Vans x W)taps love!

[JesseC]

thanks DJ..I thought they were 003s, someone told me they were 006s. I guess they're 005s then haha

003 = black/white with printed bones (you always know it's 003 when there's bones printed on the sole as well)
005 = navy/white
006 = black/black (think "black soles")
The there's the burgundy, or "cordovan" as Vans calls it. I believe that's the 018 or 019 release.

I secured some DS size 8.5 003 Sk8 Hi's If anyone has a size 9 they wanna trade, please hit me up.

I'm not a big W)taps fan like a lot of people in here, but I've been trying to find the 005 Era in an 11.5 for the longest time, and every other bones model/colorway seems to pop up in my size except for those 005 eras, its really starting to annoy me.

This is my reaction after seeing these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vans-Sk8-Hi-S-O ... 35bc5101b3

That sucks Daniel, a few years ago I purchased brand new navy 005 Era's for $30 at the Rack, in 11.5. Only size I found. Too bad you didn't know me then. The Era's are THE HARDEST non-003 to find as far as normal Syndicate's go. My heart goes out to you; even though I have a DS pair, I need another because the ones I have to wear are just way too beat for me. I haven't found a decent 9.5 since the DS ones I bought almost three years ago. And I had to trade DS white 003's just to get those back then! They're incredibly rare.

[akamedaniel]

At the Rack, really?! Damn, doesn't get much better than that.. but yeah those 005 eras are hard to find in general. I kick myself all the time, for not doubling up on certain pairs. I love that care free feeling, when you know you got another pair on ice.

Unfortunately that feeling is almost what it takes to get me to wear any heat of mine. I have OCD about it really bad and it stops me from wearing kicks when I can't find a double. If it's a shoe I wanna wear everyday, then I gotta have three. One on ice, one to rock that's nice, and one to shred and beat. I'm crazy man, it sucks haha. I try as hard as I can to double on almost everything I buy. when I was a child, I did in fact buy two of each toy I played with. Miserable. But the payoff is that I had so much money in old stock that I could sell someday for big money.

I hope you find those 005's. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.

Hey, does anyone have a DS 9 003 Sk8 Hi, or vvvvvNDS? I know it's a long shot but I have a DS 8.5 and I really want to trade. Trade only, or unless you have white 003's. Thanks
