Extra Padding, Gel insoles, "W" on the other side of the "Vans" tag… This set is awesome.

flipped tongue tag

^ whoah....had a pair of hosoi bash vulcs with flipped tongue tag also....i always dig the fun inconsistencies like that....(major ones, not so much)...wonder what that worker was thinking about when they did that...I always assume that they cant be looking at the piece in any way to sew it upside down and not catch it at all...am half expecting to see a finger attached!

Yeah I was noticing that Brant. I experienced a lot of rudeness over the phone and I've been seeing a lot of deception. That deception's fun when it's for a surprise release or maybe to withold information about the product for a surprise element. But when it's all just for an extra buck, then it's a lot different. But from a shop owner point of view, I understand the frustration with the bulk buyers. I like the limiting one per cutomer per style, but I hate seeing mark ups like $125 for the Era's. Just thought to myself "come on guys". It's sad to see such a cool release for the fans turn into a money-thirsty trade game.

Glad I got mine though. I 'm stoked to seem em all come in next week.

First pair of new era wtaps i couldn't get my hands on. either these shoes are super hyped, or production numbers are super low.

Yeah the New Era WTaps are hard to get a hold of. Mostly cause everyone's into camp caps now days. They should try getting with Brixton, on that Fedora steez, or Starter, since everyone's copping snapbacks these days. New Era makes them too, but I say stick to your bread and butter, and don't follow the trends. Your loyalists will come back around, eventually.

OH DAMN THAT FLIPPED TONGUE TAGG ISSS LEGIT!!! I just checked mine and was disappointed that it wasn't like that (((((

haha as soon as I saw those on HB I came here to see if you could pull strings!!
