I need to get Jake a pair

[Aetas]

Miraculous! My son raised an outcry, when I skipped the picture as fast as I could.

Need the laces!

[sabergirl]

Ditto.  I love the shoes, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't wear them that much.  I would put those laces in all of my shoes, if I could.

where to cop? @summ3rhays

[summ3rhays]

I picked them up at the local Vans store, but I also saw them online from their site under collaborations.

They should have them at any vans store. If you want them and can't find them let me know as the vans store local to me definitely has them.

@Appfaff:

So, I got a very special package in the mail today from a talented young lady out of Chicago (well she's from Cali, but goes to school with my brother in Chicago). She is the girl behind Farmtown Denim and Leather and has been honing her skills at making leather and denim goods over the past few years since my
Little bro got her to grab a pair of raws while on vacation a few years ago.

Stories aside, here is what I had her create for me:

She announced that she was going to indigo dye some shoes (inspiration from Andrew of 3sixteen) and figured since the 3:16 guys did chucks, she wouldn't step on their turf, and decided to do some Vans (more of her Cali roots anyways).

When I heard, I knew I had to get a pair of my favorite shoes of all time done - the Sk8-Hi.

Here is the result:

Dipped for a total of 8 times

Love how even the "leather" and rubber areas soaked up some color (sure it will slough off very quickly)

Better not wear these on my white carpet as the sole had some indigo stick as well
She threw in this cool extra - might I add what cool Packaging this is - and yes, that is a hand indigo dyed strand of yarn hiding the butcher paper together:

What was inside

Overall, I can't believe how awesome these are -
I'm sure other people have done this or will inevitably do this as well, but I'm happy "thinking" that I'm the only person with this super deep, super unstable 8 dip indigo dyed Vans sk8-His

Here is a link to her etsy - and she does custom work as well http://www.etsy.com/shop/farmtowndenim#

Are these still available?

[KrisB]

Picked up a pair or Vans Syndicate x Civilist at my local skate shop

[Flash]

Needed some new vans , got these on sale

[Jordonf9]

Not sure if anyone posted these…but I love my Sk8Hi MTE...Stock photo, but I have the caramel/tan color in the middle. You're welcome

I want a pair of the red, always looking for a sale though….

[Max Power]

Somehow that snowwhite Sk8Hi caught my eye. I know it looks awful but I can't wait to make it look as dirty as the old ones.

[Finkster]

My Vans - dirty and dusty … I think, it's years ago, since I had them the last time on my feet. 

[Finkster]

by the way … that's not in my flat.
