hola amigos!

Post by juano »

Hey Fam! What's up?

I'm an argentine guy travelling arouund the globe, at the moment I'm staying in Mexico, chilling in the caribe.
I promise to upload some photos of my Vans arsenal here, but I left lot of pairs in my country.
Right now I have in my backpack 3 pairs of Alomar, yes they're taking like 1/2 of my backpack, but I love them.

Ok, now I have a problem and maybe you can give me a hand:

- In Mexico the local Market of Vans is really a shame, in Argentina with lot more of distance, devaluation and custom scum is 300% easier to get what you want, incredible. Here we have some multibrands retailers who have 3 models of old school in four sizes, I'm US12.5 / US13 so is IMPOSSIBLE for me.
- I tried to buy in online shops like karmaloop, bodega store, DQM, etc but I find a really annoying new policy, they don't ship Vans outside US :x :x

So, do you know where I can get:

Vans Vault 2013 Spring/Summer Sk8-Hi Zip LX Bronze or Mostaza, US13

Vans Vault OG Sk8-Hi LX Palm Leaf size Man 6.5 Woman 8 (for my girl ;) )

Thanks!
Juano.

I wish i could help you out man! But welcome to the site, maybe you could consider a proxy service, or if you know anyone in the US who can buy them and ship them too you, it would be extra though.

There used to be a shop called Shelter, in Mexico City, but their website is dead, and Google can't find anything recent. I bought a pair of Nike SB "Gore-Tex aka Medicom 5" Dunks from them back in the day. Here is their old address:

Colima 134 Roma Norte, Cuauhtémoc Ciudad de México, Distrito Federal, Mexico‎

great info man, but I called and nothing, seems to be closed :|


As TreatnHerRight says, maybe the best way is to find someone with a big heart who after receiving my money, buy them back to me 8-)
Thanks guys for the kind welcome, I'll be looking the forum daily!

I've written El Nierika some weeks ago and still trying to get the models in my size, yes, they seems to be the typical mexican lazy shop.

Good news! :P Bodega Store is shipping to Mexico, so my two pairs of Vault are coming!
