vintage van's style #38 ~ US9.5

vintage van's style #38 sk8-hi

red/neon orange suede/canvas

made in usa circa 1994

used

US9.5/UK8.5-9 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 28.2cm)

very good used condition.... however the entire rubber first foxing (stripe area) has cured/solidified & will crack & chip away. the rubber that meets the orange canvas is somewhat softer but the rubber meeting the suede is completely brittle. cracks are already visible & will continue throughout upon bend.  the sidewall does show surface jigsaw cracking, & minor wet rot, but the friction itself & waffle remain soft & unaffected. these will hold up to normal wear however with significant loss of rubber chunks. wear at own risk!
