Vans Syndicate X Carhartt 2012

[akamedaniel]

Really some shady mother fuckers! Its sad to see the power get to their heads.. got an early experience of this douchebagery with the missed calls and emails over the past 2 weeks.

The way the store is run it will be gone in a matter of a year or two. There is no one ever in the store from what I hear.

Wow @MxA , Dude, that's really low. I would have had to start flipping out after the cash only thing.

It's just the way it goes nowadays, but it's still fucked up. People who don't care about shoes tend to forget that other people do. Limts per customer should always check and management should be kept in check.

I feel sorry for u guys after reading this. But i saw mayimbe181(lives in NY) pick'd up a pair so i'm curious if he got that asshole treatment too.

Exclusive to Carhartt WIP boutiques. Only one in US is the NY shop, apparently sold out a couple days ago.

That customer service in the NY shop is totally bullshit. Dudes here even sent me the shoes via mail while they shouldn't do it since they don't have the required staff to ship shit and I received them last week.

newb to this shoe forum, hello all . . . . Nike enthusiast here!

This is my first post on the forum and I only joined to post this because I have some good info that could help some of you with this shoe.

here is my post from NikeTalk, please read the entire post before clicking on the Carhartt link:

Don't wait, these can be had now.

As of now these will not be a stateside release, these were released to Carhartt WiP stores only and basically only a Europe release as they have most Carhartt WiP stores. The only store in the states that got these were the NYC Carhartt WiP store and to my knowledge they are sold out and only had one size run of each colorway. I was also told that they were an in-store only release and not available online.

Here is my loophole as I am in Cali and have been waiting on this release . . .
I found them on the AU website here: http://www.carharttstore.com.au/Mens/Vans.aspx

It says they are taking phone orders via CC and email orders via PayPal.

I sent them an email saying I want a size 10 in the Camo colorway and they sent me an invoice. After I paid the invoice they replied saying they usually don't ship to the US and they wouldn't have sent the invoice if they had known prior but offered to ship to me if I paid the extra shipping. They sent me an extra invoice for shipping which i paid and hopefully i get the shoes.

My point is, email them your size and ask for them to send you an invoice but don't let them know you're in the US. Pay the invoice and let them send you an extra invoice for shipping.

I hope this helps someone, anyone. Good luck.

I posted this because maybe it will work for someone else. But please, if they do not let you order the shoes because of shipping don't put me on blast and ruin it for me. Don't tell them "but you let someone else order so why can't I."

Only trying to help, sorry if this info has already been posted.

Hey erwin, sorry for bugging you but you're the only one that seems to have these. How do they fit? Would you say pretty true to size or maybe a teensy on the bigger side? Thanks in advance!

No problem SlipOn that's why we here. They are tts but the insole is thick (Syndicate!) throw them out put in a thin/non insole and you can wear them.

Worn the brown one today.

@bighead_balrog: Thanks for the info man! So yeah...try it you guys.

[akamedaniel]

It's official, Brown's look the cleanest on feet!

[martyb]

Picked up the camos in 9.5 the other day from the local and theyre pretty clean cut, undecided on the brown or yellow laces though.
I'm gonna go against doing the carhartt au thing, the dudes are always willing to help out but theyve almost sold out anyway.
Being from australia its been kinda nice to pay retail on these, only the 2nd pair of syndicates I've been able to pick up without paying $100+ to someone else making some quick cash on ebay.

In saying that, my friends store Apartment also houses Carhartt WIP Brisbane, so theyve recieved a handful. He'll ship anywhere and wont stooge you guys, hope everyone gets what theyre after! heads up they only got 9's to 11's. Theyve been up on the webstore since last night -

Friend walked past Carhartt NYC today and they had every colorway except for the camo on display. Not sure if they still have any sizes left, just heads up to anyone who wants to try.

Brown pairs looks the best IMO.

[DJGuamstyles]

Thanks for the info martyb! I think you're OTWS's first official Aussie! Well, at least the first one to comment on here!
