Re: [OFFICIAL] Fake Vans Report!

Who wants to verify?! I call FAKES! Due to the colors (duh), although rumors are that other colors are coming soon, the packaging has the old label (iphone 4G which is how the first ones came), oh and also the price of $15 shipped! Oh, and he says they fit snug, and he has over 300 for sale !
I would like to say they are fakes. Reason being is, last week I spoke to my district manager about this subject. She said that vans will be releasing this soon to come like you said billy. But not near having like 300 on stand by to sell for that price. Maybe this dude had a copy of the machine used to make these for himself. Either way it sounds shady to me. Im going to support buying products from vans and company' that been working with vans for years.

And about the toe bumper issue. Like when it looks like it has a nose. That happens when the waffle sole is a smaller size than the shoe is being put on... When they rap the vulcanize around that's what happens
Size 10-10.5
Looking for : sk8 hi or era OG Palm Leaf in black or white

Yeah, some of my pairs have that tapered sole look. Obviously they ran out of the proper sized waffle soles, so they slapped a smaller one on, hehe. Or does the rubber shrink that much when it gets fused together?

Yeah that pissed me off so much. I reported the buyer. Nobody who knows/respects the brand would EVER use photo's of fakes.
Looking to buy:
.Blends Sk8 Hi in black, 8-9.5 would be accepted. If anyone here has a pair I will trade serious heat for them.
.007 Grime Slip On's (Claw, not the Skull version)
Will pay healthy prices for these. Shoot me a PM.

I mean, the shoes look legit to me, but the sticker does throw them off. Perhaps he just stuck it on there?

Same to me, but I also noticed that the box label is missing a thing or two. Pretty strange. I compared it to a box listed by thecoolshoeshine and one that I own, and there's a long code missig under the picture of the model

BINGO! Mystery solved, fake. Also notice the production date is a year off.

^This is exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the picture support! To be honest, they look off to me. Not a bad type of off, but definitely not how I remember all six of the pairs I had at one time. These are very good fakes man, it scares the shit out of me. There's already action in with the bidding too.

Damn good find guys! Yeah these copies had all the makings of an authentic pair, but because WE know that Syndicates don't come with the red Vans sticker, it caused us to look further. If that sticker wasn't there, these would just be written off as legit. Sorry to say, but this pair is going to disappear into the sneakersphere, and one of you may be the buyer of them one day.
