the OG disneys are nice for spring and summer but even then I can't rock prints everyday - let alone cartoon prints.
The Hi's are subdued and classy and the slips are classic california

I really only like the OG models.

I really like where this Originals series is going.
They seem to always dish out something good.

heads up for those that are still on the hunt:

Hanonshop.com set to release on August 17th 00:01 BST

will keep hanon in mind lol

Honestly dont think I'll be doubling up. These seem to hold up good for heel drag.

Undefeated Santa Monica and Proper still had the Chukkas and Slip Ons if anyone still needs those.

I wear 9 in authentics, eras, and chukkas. I'm pretty sure they all fit the same way. So just order your regular Vans size I guess.

Got my blue sk8-hi's in today. St. Alfred is fast!

Haven't tried 'em on yet, so I can't attest to the comfort level yet. The outside materials are great. The suede is nice and I really like the fabric used on the side panels.

However, the pleather lining is a disappointment. I can understand using a different material since the pigskin lining can rule out some customers. But why use a GR material? We're paying Vault prices still. There's gotta be some sort of awesome material they could've found, especially in keeping with the military theme. Feels like a weird, sloppy decision.

Overall, I'm happy with them of course. They look great and they're a perfect everyday shoe. Definitely will be steady in my rotation in the fall especially.

It really has a PU liner?

Thank you so much. Got a pair for myself and a pair for my good friend. I really appreciate it!

Haha where did you get this from what he said? I don't think they have one man. It's the Vault OG insole, leather half on the heel section, and canvas on the forefoot.

since undefeated looks like they are going to screw me is there anywhere else that hasn't dropped these vans yet for retail? i know end will drop soon but for 100.

The linings alright. But the prices for vaults now is around $100+.

This probably has something to do with the vault "originals" series rather then just vault itself.

Man, I hate it when shops over-sell their inventory (assuming that's how they screwed you). You're a little late to the party now to try and find pairs, but understandably since you thought you had your pair(s) secured.

Not to mention upgrading the materials would probly negate the concept of that vault "original" feel and look
