Vans Fixed Gear Shoes

edited I just realise I only seen the coloured one, it's just the same Vans shoes we saw age ago, I never seen those one below, my mistake, sorry!

This isn't a repost or anything, I was checking out the Size? catalogue I got from Covent Garden, and at the Vans shoes section, this is what I've noticed;

basically it look like a Vans Era with some sort of sticky stuff on it.

no holes for cleats?

what's the point?

i never got why they put designs on the insoles? you cant see it when your wearing the shoes so only those in the know know whats inside the shoe, it makes no sense!

more pics and info..

They have since come out with a fixed gear specific shoe called the the 45LX Fixed. It’s the classic Era with reflective 3M re-enforced materials on the laces and on the heel logo. The shoes also come with a tool bag for under your seat to keep whatever you need.

Me likey.

Sweet gotta get me some!!!!

Very very tempted, especially the grey/black ones.

i still can't see what is "fixed gear" about these. they're just normal vans with bits of reflective tape stuck on the backs.

marketing bollocks.

similar to my av era's which I love, smooth front bit with nothing to catvh when you put your foot into your straps. Also no airholes on front bit so won't let water in as easily.

These are Style 95s from the seventies. Skate shoes.
Get over it.

Very true but I like my Vans, you're right not really "fixed gear" specific, still alright as Vans go...

If he's a gentleman, he would at the very least have taken his hat off ;)

Remember this thread?

I really don't want to know where he parked his gun!!

I spilt some beer for the dead brethren, as is tradition amongst us cholo tree rats.

Exactly - anyone could just buy some normal shoes and stick a bit of 3M tape on them.

Only muppets and fashion slaves would buy them over a cheaper but equally good alternative.

Off you go then :)

Saw these a while ago in some cool Japanese store in Soho. Now these look like fixed gear shoes.

You haven't quite grasped the essence of this forum, have you?
