Vans Vault Taka Hayashi

I dunno, every detail is spot-on, right down to the stitching being in all the same places. I'd guess it's just a different part of the pattern? Or maybe even an early sample or something.

It's gotta be a sample.. notice how all the colors are flipped, that couldn't have come from the same sheet.

its from the same sheet… Its just from the other side of the sheet. Thats why the colors are opposite. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Didn't SamColt make a video on this?

He wears size 9 and his 003 Wtaps set is all samples so I bet that you're right Kyle.

Yeah every single pair I've seen has had the white arrow, that green arrow is sketchy.. sorry bro

What do you mean aka?

I was trying to say it seems that his pair is fake, but now it seems to be leaning more towards a unique sample.

[wolfstrice09]

I'm almost positive its not a sample. Why would it come with the box? I think its just a unique mess up at the factory. Its simply the same cloth just flipped to the opposite side. Explains how the colors are so perfectly opposite.

Sounds really plausible man. In that case, what luck! I think those look a lot cooler.

[shaztech]

something is wrong with this pair!? Have i missed these c.w?



This is my green pair to compare.

yeap yeap! this is the samples erwin... i'm trying to get a pair of these too, but the one I found, pretty beat at the heel tab portion.... opposite colorways from the actual release.

[erwin]

everything solved! I thought this must be samples they look to good to be fake. Congrats on these they are unique!

Anyone know the fit of the newer Taka's:
Trek Hi & Lo's?
Engineer Boots?

any help would be appreciated

[vulc'n]

engineers fit small, 1/2 size at least. i had to get an 8, whereas i usually go for a 7 or 7.5.
trek lo's fit true to size.
i dont' have trek hi's.

[MF HectoOR]

hmmm this is getting me iffy. i'm a true 10 and i could probably swing a 9.5 or a 10.5

[id10tech]

Someone help convince me NOT to buy these.



I'm not a fan of the style, but the details is just great on these IMO.

PRO
- Laces
- The Shin "plate" design
- Studs
- "DESTROY"

CON
- Everything else

Super sick and a dude has them BIN for $75 right now on eBay.

Dude I saw thprice, then looked at the size immediatly. I'm with you on the anti, because for some reason, you naturally want to dislike it. But once you start enjoying Vault high tops, these seem so good. I know that if I was you, I would get them. In addition to your collection, these are really look sweet, too.
