my bad homie! that i couldn't sell you my pairs for retail. i would help you out and sell them to you for retail but i had to bust a mission for these... sorry if its out of your budget range, but if u was local it could've different for you but you not so shipping is included which $130 shipped isn't a come up for me... by the way i didn't get it for retail the spot i went to charged $84.99 which is $15 over retail and after taxes was like $90 -___-

i could help you out can tell you that you can try circle-A in sanjo or just call some syndicate account shops or any local shops, the store i went to sold em on black Friday due to their shipment being late so maybe there are stores out there who got their shipment late as well. but yeah if u don't find any u can gladly hit me up or look at eBay.
peace.
They released them on black Friday for way above retail? Some kind of twisted black Friday "sale" alright. Its unfortunate shops pull that on people. We received ours almost two weeks before anyone else in the country and I was happy to sell them for retail...probably could have gotten twice that if I was being shady like that...maybe vans can send me a cookie or gold star for my window eh. Obviously kidding but I wonder if shops understand how much the vans community talks...we will all know which spots are treating customers badly/ripping people off etc.

The homie from up there checked it out and he said they have a 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 13. also if u get em today they will give you 20% off which would be like $60 a pair. goodluck, peace.

Yeah, I can't thank you enough Brant, for keeping it real bro. I seriously hope everyone else here will support Silo, and try to cop any releases from them, first. They do get Nike SBs as well, if you still cop an occasional pair. Also, utilize him to try and find older stuff you are looking for. He can find anything from Vans, if it's still out there. Put your money where it may benefit you with future releases. If you nickel and dime every single release, then you sometimes lose out on your pair, and end up paying more anyways. Get a side hustle, like the Rack pickups or something, to balance it out.

On a side note, I was just on Primitive's site, and they got their Syndicates a little late. Last week, on the 24th actually. No Navy mids though. Seems like so many shops underestimated the colorway, but I didn't expect Primitive to not order them. Oh well, maybe Skorone, and a few others who still are looking, will be able to find their pairs there.

I got the blue mids for retail and was lucky to find em.... just couldn't afford to get 2 pairs then.
i got the black pair as soon as they dropped, but could not locate a navy pair.
I was fortunate enough to get the navy pair, for retail and the burgundy authentics for $52 i wouldnt mind the black pair to complete the set but ehhh i have more then enough black shoes. :lol: (as most of us do) :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Yeah, silo is a great shop and he looked for a navy pair for me but could'nt get them. thanks a million dude, wish you could sell me some store stickers or something

appreciate the kind words guys, and the support of small business.

Navy was not allocated to a lot of shops, so it is definitely the rarer of the two colorways, in the us at least.

LOL Primitive was the spot that i went to on black friday, yeah they got their shipment late and sold them on black friday for $84.99..., no black friday sale on top of it wat so ever which was lame..... but yeah they had both authentic colorways and both sk8 mids colorways, yes they had the navy colorway, and i think they had a full size run 8-13 even halfs. no one bought em' only a few people knew about it even there was like 100 people there... im surprise i pulled a few pairs out that day... hella hectic...

wolf it was 12blk, 8burg if that helps you....just an fyi not everyone is always allocated the same thing...i dont quite yet understand the rhyme/reason, but im guessing it was a similar structure for others on this release as well...

New pickups. Got the last two 8.5, and there's still plenty of pairs left. PM if you want me to do pickup. But, I charge $120 shipped. 8-)

Got my black sk8-mid's and black authentics today! The sk8-mid's are a half size larger than what I usually wear, but seem to fit about the same as some of my syndicate releases that fit big in my normal size anyway. Shouldn't be much of a problem, but if anybody has a DS 10 or 9.5 that they'd want to trade for the 10.5, let me know!

Is it dumb that I kinda want to put purple, orange, or green laces in these? haha
