Amazing Erwin. Amazing.

Looking really good Erwin! I wish I could stomach keeping the burgandy because the set I had would of looked good with my sets. Someday I'll grab them all again (maybe..) and have a really bad ass group shot. But for now I'm working on my 003 set.

I am missing:
003 slip on's/ black authentic's
005 slip on's and sk8 hi's
006 slip on's and sk8 hi's

If anyone has these for trade they should let me know so I can complete the OG sets! I'll give back to the community by snapping a large shot of all of them

I'm curious, how much would a pair of DS white 003's in size 9 go for?

[JesseC]

^ I PM'd you man. They'd fetch a high price but it does depend on the buyer.

[JesseC]

HEY EVERYONE THERE IS A SIZE 11 003 GOLDEN ROD AUTHENTIC USED IN THE MARKET PLACE IN GREAT SHAPE, H/O IS $180 DON'T SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lostsoul125]

all i want are some navy/burgundy eras in a sz 9 or 9.5...DAMNIT

[LV_1790]

^^^^^
same thing here. but i want the sk8 hi in sz 9

[JesseC]

What's the demand like nowadays for Wtaps Sk8 Mid's? I'd definitely trade a DS pair in either color to someone who has any DS/vvNDS Wtaps 003's or 005 Rad's in 9. maybe 9.5.

[DJGuamstyles]

Wow, Rads?! Those just came up in the Beckett's for Vans Syndicate price guide, huh?! I'd have laughed a few years ago if you even talked about those and 003 W)Taps in the same sentence! I want the SE racings, myself. Passed 'em up plenty of times at Active. Same with that damn black & white Syndicate Starter cap.

[rocketgoof]

Rads > all Wtaps! haha

[id10tech]

That Red/Blue colorway is awesome. never really paid attention to them until you mentioned the pick-up. WISH I WAS A SIZE 9!!!!

[akamedaniel]

Rads > all Wtaps! haha

@DJGuamstyles The quality is so similar! Rad's are incredible, and they're soles and insoles are top notch. I have two mongoose ones and a pair of the skyway (red/blue) now, and I have decided to stock up on them every chance I get for personal use. I did it with the Wtaps Sk8 Mids. I'll have 8 total this coming week kekeke. And I found more Rad's somewhere, so I'll be on my merry way to having those supplied. They're highly collectable, very neat, and very well done on all the schemes, not to mention the awesome pad sets they come with. I found a vnds pair of 12's in the blue/brown for $20 shipped for a homie, and they included the checkered laces! (which is what makes them comprable to the white/black Wtaps 003 Authentic's IMO, that collage look across the feet where the laces are just looks too dope to me). That cap..

@Kyle, I KNOW. do you feel like the insoles are squishier and thicker than all the rest? Cause it seems that way to me haha.

@Billy, I would reccomend you snag em when you can. I know you'll absolutely love them. 8's are so difficult though : /

[id10tech]

I passed on the Blue Mids a while back and slap myself for it.
