NIKE VANDAL APPRECIATION... ****

I wear the most common size ever @unseen, a 12. So I already know it's a certified wrap.

I wish I wore a size 9, I'd have samples galore.
 
Speakin' of samples @unseen... Here's some 1983 Vandal samples, from Ebay awhile back.

(No those aren't the original straps to this pair.)

As soon as they started putting other materials on the Forces, this went down the trash.​

Sad, but undeniably true @unseen & @Double F...
 ​
Once they started makin' them with cheap *** plastic leather.... & comin' out with HORRENDOUS, cringe worthy colorways, like these back in 2007-08...

Oh DON'T get me started on those. I was goin' to post em up, but didn't wanna even see those horrendous *****.. Seriously, what would you even wear with those? F'in Seriously? I don't see any grown man pullin' that ish off. Don't get me started on cringe worthy colorways @unseen...

I know you remember these, they came out the same time...

For real, like....
 
i do i do...  comic book pack, blue horse hairs, highlighter heroes.   dafuuuuq...  and the lows.  kill us with the lows.

HELL YES @unseen, don't get me started with the lows. First of the OG Vandal Low didn't have a strap at all. I search forever, but I can't find a pic for ish. Hopefully, one of the board OG's can come through with an old catalogue pics... or somethin'. I've seen em before. Just picture the AF1 Low, but as a Vandal.

Anyways, I far as the Retro Lows go... These were the only colorways that were nice, & rockable IMHO...

I still have ALL of these, except for the Obsidian's & the Black & White pair @unseen... I wasn't ever able to find the Obsidian's in my size, & I slept on the B&W's. Nike Vandal Leather Lows are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever owned... and wore in my life. They're up there with the 2001 Air Jordan 1 Retros.

They crease as soon you walk in them, & when they do....
 ​
That's all on the lows IMO @unseen. Please don't put "Nike Vandal Low" in the "Google" search engine. It'll bring back bad memories, & make your eyes bleed. Seriously dude, SERIOUSLY..

Yes, I remember those @unseen. Those are from the Black fives pack right? I slept on those mainly because i only rocked black shoes back then. But yes, those were definitely an underrated colorway. How do you feel about these?

Honestly, I liked the idea & concept.... But they just didn't, & still don't fit my personal style.
 
@MarzThaRealist  interesting that you mention these.  theyre one of the few that im still willing to look for.  yeah theyre a bit loud, but id rock because the concept is so dope.  its super hard to find these things, even in nds condition.

I feel you, I'm thinkin' about buyin' em myself just to have them. Someone's sellin' a size 12 DS on the Bay. That's were I got those pics from. This is the ONE Vandal, right here, that I regret sleepin' on @unseen...

These are ULTRA rare right here, & only released overseas. I'd give my whole Jordan collection up for three DS pairs of these.

Real talk. Also, these right here.

These are some of the cleanest vandals ever, with the 2002 mold. These should be available at all times, like the all black & white Air Force 1's IMHO. At ALL times.

I've been tryin' to seek them out also @unseen, but to no avail. A size 7 popped up on Ebay, a few years ago, but that's the only time I ever seen them posted. They came out 6 years ago, so I know it's gonna be a ****h tryin' to find a pair. I found the 2002 Kyle Reese's last year, after searchin' the corners of the net... for 13 years. So, we just have to keep hope alive.

Here's the product number, if that helps @unseen.

Nike Vandal High Supreme QS – Black – Metallic Summit White 408325-001
