you & i both thought we'd seen the last of the style #36 feature however the vansWORLDtour posed a MAJOR threat & has delivered a bunch more pairs!
the question is now thus....

thrashed (cured right outsole)
US11/UK10-10.5

obviously thrashed, these were submit to a short-lived but intensive skate session. natural stance ollie blowouts to the left & significant rounding to the front bumpers. they remain sound structurally however with minimal footbed damage at the toe & fiber-fill loss in the tongue. the right gum waffle outsole has cured however. this is rare to see & the solidified rubber may be prone to cracking over time. the midsole is unaffected! priced accordingly in this rarest of size & model. wear at own risk!

 i often hear negative opinions resenting the current status of vans as a fashion brand. in fact the van doren rubber company began as a lifestyle brand offering canvas casuals for the entire family & only later did skaters adopt their shoes (& not the other way round). it was fortuitous how it happened. not through marketing or business guile but through flexible production of affordable & design-driven footwear. what i feel is important now is reinforcing why exactly the brand is 'cool'. that rich cultural foundation that the brand is built upon & the family values at their core
 ....that & the arsenal of core skate shoes which defined their legacy through the 70s, 80s & 90s!!
.... & lets not forget about bicylcle motocross! if you look at any race, vert, street or freestyle event over a 3 decade + period, not only were vans 1st in bmx.... but on the majority of occasion 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... ad infinitum
