Japanese Vans

Post by chrishatesyoujk »

Anyone know of a good site to pick up Japanese Vans besides Rautken and Abc mart? I was about to pick up some japanese Sk8-his off of eBay but they disappeared whomp whomp

Yeah Chris, the only place to get them is on eBay. I don't think there's a way to purchase off of Rakuten system, or ABC-Mart's website. For some reason, Japan doesn't like to do online business with us! I don't understand it. There's a huge streetwear and sneaker community over there, and we are like totally cut off from them. They use Yahoo! auctions too, not eBay for the most part. Sucks. Probably some government embargo shit, or something.

They were a Wtaps exclusive, so only available at NBHD stores and Black Flag. As for the other Japanese Vans, just use a proxy service like Spe or From Japan or Sutocorp.
