Welcome everyone! Tonight we got right into some drink talk, and what we were drinking. Bill gets shitty like a Real Housewife when he drinks wine. For this week, he’s switching it up from a craft beer, to a pre-mixed Old Fashioned from Trader Joe’s. Only available during the holidays, so check it out if it’s your thing! We all love Trader Joe’s. Somehow got on a tangent about air fryers and instapots, and all the things we can cook in them. Joe had a DHIPA from North Park Brewing. Eddie had a solid Peach Mango Bang energy drink, and he’s having a hard time trying to find some new flavors, so hook him up Bang! Supply chains are all fucked up right now.
First release topic was the Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX MTE-3. Then we recapped the Supreme x Tiffany release. Shocker…Palace shipped their recent collab in a polybag. T&C Surf Designs are back for a third collab with Vans, and it’s a nice one. Panda Mei has teamed up with Vans China on a cool blind box toy release of a few Letterhead characters, and we got a good look of them via Emily Ma (@myttttt)’s IG. That got us talking about other classic vinyl toy brands like Kid Robot, which then got us on a topic about their highly sought after Air Max 1’s. That transitioned into talks about other grail Air Maxes, and the huge runner sneakers culture in the UK. Y’all kids weren’t there!
We discussed the top 10 Most Stupidly Expensive Sneakers, since we were light on other news.
For show & tell this week, Bill shared the Vans Family Loteria board game that was an exclusive to the Vans Family app, and he also came up on a pair of vintage 90’s Made In USA Authentics in olive green. Eddie surprised us with a cool sample camo baseball jersey he had made up for The Authentic Era. It didn’t turn out quite as expected, so he will be looking for a new manufacturer to try again. We said no more ordering off of the Wish app, lol. Just kidding.
Don’t forget, Vans Checkerboard Day is Thursday 11/18. Get out there and create something! Help out your community. Get involved.
