hahaha I was so psyched when I saw that!
Shot down real quick

No luck on that 12 so far...

Because I hesitated on being the first in line, I missed out on the only size 12's Stussy La Brea had, but fortunately enough, these size 11.5's fit like a 12, so im happy

BTW, the suede on these is incredible! Anyone know how the suede is on the white Sk8-Hi's?

Nice Daniel!

This pic makes me glad I pulled the trigger on this pair.

Props to Stussy on keeping the collector culture alive. Whenever they do big projects, they always make stuff for a general release, then a more limited variation that's available in-Stussy stores, and even sometimes they do a Friends & Family edition, leaving something to be coveted. Glad to see most of us got a pair of these. I sent out the tweet via the heads up account. I ended up calling a few Stussy stores to see if they'd take a phone order, and Seattle was the first to say yes, but they already sold their 12's and 11.5's. A few stores weren't taking phone orders, like NY, and LV, and then I decided to call Vancouver, and low and behold they had a 12, and after an email request to their manager, I was able to persuade him to sell me the 12. BUT of course at a cost. Their retail is $95 on these. After tax and a $30-$40 shipping price, these will end up being around $150!! With each store only getting 1 or 2 12's at most, and online only dropping up to a sz11, I guess I gotta chalk this one up to the game. sz11 will need to be sold to make back the difference I paid to have a 12.

My youngest graduated high school today. So in attending the ceremony I couldn't play the game well. I guess I'll have to be happy with making the right choice. Family first. Shoes come and go. And she graduated Magna Cum Laude with National Honors Frat as well. On to the party...

Damn Guam, that sucks! glad you got your 12 tho!

Tom: Priorities sir, and congrats on your daughter graduating with honors! That's a real accomplishment, unlike obtaining shoes!

Thanks Rob!

Much better choice, Tom! There's always another chance at the shoes, but only one chance with events like that!

Ended up grabbing the style 36's today. The 90's ska-kid in me was tempted by the 8-balls, but I don't think I'd end up wearing them much. haha Plus, the last month has been madness! This has to be the most densely populated month of great Vans releases in a while. Or maybe it's just that there were the Star Wars and Vault Zip releases that got me in the wallet… Might be time to unload some stuff to make room for the new!

Kyle I thought I'd be all over this pack, I'm surprised your only getting one. But yeah this past month has been killn my wallet.

The pair I can't get my hands on is always the pair I want the most.
