Welcome to our temporary Wednesday show! After realizing that we were accidentally competing with Clayton’s “Meet the Vans Fam” IG Live time slot, we’ve decided to change it up again, and will be settling in on Tuesdays, starting next week. We obviously weren’t thinking!
We started out discussions with the only Vans drop of the week, the Vans Vault x Noah Caballero VLT LX & Authentic One-Piece VLT LX collection. We absolutely love Noah, and everything they stand for. Their style is all their own, and the earth tone colorways chosen for this collection are absolute fire.
We hit on a few random topics. We talked about Nigo becoming the Artistic Director for Kenzo, which had us reminiscing about our first introduction to A Bathing Ape, the styles back then, and their ridiculously dope retail stores. We paid homage to Norm McDonald, one of the comedy greats from the past few decades. Rest in peace.
We called out another eBay clown, trying to sell a pair of donut-themed custom painted Vans, who’s asking $17,000, lol. Vans friend @myttttt, leaked an image of a possible future Vans Family accessory, a wooden Old Skool ornament, created by Panda Mei, another Vans friend and talented artist who’s worked with Vans Asia quite a bit.
We then got into the big topic for this week, of THE NORDSTROM RACK. We went down memory lane, talking about all of the crazy pickups we found back in the day. We’re talking Vaults, Syndicates, shop collaborations, Supreme Vans, and so much more. Bill had a bunch of pics to share of all of his hauls from back around 2010 and so on, but it honestly only scratched the surface. You can’t miss that segment at about the 41 min. mark. Joey and I talked about all of the Syndicate accessories that were still attached to the shoes, that we would also get with the shoes. Such fun times.
We got off on a tangent about Nikes, as we tend to do sometimes. Sorry, but you have to understand that we came from that culture, and even though we’re jaded by the majority of it, we still can’t help but complain, and talk about the good ‘ol days. Is this Niketalk?!
Eddie shared his recent pickups, of the Blends x Born Free Sk8-Hi Reissue LX in Black. Such a classic shoe that people are sleeping on. Eddie also unboxed his Pokemon Oreos for us. Pokemon got us talking about gaming for a bit. Shoutout to Counter-Strike, Halo 2, Star Craft, and World of Warcraft!
Reminder: we will be moving to Tuesdays, same time of 10PM CDT / 8PM PDT, for the live stream!!!
You can drop in for the live Twitch stream, every Tuesday (10PM CDT / 8PM PDT), or you can get caught up later on, by viewing us on our Youtube channel. Audio formats can be found on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and Anchor.
