off the side wall


























vintage vans style #98 slip-on
2-tone white/blue/white canvas
scene AH blu/wh checkerboard
made in usa circa 1979
used
US4/UK3.5



this is our 1st slip-on post in almost a year, however mark my words style #98 is making a comeback! perhaps in honour of steve van doren whom graces our shores this weekend for the dowtown showdown, my thoughts go back to the origins of the brand & their haydays of the 70s & 80s. of course the slip-on played a pivotal role in vans evolution. not many original pairs like this are still around however there remains still a mutliplicity of designs as yet untapped by todays vans vfc. disappointingly they will not clome close to the styling, comfort & durability of original made in usa vans.

PHASE II thankyou


we would like to thank those who joined us last thursday night for a magic evening of our phase II 2nd birthday celebrations.
although recent events have somewhat overshadowed the aftermath, we nontheless showed the togetherness this community is built upon & the spirit that will see us rebuild & recover.

business as usual?


with eternal gratitude we are open for business as usual despite the recent turmoil very close to home. thanx for all the well-wishes & to all those looking over our street & neighbours. at such a time of political/social/financial unrest it's difficult to justify certain pursuits however we hope we can continue to bring some joy into your lives. we ask you however to re-mind yourself what really matters in life & to be give thanks for the haves.... & the have-nots. safe keeping
