Be the envy of everyone in the room with these gnarly vans! You are considering a pair of VANS AUTHENTIC CANVAS PRISM VIOLET BLACK MENS SIZE 9 SKATE SHOES. Well, it's time to sell some of my personal vans collection. I have been collecting for quite some time and have some very rare shoes. Some of these were never even available for purchase. I wear a size 9 and was lucky enough to find a connection at vans that hooked me up with their samples. Because of this, I was able to collect some really awesome shoes. Because these are pre-sale styles, some are marked as samples on the inside of the shoe and some are not. If this bothers you, let me know which pair you are looking at and I'll check and make sure they do or don't. It's really a non-issue as you are the only one who will ever see it, and you will have to be looking to do so. I would love to keep all of these, however, we are trying for a second child and are quickly running out of room. All my vans are brand new and have never been worn. The box does not come with them as it is for display purposes only. If you have any questions, please let me know.
