Coming from the mod's reddit vendetta post to share my collection from some time back.
(lemmy.world)
It is not nearly as complete now as it used to be.
Each pair of them cost me 4€ in basically completely new condition. I spent one summer in warehouse which handled Vans along others. At the end they made a finders-keepers kind of race, with unworn returned stock (wrong size, unwanted gift, etc..). My friend walked out with same sized collection. Missed the bus back so we had to walk I think 5+km in heat, each with 10-11 pairs of shoes in a huge plastic bag on our backs.
Hell yeah! You're the first person to post here besides me!
Those are sick! I need to pickup some more blue pairs..
Edit: Just read the post body, sounds like it was worth it to me haha. That's pretty cool. And definitely a steal at that price!
I've given away / traded / sold some of them but really made good use of them as well. Fun facts: The yellow ones are actually warm winter shoes, and the short brown pair is good with elegant outfits, can wear them to meetings, weddings, etc..
Loved the high blue ones personally the most. This was 7 years ago and my brother still wears the short blue pair to gym today.
No shoes ever lasted for me so long time of abuse as these Vans.
Edit: forgot to add... the black leather pair... I've gotten 2 right shoes instead of a pair lmao. Guess that's the risk for returned stuff but for that price I guess it works
