Vans x Supreme Old Skool S/S 2011 (Lots of pictures!)

[SlipOnFiend]

I tried a pair on today and decided against them. The materials are nice but they did away with the vault/syndicate insole and went with the bottom end GR insoles which in turn made me feel like i was swimming in a SZ10. I'd probably been able to do the 9.5 but i'm to damn old to have my feet hurting.

You know, I know that they may look like GR insoles, but they feel a bit more chusiony than the GR insoles to me. In fact, they feel a lot like the ortholite insoles (which look fairly thin and pretty much like GR insole, but are WAY more comfortable) that came in a pair of california old skools I have, and those are some of the most comfortable pair of Vans I own, even more so than the ones with the Vault/Syndicate insoles.

are the Old Skool insoles removable insoles? I got my Light Blue Carrolls thanks to Guam, and they have the removable insoles and I haven't gotten my two Old Skools from Supreme yet so just curious.

[SlipOnFiend]

No, they aren't removable.

[wolfstrice09]

dang that sucks... Not a deal breaker though

Those ortholite insoles are insanely comfortable! They're in a few of my CA releases and in the AV6's and I do think they're more comfortable than some of the removable insoles. It seems like the density and thickness of the removable insoles can vary, so it really can just depend on what kind you get... But if these are like that, then you guys shouldn't have to worry.

The Old Skool Zero's didn't have a removable insole either, but they're definitely not a GR insole either. Maybe it's like those?

^^ it was between navy & black for me.. always wanted a clean black old skool, but i thought to myself i have enough black&white pairs.. i'll go with the navy. nobody else really feeling them?? I think werkz got a navy pair too. I dig em mostly cause to me it looks like the same navy as the zero lo supreme released..

Yeah i got a pair of the navy ones, theyre gonna come in this thursday but im afraid they'll be too big since they wont have the cushioned insole. Usually rock 7.5 in regular OS. Navy was the hottest color imo but starting to feel the royal blue/orange and yellow ones as well!

Haha those were the only two that I was into.

Supreme releases start to grow on you, that's for sure, but before you know it, you're paying reseller prices, because they're all gone. Remember how the snakeskins sat, and sat, and sat? Same with the 08 premium leather mtn editions and Old Skools! Now look...one of the most sought after! I don't think these Old Skools will become that status, but we never know.

[werkz]

I know what you mean guam.. At first the snakeskins were w.e. to me and now i REALLY want them.

I'm surprised these aren't all over eBay yet. I guess that's good? Maybe there's still some left in the stores. I hope I don't jinx it.

There's a random sz11.5 Black Old Skool up on the Supreme site right now. If it was any other color, I'd buy it, but I already have a black/black pair. I want a damn Navy pair!

[wolfstrice09]

haha I thought about it to replace my Royal that was lost but it wouldnt be the same... and not right size...

[DJGuamstyles]

There's a few restocks right now, on the site:

Royal/Orange: 10.5
Navy: 9, 10.5, 11
Yellow: 8.5, 9.5
White: N/A
Black: 9, 11, 11.5, 13
Gray: 9.5, 10

[wolfstrice09]

just got my replacement shipment of the Yellow Old Skools. Materials IMO, are way cool. Makes me even more upset I didnt get the Royals (my favorites of all the colors)

Edit: BTW I'm not sure if any of you have noticed this... it looks like no one has... but on the Vans logo on the tongue it looks like they used Supreme's "S" like they do with the Syndicate "S"...
