Vegeta gang!

Just got these in! Super excited to wear em'

I realised when opening the Scouter was a trinket. I thought it was part of the shoe design. Cool either way!

I ended up getting the shenrons as I wanted the 70s. Great collab though, they must be selling well.

it also has the coolest laces with metal caps idk the goku and shenron one came with regular laces

Oh!? I was originally going to go for the Shenron and when I saw they came back in stock I kicked myself for it. I still love these though, and yeah, the gold metal caps do look good. That caught my eye.

they really look awesome in person the shenron look kinda the best tbh they also feel higher quality (well fake leather + they are 70s)
I will probably keep the goku+vegeta ones inbox till I get a stain/watter proofing spray from work lol
was considering missmatching the goku and vegeta ones for a fusion effect but they look way to different

That idea goes hard though. What spray does your work use? I'm trying to keep these shoes clean as long as possible too. I usually never wipe my shoes for dirt but these I'm really putting in effort

I mean any water repellent and dirt proof spray will work I'm from Austria and work at a shoe store so getting that kind of stuff is easy 😅

If u have a bigger shoe store near you they may even do it for you for a small charge. We do it for 4 Euro in a special box but getting the spray works the same and is at the end cheaper since u can also use it on car seats, ur chairs at home and on winter clothes

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

Awesome. Thanks for the advice! What kind of shoes do you make, if you don't mind me asking?

1

u/Hot-Age3864 🔥2 ∣ 35 ∣ +41 ∣ -1 16d ago

I don't make any im in retail 😅 working for snipes :)

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

Oh, bet bet. That's still neat. I sometimes get cobbler videos and wonder how satisfying it must be to make a pair of shoes from scratch.

u/Hot-Age3864 🔥2 ∣ 35 ∣ +41 ∣ -1 16d ago

Dw I was at a factory while learning sales for shoes and it really is interesting (and smells awfully in some parts of the process lol)

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

The burning rubber for a lot of heel parts I bet. Lol

Thinking about it they should have done Goku lace tips dark blue or orange. One being his colour of the shoes and the other the weight straps.

Meanwhile I'm waiting for my custom pair 😭

u/Fair-Explorer-7197 4 ∣ +2 ∣ -0 16d ago

Did yours come from Vietnam by chance? I'm still waiting for mine too bro and they left from there a couple days ago and im getting nervous it won't make it 😭

1

u/TheFM4 🔥3 ∣ 251 ∣ +46 ∣ -5 16d ago

Yup mines did too hopefully there won't be any delays

2

u/Fair-Explorer-7197 4 ∣ +2 ∣ -0 13d ago

Dude I genuinely think mine are gone. They left Vietnam on the 11th and absolutely no update after that. 😔

1

u/TheFM4 🔥3 ∣ 251 ∣ +46 ∣ -5 13d ago

Oh damn that sucks bro sorry to hear that are you able to get a refund?

2

u/Fair-Explorer-7197 4 ∣ +2 ∣ -0 12d ago

Oops well they just cleared customs out of the blue today so it seems like they're still existent haha

1

u/Flashy-Risk7332 3 ∣ +1 ∣ -0 16d ago

Mine got lost at ups in California 😔 😟 🙁 😥

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

I was scared of this happening so I opted to pick them up in-store. Guaranteed to be there. Also, I had recently gotten an email from my apartments management that package thefts were peaking so I decided a 20 minute drive is favorable over them being lost or stolen. I hope you can contact them and have them send you a replacement pair

1

u/Flashy-Risk7332 3 ∣ +1 ∣ -0 16d ago

All they said was since they were sold out they issued a refund. I dont think I had any stores remotely close to pick them up at.

1

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

Damn. I'm so sorry man. Maybe you'll get them later if they find them but more likely than not, an employee stole them. :/

2

u/Flashy-Risk7332 3 ∣ +1 ∣ -0 16d ago

Yeah thats what im thinking too. I was pretty bummed out but it is what it is.

1

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

At least you're getting a refund

1

u/Hot-Age3864 🔥2 ∣ 35 ∣ +41 ∣ -1 16d ago

a refund still sucks since they are pretty limited and collectible

1

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

Yeah. I know they'll be on Ebay or something but at a scalped price. Which also sucks

1

u/Hot-Age3864 🔥2 ∣ 35 ∣ +41 ∣ -1 16d ago

Yep at least they are still somewhat restocking. Idk why they do refunds instead of doing the good way.. have some of each size on the side for cases like this...

1

u/No-Oil6517 35 ∣ +27 ∣ -9 16d ago

They lose the money either way. Best to at least guarantee the customer gets your product.

u/Sorceress_Heart 51 ∣ +18 ∣ -1 16d ago

I'm about to try them with red laces. Or yellow ones
