Are those good to play ball in? I was debating on some shoes to cop for ball, and sense I missed the chance to get the Questions I gotta looks for something else.

they are real comfortable homey.....and the ankle support is great.....I know some say that they have twisted their ankle playing ball in these though....

Vans were never sold at Payless.....they've always had the Van store......those were knock offs...like when Payless dropped the XJ900's when the Jordan 4's dropped....

:childplease: bullshyt. i know for a fact as a kid i didnt want to be caught dead in vans, they were considered lame. They were cheap, and they still are actually. They were sold at payless shoe source. They started to really get popular around 04-05 in the bay, then the pac dropped The Vans song and they blew the fukk up.

Were they the pearlized ones or the nubuck ones? The nubucks were released everywhere. The pearlized ones were exclusive to Philly and were just recently rereleased.

naw they were pearlized homey.....Ive been a sneaker head for a long time.....copped them off some spot off of Melrose back in the day....

Aww for real? You learn something new everyday. I was trying to cop the rereleased but they sold out in 5 minutes on reebok.com. I didn't have anywhere else to get them cause no shoe store in TN was selling them I believe.

In the late 90s-early 00s, they were. They were on airwalk status.

If you are from Norhern CaLi maybe.....but in So CaL there are Van stores that have been around since the 80's that are still around....I know there is one in Pomona still that has been there forever.....
