vintage van's style #44 ~ US7

vintage van's style #44 authentic

gun metal canvas

black rubber scene

made in usa circa 1991

new (with defects) in box

US7/UK6-6.5 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 25.9cm)

unworn HOWEVER THESE ARE DEFECTIVE!  sadly the entire first foxing (stripe area) has cured/solidified & rigid areas will shatter & widespread loss of rubber will occur. the adhesive overglue has oxidised to a rusty colour which is a bad sign. only the first foxing is effected & the waffle & friction itself will hold up to normal wear. the foundation of the shoes will hold up over time however with significant loss of rubber chunks. wear at own risk. the box is broken
