Vans Authentic RAD

Post by Crimson Ghost »

Proving that there is indeed a second chance to leave a first impression, the makers behind the 1986 cult classic BMX film Rad have once again teamed up with Vans for a footwear collection that will expose the movement to an all-new audience. This time around, the two sides re-worked the timeless Authentic in three simple styles with the film's logo wrapped around the foxing tape. Available in red, blue and black, each shoe is complemented by white eyelets, contrast stitching and soles. Pick up your pair today over at Vans.

Just saw these the other day! Gonna have to pick up each color. Already my first favorite pair of 2012!

It's pretty funny that they keep collabbing with the makers of a cult-classic movie that can hardly be found on dvd even... Love it!

^ Haha, maybe Vans is trying to change that.

I want the black ones so bad. I kind of with that the had a red foxing stripe, just so that they looks a little louder with red (which is never bad when it's the accent on a shoe), but I still love how they look with the black stripe.

I love my Mongoose Rad's to pieces!
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.

I looked at the shoe planogram thing for the stores around me and it showed em even for the c-stores around me, they still haven't showed up or gotten any word on em:( I was hoping to be picky about these cuz of they are gr I figured I'd wanna check em out in person to make sure I got the good pairs lol, has anyone got these yet? Are they gr? Or was the footbed upgraded? I love em either way, lmk, any info would be appreciated.... Where's that dude music city?? He seems to know stuff..

I can at least confirm that the footbeds are non-padded, but I'm not sure if they're a "Vans Store" GR, or like a Core skate shop GR.

Those are def a GR.. saw them in the flesh already.. Pretty decent.. another nice color that should be given a 2nd look would be the Gossamer Green Authentics.

I'm here, they are a GR and have the same footbed that you would get in any ol' pair of GR Authentics.

I'm still holding off on these a little longer to see what kind of deals might pop up... Looking for a site I can get free shipping and a bit of a discount since I'm gonna be snagging all 3. haha But I might just bite the bullet and order 'em just to make sure I can get 'em. #pennypinchin'

Hahaha, that was actually the first time I've ever done that. I guess it's an easy way to sum things up, eh? haha

They should have already shipped to any account that ordered them. Not too many accounts in the FL area are getting them.
