upside down like a motherf^cker

Just picked these guys up. Pretty out of character for me but I figured I'd give em a try. Basically a vans take on the roshe run. These are insanely comfortable and as light as a pair of socks. The contour is a bit more slim and straight than a pair of nikes too.

it's impossible to go wrong with a pair of slip on vans. always a slam dunk.

Think I'm gonna get some navy old skool's again. Haven't owned any Vans since the early 90's
-
with vans these days i will pretty much only get the vans pro skate stuff because of the removable insoles. much more comfortable. right now i think they have a ray barbee signature old skool in grey. it's pretty bad ass.

Thanks RBG

I've owned a pair of checker slip ons since I was like six. Not the same pair
can't go wrong with the slip ons. Got my first pair with my first christian hosoi board. -

So, I got a very special package in the mail today from a talented young lady out of Chicago (well she's from Cali, but goes to school with my brother in Chicago). She is the girl behind Farmtown Denim and Leather and has been honing her skills at making leather and denim goods over the past few years since my
Little bro got her to grab a pair of raws while on vacation a few years ago.Stories aside, here is what I had her create for me:
She announced that she was going to indigo dye some shoes (inspiration from Andrew of 3sixteen) and figured since the 3:16 guys did chucks, she wouldn't step on their turf, and decided to do some Vans (more of her Cali roots anyways).
When I heard, I knew I had to get a pair of my favorite shoes of all time done - the Sk8-Hi.
Here is the result:
Dipped for a total of 8 times
Love how even the "leather" and rubber areas soaked up some color (sure it will slough off very quickly)
Better not wear these on my white carpet as the sole had some indigo stick as well
She threw in this cool extra - might I add what cool Packaging this is - and yes, that is a hand indigo dyed strand of yarn hiding the butcher paper together:
What was inside
Overall, I can't believe how awesome these are -
I'm sure other people have done this or will inevitably do this as well, but I'm happy "thinking" that I'm the only person with this super deep, super unstable 8 dip indigo dyed Vans sk8-HisHere is a link to her etsy - and she does custom work as well http://www.etsy.com/shop/farmtowndenim#

Very cool dude!

Thanks man! They are pretty awesome - wearing them right now. Now sure how long the indigo will hold onto the canvas, but she had a pair of classics she dipped only 3 times and the color has lasted a long time even in the snowy chicago winter.
