Welcome lil' homie! Like Daniel said, you chose a bold shoe for your foray into the limited side of Vans! I need to get those still. Collecting Vans doesn't necessarily mean you'll need to break the bank either, because there's tons of super limited, awesome quality releases, that are in the sub $70 range, such as the recent Vault x Engineered Garments collection. These are low-key, only available at like 4 or 5 locations (all but one of them being in Japan!). If you're looking to build your collection without pissing off your parents, then I suggest going that route, BUT you'll need their credit card to make the purchases most of the time, unless you get them to create a Paypal account for you. I still don't see any Syndicates in your pic, but you can pick up a lot of great older models, and probably also for a steal price. Stick around, and we'll help you out bro.

What up young one! Welcome. Glad to see you made a profile. Grab a chair, some coffe and browse through the archive topics. A lot of knowledge and history in past collabs. A great way to understand some of the quality and design aspects vans have created. A good way to start is try to make it a goal to have one new pair a month, or every other month.

Also don't feel pressured into trying to cop every release that comes out cause others can. Great thing about Vans is its individuality and style. And like all of us here we have our own Likes/Dislikes about every pair of Vans

And again Welcome

BNIB and shipped for $50 I guess it shocked me. I like the yellow checkered ones but I can't find them in my size

$50 shipped is cool, and about where these are selling for anyways. That's the beauty of Vans. You'll sometimes still find pretty good deals, unlike NikeSB and Jordan. By the way, the "RAD" pack has dropped in several variations over the years, including a Syndicate pack. Don't get them all mixed up, because some are worth more than others. Don't want you to overpay.

Image Haven't really added a lot in quantity to my collection over the last couple months, but I got my first syndicate! Love those mongoose rads. I'd like some in the other two color ways too. If you guys see any let me know (10.5-11). I just ordered the vans x primitive era 46 pro and it should be here tomorrow. ImageImageImage
