![]() ![]() There’s the Sk8-Hi Notchback Gore-Tex, as well as an Old Skool Gore-Tex, both featuring Woodland Camo poly based textiles, as well as premium Wolverine weathertight waterproof pig suede. We’re not sure if they fall under the MTE line, or not, but that’s the closest identity we could give to the Gore-Tex stuff. This pack consists of a new variation for DEFCON Vans, this time utilizing the rarely seen Gore-Tex silo. I still think if you can’t tough out a sneaker camp out, then your chair gets lined up across the street with all the other suckers, but that’s just me. ![]() This is more of an archive post, since it’s too late to purchase a pair now, and the few skate shops that did get these, have resorted to fcfs, in-store only releases, and people (or at least their chairs) have been lined up since yesterday morning. We’ve been sharing every pic that was posted on IG this week, but we now have the official images via the DEFCON webstore. Put in that work! Make some connections.Sorry for not having much information ahead of time on these, but as with all things DEFCON, they like to keep things classified. Good luck hunting down pairs, as more shops will be getting these throughout this week and next. DEFCON always brings the heat to the table, and you’d better not sleep, otherwise you’ll be paying sucker reseller prices. ![]() Plus, you better believe that a ton of soldiers, gun nuts, preppers, and military enthusiasts are going to be after these as well. $160 is high for a pair of Vans, yes, but low compared to your typical Nike Basketball shoe, or Jordan retro, and you can’t put a price on this type of authenticity and coolness. Right now, these seem to be hitting the $160 mark. Sneakers are a commodity now days, and are bought and sold through various sneaker exchanges these days, the most popular being eBay. Next, you need to know that these were produced in very limited numbers, and when word gets out about limited availability, then the sneaker resellers will come out in droves to try and head you off at the pass, so they can make money off of the high demand.

These awesome Vans shoes were created under Vans’ core skate shop exclusive division, known as Vans Syndicate. I’d rather let the loyalists to each shop get theirs first, or those who are doing their homework! If you’ve stumbled upon us through a web search, and you’re unfamiliar with how to get a pair of these, then you first have to know a few things. ![]() The Sk8-Hi Notchback Pro “S” is selling out faster than the Old Skool Pro “S”, but both are disappearing faster than free beer! I typically give the heads up when a release is available online, but as soon as these releases pop up, they’re pretty much gone in an hour or so. The highly anticipated, wait let me rephrase that, the most unforeseen cluster f*ck of a Syndicate release in years has started to drop upon us! That’s right, the collaboration, but not really a collaboration because it’s all in-house, with the recently exposed DEFCON group, has been popping up all over the world at Vans Syndicate accounts. ![]()
