VANS SYNDICATE: "YESTERDAY'S TECHNOLOGY TODAY"

WHAT I WAS WEARING

What I was wearing the past few days...

MY W)TAPS x VANS SYNDICATE COLLECTION

I recently got my other shoes back from the storage. So, I was reunited with my shoes and along with my other W)Taps x Vans Syndicates.
It felt like it was Christmas and birthday to me when I got them back. Haha.

W)TAPS x VANS BASH

Thanks to RIF-LA, I was able to acquire these black W)Taps x Vans (Syndicate) Bash in 9/10 condition.
I've been looking everywhere for them, but I could only find them on a Japanese auction sites - Rakuten.

And yes, they do resemble like the Jordan 3's.

W)TAPS x VANS RUDEEZ

Finally! Thanks to RIF-LA, I found a pair of W)Taps x Vans Syndicate Rudeez close to my size, in best condition with box and dust bag, and affordable price.

SAMPLE W)TAPS x VANS SK8-MID

Got to see these samples and tried getting them, but eventually failed. Haha.

The difference between the sample and released pair were:

- The back heel stitching "Way of Life".
- Used all suede material (sample) instead of suede and canvas (released pair).
- Navy-Blue suede seem a lot darker.
- Insole: "Vans" patch stitched on the insole instead of printed.

(NOTE: I don't have these so don't bother asking if I'm selling them.)

W)TAPS x BAPE JUNGLE JACKET - DIGI CAMO

First time seeing this jacket, I was like - "how's this a Bape collab and not have those Ape faces?" Then I took a closer look... Haha.
Oh yeah, Digi camo = digital camouflage.

And if you're wondering/curious of what those patches say/mean - they are Latin words.

Veritas = Truth

Aequitas = Justice or Equality

SUPREME x W)TAPS JUNGLE JACKET - CAMO

Been looking around for this jacket lately and finally found it...
When I received it and tried it on, I was quite disappointed about this jacket because it was 1 size smaller, but it's tagged as a size Large - fits more like a size Medium.
One of the best collaboration produced by Supreme and W)taps.

SAMPLE W)TAPS x VANS SK8-MID

Thanks to silokinesis from Off The Wall Site Forum for the picture of the sample W)TAPS x VANS SK8-MIDS.

The difference between the sample and the released pair:
- Sample pair is all suede.
- Released pair are combination of suede and canvas (middle part of the Sk8-Mids).

- Sample pair: Stitching in the back saying "Way of Life"
- Released pair: No stitching in the back.

W)TAPS x VANS SK8-MID LEOPARD PRINT

In case you didn't know, these W)Taps Sk8-Mid's are Japan exclusive only. Meaning they didn't drop in the U.S.!! But I believe that we had a U.S. Exclusive - the Black and Navy-Blue pair.
