STOCK HUNTING 101; DATE my VANS offthewallsite challenge

late last year we previewed a challenge posed by offthewallsite. here endeth the lessen



online pioneers of vans from the modern era & the next generation of connoisseurs, offthewallsite , recently got their hands on a fresh pair of made in usa printed canvas vans. they admitted to knowing little about said shoes & appealed to their fans to shed light. we took this as a personal challenge & welcome this opportunity to share some original heat. 
the vans in question indeed feature all the hallmarks of superior made in usa construction, shape & materials & respective quality, comfort & durability. tis true there aint much info available for reference which is why we strive to become that authority. as such, what we have right here is an era with asymmetrical 'night eyes' printed canvas & black rubber scene.... or for those more tech inclined, aka 95a-p52-7006RB.
originating not from the early 80's but in fact from the early 90's, the pre-92 inner vinyl heelpad is gone in favour of the more modern footbed. the print however is certainly 'picasso-esque' as described. available in 3 colourawys, 'night eyes' is 1 of many fresh prints from the vans back catalogue which seemingly went under the RADar. in no way referring to the 90's erotic thriller of the same name, in our opinion the guys at otws for sure found the best colourway, bonded to the 1990's signature black rubber scene. after all what better way to illuminate the print & shed light on such a score. thanx 4 sharing. you certainly got a discerning (night) eye(s).
