Absolutely fake. The soles aren't the vintage style "OG" ones. As Guam said, the samples VERY early on used the OG shape and the pictures I saw months before any info dropped on these were true to that shape. I can tell the rubber quality on them is IFC, at least the foxing is, and Vault doesn't really ever use IFC, just HF and DT. All the OG vaults are DT that I've had so far.
Looking to buy:
.Blends Sk8 Hi in black, 8-9.5 would be accepted. If anyone here has a pair I will trade serious heat for them.
.007 Grime Slip On's (Claw, not the Skull version)
Will pay healthy prices for these. Shoot me a PM.

Bought some Old Skools off the bay
cause they looked legit, and were
40 bucks. They look real, but under
the hood, made in Thailand! :x

Got a pic of 'em? They still might be legit. I've gotten Vans directly from Vans that were made in Thailand.

Yeah, quite sure those are legit! There's really nothing that's pointing me in a "fake" direction. I'll check my Thailand Vans at home tonight to see what the soles say, but I'm sure you're in the clear. Fakers don't usually go to the lengths of even putting a factory stamp on the sole let alone all the other details that are spot on for Vans. Plus they look to be an older pair anyway, so they could be from the same time period I got some that were made there.

Cheers. I'd never seen a legit pair
from Thailand. The material really
looks more like pleather than the
real thing. I appreciate the input!

Anyone else notice quite a few fake Supreme Vans on eBay lately?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vans-x-Playboy- ... 4d1f944881


And not sure about these, cause this seller had some real Supremes mixed in as well. The stickers are throwing me off. I forgot what stickers these came with and mine are in storage. Anyone else care to add their input?

Did a quick google search and I guess they did come with that sticker. They looked legit to me, but I couldn't remember which sticker, either. I thought it was that white one with the Vans and Supreme logos on it, but I guess I was wrong!

I could be wrong, but this is the only release I can recall that used this square sticker. Then again I haven't bought enough Supreme collabs to be certain.
