vintage van's style #95 ~ US9

vintage van's style #95 era

black suede

made in usa circa 1992

used

US9/UK8-8.5 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 27.4cm)

decent used condition. these are well-worn but were actually well-loved & still have life left. rubber is super soft & flexible & structurally they remain ok. they were however machine washed so the suede has stiffened & widespread micro-cracking to the foxing stripe area is visible. the most sever flaw is the wear to the left heel tab which exposes the mould under the waffle..... however should not let water in. almost zero separation between uppers & rubber. van's flags are shredded. internally there is surface wear to the heel lining however no cracking to the plastic heel counter. the vinyl collar shows splitting & exposure of net & foam underneath. some wear to the lining at the toes, through to the suede at the big toe & the very start of a tiny hole at the left toe. some wear to the insole at the big toes. laces not original.
