So...I hate to even put this up here, but it may just work out in the end...Vault x Star Wars collection restocked on Opening Ceremony. There's still some random lingering sizes, except in the Darth Vader Cabs. I ordered an 11.5 in the Miami AT AT Sk8-Hi, so we'll see what happens. Free shipping if you make it to $101. Just throw in some cheap accessory.

Couldn't sell out 300 pairs? Very curious. I copped a pair.

There was obviously more than 300 pairs. The numbers just don't add up you know? I even looked at Vans' press release for the LX drop and notice they never mention 300 pairs, but rather just say limit. Although I am curious to know the number.

Yeah, opening ceremony restocked full size runs of ALL 6 shoes. I finally snagged myself a pair of the AT-AT slip-on's. Glad I waited, rather than pay what they were going for on ebay!

from Vans EU "With less than 300 pairs of each style produced"

I didn't see a FSR restock on OC, I only saw certain sizes restock, the only FSR restock I saw was the Miami Sk8 Hi.
It could be they got the pairs that didn't sell through.
hard to believe they couldn't sell 300 pairs though.
we need to get Matlock on this case.

So tempting to double up on those Miami AT-AT sk8-hi's…

Maybe they were just trying to hype things huh? Everyone was going crazy over those kicks. With all these pairs floating around, I can't believe that only 300 were made. Not that thats a bad thing though. It'll be easier to collect these kicks.

[SlipOnFiend]

It seems they only had one in each size, but when I bought my slip-on's last week all 6 shoes were up, with most of them having FSR's.

I thought it was 300 in each style? In which case, that would be 1800 pairs of the Vaults. Still entirely plausible to me that there'd be this many still floating around if that were the case with Vans fans being the main ones in the know, Star Wars fans maybe not even knowing (or finding out too late), resellers buying up a bunch, and 9 other GR Star Wars Vans models to choose from at around the same time...

[DJGuamstyles]

Yeah we're not talking about "Jordan" limited, hehe. Those Spizikes that just dropped are numbered, and it's like 20k+, lol. AND they didn't even number the shoe, right? Just the keychains. That's embarassing, hehe. I think there are roughly 300 official pairs still. Not sure if that counts the promo pairs that Vans are still giving out.

And SlipOn...you could've helped us out AFTER you got your pairs, hehe. I found out from Strictly Supreme FB page! I could've bought Vader Cabs!

Hahaha! I thought I had! Turns out I forgot to actually post the comment I intended to. Sorry man!

I honestly feel like maybe there were 3000? At least less than 5000. I do think Star Wars fans would buy them, just to have them, same as the people who believe in the hype not the brand.

I thought the key chains were just for OC? Or maybe for added hyped. I recall one store saying they would only be giving them out while supplies last. Ehh Jordan is such a scam of a brand. I've seen the Vaders dip into the $200 range.

[rocketgoof]

Oh yeah, Star Wars fans would definitely buy them just to buy them. What I'm saying is that with 15 different pairs of Star Wars Vans dropping this summer, this more limited release that was only given a week's notice might've flown under the radar of a lot of Star Wars fans.

Also, the subtlety of the designs and the blending of classic Vans prints might've been lost to a lot of Star Wars collectors. The Vault line was really awesome to Vans collectors because of that, but might not have been seen quite the same if you don't have any knowledge of the history of those prints. And again, 15 different designs were released in the span of a month or so! Even the most hardcore of Vans and Star Wars collectors are gonna have to pick and choose (myself included). With the higher price point of Vault, I can see a lot of Star Wars fans opting for the GR pairs with more straightforward Star Wars designs.

All things considered, if it is indeed 300 pairs per Vault style, I can see some being left over and a good chunk of resellers still having stock. Plus, OC seems to screw up a lot of things. It's plausible that they forgot how many they had in stock or something. haha
