I gotta say the sneaker head in me kind of lives the black SK8-Hi. Oh and there are orange elements for all you orange accent loving watch fans https://hypebeast.com/2018/10/vans-...stagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ig_bio
If they don’t want to they are Velcro on and can be removed or changed out I don’t see a problem though. Never even thought of it negatively til you mentioned it. They aren’t for everyone The SK8-hi’s don’t have it on the heel. That’s the version I bought so I’m safe
Yeah they went on sale at most places at midnight. Or 0:01 CET. Coutie.com, HBX.com, footlocker UK, etc... I actually ended up grabbing two pairs of the Black SK8-hi because I haven’t worn vans in so long, I wasn’t sure my size. An 11.5 and a 12. Should arrive next week.
I invite you to my local Walmart, good sir. If you think wearing velcro flag on good looking shoes is suspect and borderline disrespectful wait till you see the star and stripe and other flag related stuff (special mention for thongs and other undergarments) proudly being sold. Why would anyone EVER buy (and wear) flag underwear? Beyond me. But thats Murica for ya!
I see full availability in Polish Vans store (vans.pl). Needles to say, I also ordered pair of black with Apollo 11 batch
FYI the white low-top were released in limited number and the sneaker flippers gobbled them up. You can buy them but its a seller market and the flippers are in full effect. Fortunately the resale isn't bad at all on these. Retail was $85 and they are currently going for $150 give or take. https://stockx.com/vans-old-skool-nasa-space-voyager-true-white
I totally agree. They really did well with construction and materials used. Especially at that price point Definitely a hardier shoe than regular SK8-hi. I’m loving mine too!!! Will post some pictures soon.
