online for $80
|
They are limited........Well so Vans tells us. You have to find a Vans "Vault" dealer. Not just any store that carries Vans is a vault dealer. Hence they only distribute Vault releases to Vault account holders. I'm pretty sure they've done nothing to the shoe it's just a regular ass era with a seat fanny pack.
|
are these even being sold online?
|
they've had them at DQM for like 2 months now. i like the grey color way and the 3M and all, but they don't seem too different than any other eras. my shoes have a few weeks of life in them still, but once they're done i might pick a pair of these up if there are any left in my size.

Those laces ruin em.
|
yah they are by far the worst part. same color laces on the whites? i like the grey/black enough to buy em, but black or white laces would do them good
|
I run MKS L clips on size 10 Vans. These shoes would equal laces interference, and the rubber piping is wearing down for me, not my actual canvas upper. The piping is worn down on the inner sides where my straps touch my shoes, and the cage is leaving two spots on the toe of my left shoe.
Looks like pure marketing to me. Laceless with a ballistic nylon reinforcement and stronger piping...... now we're talkin'. |
Wick Wick Wack! In the late 80's early 90's Vans made a shoe which myself and other sponsored riders(limited to teamriders only) loved because of it's ultra stiff sole. Vans discontinued production of the shoe due to BMX taking on the clipless pedal. Steve Van Doren had talked about re-releasing that very shoe to the masses but it was scrapped after Steve sold the company to Vanity Fair(Yes the Magazine) in 2004. Since the acquisition Vans Shoes have become nothing more than fashion before function crap!(Nice attempt VF at tapping the fixed fad w/o doing some research first) :thumb:
