5150Marley decided to stop lurking and post something...

Post by 5150marley »

Been lurking on the OTWS forum for a bit.... figured it's time to post some stuff.

Been wearing Vans since the late 70's... and I wish I had my 1st pair still.

Here are some shots of my collection.... was bored today and decided to take some pics.

Always looking for new stuff.... BTW I am a 8.5 Mens size. PM me some pictures if you got anything you think I would like.

Very nice right there! I don't recall seeing pee chee folder covers, mainly cause all the kids who thought they were cool, just folded them in half, and stuffed them in their back pocket at my school. I, on the other hand, kept all my papers neat, inside my Trapper Keeper :evil:.
