hahah have at those. they are really, really bad and look nothing like they were supposed to. A little preview into our process with Vans. Initially supposed to be 3 different models - 1 skate (half cab), 1 outdoor (the aubin above) and one classic (a reissue of an Italian-market only version of the slip on that had a step down heel). Unfortunately Vans had tried to bring both the Aubin and that slip on back but really bricked the silhouettes on both and wouldn’t let us make any pattern changes. So we scraped both those shoes all together and just ran 3 half cabs.

I imagine this guy is probably a friend or family member of someone at USPS.

Could you buy it (lowball) or get someone else too for you via PP and claim it back for being stolen goods?

Dude is a bottom feeder whose entire business is this. He buys “undeliverable” packages (aka the stuff usps loses) directly from usps and sells it, often to the people that the stuff was meant to go to. I know this because he told me so - he said this happens all the time and he is under no obligation to give us our merchandise back and we can either buy it back from him at a profit or not. 🤷‍♂️

They're not my style (or size, for that matter), I just hadn't seen them before. Plus, a little surprised by the price.

hahah Vans is a wrap. These were ideas that we cancelled before we landed on the 3 halfcabs. Cannot confirm or deny anything else.

Cool! I had seen pictures of the early drops that looked similar to this sweater, but when it went for a relatively low price at auction I was kind of surprised. Honestly didn't expect to win, lol.
