easy pass.
love the boxes though.

I think the fit is fixed from the old skools of waaay back, and this shoe is a little thinner than the kessler os. i would buy tts for the old skool, and im on the fence about the native...i think i could personally go 1/2 size down...(but my foot is narrow)

I'm digging both of these the more and more i handle them/see them on the shelf here..the old skool really is a perfect summer shoe.

yeah you can tell with the construction of the upper on the OS in your display pic that it is modeled for the "Made In USA" Old Skool with the flimsy upper and overall shape of the wave and different parts of the shoe. So insanely excited to get this one! (even more than my Supreme Zebras)

you've got some pretty jealous dudes of your 12's already wolf.

[DJGuamstyles]

Yup, and I'm glad you ordered 11.5s for me as well! Old Skools, I definitely want 11.5s. Wolfs and I can both be happy, hehe. BTW, this Friday okay for my order? Payday .

[silokinesis]

pm'ed you!

are you talking about people coming into the shop and finding you sold the 12?

[silokinesis]

I should know better! Yeah lots of requests for your size... its always a guessing game and changes w/ every release.(I probably had 15+ calls today for the new wood grain janoski in an 11.5 exclusively....random.)

[lookdown]

^ I'm a bit confuse about the sizing.

So If I wear size 8.5 in Old Skool's, do I size up or size down?

And they haven't drop yet at Supreme LA.

[silokinesis]

if you're an 8.5 in a vans classic old skool and they are snug to normal length wise, thats a tough one...i'd do a 9.0...unless you have a little extra wiggle room in the 8.5 classic, then id go tts.

Personally i can do an 8.5 in classic old skool, but would have to do a 9.0 in these. (but compared to http://www.vanssyndicate.com/004/oldskool.php old skools, those ran suuuper small, i could wear a 9.5 in those) thats a ramble, but just saying these are a lot truer fit to a classic, just w/ syndicate insole...they are not screwy small and tight like those 004's.)

Some of these guys on the board may be able to compare and contrast to cali old skools, or supreme old skools once they cop a pair for more accurate fit, but those are the only shoes i have on hand to compare to.
