Anyone have a contact at Vans? or...

know where I can score some plain white Vans slip-ons in bulk (10-15 pairs) for a decent price? I think since alot of people are doing customs, the plain white never go on sale and stay pretty high priced...

I can tell you that I've searched high and low for wholesale outside of vans. This is the only spot I've found but they are only a distro for retail shops.

it was all they had left. if you have a time machine you could go back there and get them all.

there is an outlet store here but the only things that go cheap are the closeouts... all the bread and butter stuff is top dollar.

The HQ is right down the street from my shop and I know a few kids that skate and surf for them but them getting me a few pairs is pulling teeth. Have you tried emailing them directly? Most surf skate companies these days love working with artists. I would just hit them up and see what they say.

I have looked up their company info and they are owned by some other conglomerate now so getting actual Vans info is tough... I wrote someone in their marketing dept. but never got a reply...

Oh... and Vastagh... how is that time machine coming along?

Maybe befriend a local skate shop owner? Let me know if you find a good source.
