slip-on vans

[kritikal]

i went to a concert this past weekend and this dude's vans, or at least i thought they were vans, caught my attention. they were slipons and had some some sort of diamond pattern on it.....kinda like what you see on cardigans (i think). i think they were purple and also some other shade of purple. anybody know if these were vans or whatever shoe are?

[notesee]

They sound like Alife slip ons, with an argyle pattern.

[kritikal]

i think you're right.....alife. now where can i get my hands on these? im in san jose.....TRUE???

Workman's balance in Eastridge carries Alife shoes, or they used to.

[JesseJB]

Just wanted to help with a picture of the shoes

I guess it is the ones in the lower right corner

[kritikal]

its looks like the ones one the bottom left and right corners, but the colors dont seem to match what i saw. i remember it being a darker shade of purple

i didn't think alife's made argyles for a year or so...

You're right, Vans made argyle slip-ons too. I they came in a grey/black/red colorway and in a shade of purple with other colors like you described. I'm pretty sure it was purple (i'm colorblind hehehe.) I don't think they're in production anymore.

vans vault had some dope argyle ones

one was a muave/purpleish color, slightly shiny

Someone mentioned a while back about slipons with wax on the front. I think it was melted candle wax or something, and supposedly it looks cool. Does anyone have any information about or how to achieve this?

yeah they are cool

[phuphyter]

Did they look like these?

If so, they're about three years old. I tried looking for another pair, but I couldn't find them anywhere.

those wing tips and the oldskool hightops are the dank

[Guest jmatsu]

i actually saw the camo highs at abc like a week ago. they're like toys. not nice at all in person.

while i dislike gola, i must admit that their wingtips look nicer then that of vans.

that's not true at all. unless by skating you mean longboarding or by bast you mean worst ever.

Love Vans slip-ons - got the brown/beige check, grey Marc Jacobs courdoroy, and just picked up some plain cyan/white ones for a bargain on the weekend.. perfect for summer!

speaking of slip-ons... I'm really pissed at myself for sleeping on Gucci's monogram print ones that came out last spring. they had a white midsole, too. Those would have brought me to a whole nother level of stuntastic
