Vans Vault Taka Hayashi

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

I wonder if this could be followed by a second release if the velocita. I would love a pair of black pebbled leather Akats! PLEASE VANS!

[wolfstrice09]

haha yeah that'd be awesome... as of now its only the Akats and the Slip On/Sk8 His from Taka! both of those are a must cop for me! I feel like they will make a Velocita with him again in a year maybe two.

I completely dig this shoe. insole is not to my liking, but throw a pro insole in there. good to go.
very happy to see them release again in different colors/materials. i scooped multiple pairs of 3 of the 4 colorways from last years release, due to my thought of these were a one time thing. glad they are not.

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

I thought it was a one time thing too. I guess not. Just kind of hope it doesn't GR like the Bash and Zero. I'm glad they're doing more colorways. Hopefully the expand the TH line and have him do apparel, like cut & sewn. Not just tees. As far as the insole go. All of my takas included the thick "pro" insole. But I do swap them out because I want to preserve the cool pattern.

Any body call Proper and find out what they're asking for these?

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

No. I'll probably call for the Sk8 his. Not the Akats. Saw your Akats in the WDYWT thread. Very nice.

[coco dips]

i can only assume they will be the same as last years---$130.
i sold a few pairs of the brown leather white stitching for 240 a piece earlier this year.

[wolfstrice09]

$130 is correct

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

$240 is rediculous. I thought I paid alot at $160.

[MF HectoOR]

i would love them all but dont think i'm that big ballin' at the moment.

$240 is rediculous. I thought I paid alot at $160.

$240 is still lower than EU retail.

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

No way. . . What are you guys paying over there? Is it cheaper to pay for shipping in US Vans?

They're my "poormans visvims" for now. Haha.

[Panic]

Akats were going for EUR 200, which is like $280.
Felt like a kid in a candy store when I picked them up in LA last year for $130.

I really feel the new grey Akats btw.

[wolfstrice09]

the greys are on point!!

San Fran killed it!!
