Under The Palms

I feel you, man. I just got mine in, and I didn't think it would bug as much as it is. Haha. Honestly, though, the worst part, for me, is that I don't know why they couldn't include two damn patches.

Supposedly it was a factory mistake, but add that to the already increased $120 price, and now Syndicate isn't looking so good. I guess this is a risk they took, to put the shoes to market, instead of try and resolve the missing patch issue? I mean, honestly, with the recent flood of Syndicates, holding out on this release would've been a good thing. For them, and for our wallets! The anticipation would've even built up more hype for them, which is what they seem to want now days. Maybe they thought it was just a shitty lil' patch that nobody would give 2 fucks about. Maybe they wanted us to talk about it! Who knows. They are selling really well, which I guess is all they should care about in the end, right? At least the corporate level folks at Vans would agree with that mentality. Not so sure about Syndicate! I hope they try to cross all their "t"'s and dot their "i"'s in the future. That is all.

let me know

damn. 40 bucks.... you werent playing with that ocd

my only other option was buy 2 pairs to get 2 patches. i couldn't fuck with that.

Haha, I ended up doing that cuz I found a sweet deal on a pair... haha However, if I decide to sell the extra, it means I might have to part with the patch... Then again, it's such a neutral colorway that having an extra pair might end up alright. So many decisions all cuz of this factory mishap or whatever they want to say it is! haha

Don't worry, I am gonna shoplift $40 of Syndicate merchandise to even things up
4 pairs of laces or one set of insoles. we'll see how it works out.

LoL Daang!
