Under The Palms

Hey Guys my name is Mason and I have been collecting seriously for about 6 years. I am at around 120 pairs. It has been amazing to find this group and get some insight because there doesn't seem to be a ton of people who follow Vans. The majority of my collection is Vault. About 80 of my pairs or so (Or Taka, Kenzo, Etc.) I have some pretty incredible pairs that I have been able to find over the years. Trying to Figure out how post pictures to share the collection. Not in to High Tops so the majority of everything is Authentics, Eras, and Slipons. Happy to be here!

Awesome, welcome, can't wait to see your collection.

Welcome home man! Hehe, and I see you have a taste for the finer side of Vans. Taka Vaults are definitely as good as it gets. Sometimes they can be a lil' wild, but they are the pinnacle of the luxury side of Vans. We all love to see each and everyone's individual taste and I am eager to see what else you're sitting on!

Its going to take a while for me to take all of the pictures and upload them but here are a couple more pairs. I tried to take pics of the box so anyone who wants to know can see the style and name. If anyone wants more pics of a certain shoe let me know and I can try and put them up. Thanks for looking!

Welcome! Good collection. And yes hahaha another 12 is in.

Thanks for the response and I'm glad to be here! I took some more pics so here we go again.......This is going to take forever.

A Vault collector. Nice.

Welcome to the forum.

LMK If you ever wanna get rid of those Levi Maestro's, I'd be glad to take them off your hands

Thank for all the welcomes and I worked to hard to get those Levi's to sell them haha! I took some more photos and will be posting them in just a bit.

Alright taking a little break from silver boxes and putting up some other stuff....even though they are technically Vault at least the presentation is different!

Are the Kenzo collabs really considered Vaults?

Honestly I don't know but I doubt it. Every single Vault shoe that I have no matter what the materials has an LX next to the shoe style on the box and these clearly don't. Also they were never posted on the Vault site as far as I know. But for what they cost for an all canvas shoe they should be!

True that!

I'm still never going to support Opening Ceremony after saying they were going to take preorders on the Kenzo Grapes Authentics. They even went as far as to take down my credit card information. Then a few days after the release, I email them to ask on the status of the pre-order, and they say that they were sorry, but all the sizes sold out. THEN, a few days later a few sizes restock online, so I ordered a white 11.5. Waited for about a week or two. No shoes. No email update. I email them, and they proceed to tell me that they can't seem to find that size to ship out. I had to contact them on BOTH instances. They gave zero fucks, lol. So now I bash them to hell and back, hoping anybody that comes across my ranting, never buys from them ever again. Just doing the lords work. We need less bullshit in our lives, starting with those who think their shit don't stink!
