They probably got 6 pairs the same way my friend did. I have a pair secured now, retail. 

Ugh.. I need these blends bones in my life :smh:

I'm happy some NT'ers were able to secure a pair... I'll be looking for a decent priced 9 or 9.5 for the remainder of the year, not getting my hopes up though.

Anyone check out the Pilgrim x Vans Collab dropping soon? A set of off white slip ons and authentics are set to drop.

^I may not be the right person because i'm not into checkers but those are worse than any of the checkers i've seen. 
 
Can anyone give me some advice on sizing for the taka nomad chukka? I had to get an 8 in the vault slip on ogs but most of the time I'm an 8.5.

Definitely stay true to size on them. I'm a true 9 and I got vault slip ons in a size 9 and they fit just a little big but fine. I have the light brown chukka nomad as well and a 9 fits me better than the vault slip ons.

Appreciate it, that description actually helps a lot. I had a similar thing when I was trying on slip ons. My true size was slightly too big

is there a difference between old skools and old skool 36x, if so what? and sizing, is it the same as old skools?

Style 36 is more narrow. The paneling is different and obviously the toe is significantly different. Sizing is all over the place like most vans.

I have the WTaps 36s and the blends both in a 9.5. The WTaps fit a little wider.
 
General consensus on sizing for Style 36s is to go a half size down. In my experience, it holds true.

The blends fit perfect. Had I gone a half size down in the WTaps, the should've been too small.

In most old skools I can get away with a 9. Got a 9 in the OLs and they are a little snug (prob due to the insole) but vans sizing definitely varies across models and releases wether it be pro, vault, of etc...

Do they vault fit bigger because the midsole is thicker? It seems like it would have more depth or volume instead the shoe because of the extra height on the midsole and the same liner being inside the shoe besides the thin leather heel patch.

That could be it.

I don't understand why they don't add a thicker insert like the foam ones in the Pro line to accommodate that extra height. I think the padding in the pros is pretty nice since it fills up your arch better but the pro line always slip in the heel since the inside has less room because of that extra padding.

I actually feel the opposite. I don't like the Pro insole at all. Just too thick for me and always ruins the fit. More on authentics than old skools tho. These days I generally stay away from Pros no matter how much I like
