The Olive Green one is my favorite. I have an old army jacket that I wanted to use for material on a pair of Old Skools, but I have no clue as to where to start!

Ooooh, so they're a darker green. Vans really needs to take more accurate pictures of these. The ones at their website show that it's a faded army green.

The blue foxing stripe is totally screwing up that nearly perfect colorway! Should've just went with a normal ass black one...SMH.

Can't go wrong with the Paisley Eras, hands down the best CA of the season.

@Bill, agreed. The blue accent down graded it for me, would have looked better with the black.

You can always try painting it black, haha. Does anyone know what paint they use?

That's what i was thinking too. And is it just me or is the toe box a little too long?

I thought that, too. Mostly on the olive pair, though. The denim pair looks right.
