Vans 'Fixie"

+1
got mine last novemeber. since purchase has been the only shoe ridden in since. only just waering a hole in them now. but i did just get a pair of these…

ive been thinking about those for a while - probably havent been wearing them long enough but how have they held up? the leather toe cab thing on the sole looks a bit shoddy and the white looks like it would get really dirty riding. please tell me otherwise so i can go and buy them :smiley:

ok but where in melb can you actually see/buy the vans fixies. i just want to see and feel them so i can compare them to my other vans. i went into platypus and when i asked the chick and the dude (heatseaker?) just looked at each otehr and went :roll: but then he went for a look out back and found nothing

I don’t know if they’re around any more.

Bought some a couple weeks ago from ‘The Lab’ on Brunswick st they may also have them at Prime which is on little collins and opposite the lab. Comes with a vans cycling cap as well.

they still alive?

Yeah and there really comfortable might take a couple days to wear in and definitely last longer than your standard authentics.

I have the grey ones, came with a matching saddle bag. Paid A$60. Dope

where’d you get them for $60? there seemed to be a price increase everywhere last month. the cheapest i could find authentics were $90.

$60 sounds like a pretty good deal, from where may i ask?

$60 is still pretty expensive for a vans :expressionless:

I think $60 was fair seeing they started life at $170! They are of better quality than other Authentics. The have a more sturdy sole have reflective laces and have the matching saddle bag.

I got them at a place called Raised by Wolves and were the last pair.

On another note you can get 2 pairs of Authentics at Paul’s Warehouse on George st Sydney for $90. That’s right 2 for $90!

if only i lived in sydney.

Im pretty sure they ship interstate as well.

Are you fucking normal?

RRP for standard Vans Authentics and CSO is $89.95 and don’t even start about how you buy them off the net or some shit.

2 for 90 is even better, too bad im not in sydney

yeah, i just checked but they’ve sold out of the ones i want. too slow…

Looks like Adidas have seen what vans have done.

adidas are to release a sneaker for all you ‘fixed gear’ riders, designing a new Samba colorway. Slimming down the midsole slightly and moulding the entire upper for speed, these wheel turners come in two restrained colours complemented by an oversize tongue tag declaring ‘Slam the hammer down!’ alongside logos of mechanical gears. There is no word on a fixed released date, so keep checking here for more news!



You love the colourway!
