I'm surprised on the quality of these. Super Tuf!

Got them on eBay - BIN.

Yeah id10tech...in the beginning, people slept hard on those, then a few seasons later most shops sent them back to Vans for credit, and the demand went up. The soles are a bit hard, but I guess not much harder than a standard vulc Vans shoe.

Valley Village Val Surf had been sitting on those for years, both colors, I think they finally got rid of them a couple months back.

I will see what I have archived guys...the last run I snagged was mainly smaller sizes, all the way down to a 7.0....but am always keeping my ear to the ground on random returns or restocks.

There are more random dudes in my town that own these than probably any other syndicate release i've ever sold. Guys that hunt and like camo, military guys, bullet manufacturers, etc...well ----maybe thats not so random, its people that like guns and like to shoot things!!! Just plain out people that were impressed with the quality / build. We always do well with the defcon releases. from a vans / skate standpoint they definitely are a little stiff / tougher break in period, but i think that just speaks to the durability.

Brant, look at the F13 syndicate newspaper for an archived look at the Defcon releases. Then read the article about the collabs and pay close attention to the last paragraph and what the future holds for Defcon & Syndicate.

Guam I know the guy you bought those from... Was gonna text him and take a trip to his house in Eugene. Decided I needed the money for other things though! Great pickup!
