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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
