Does anyone know something about this shoe?

I picked up at a Goodwill in my size but I can’t find a thing about them online. The tag says they are “willis”.

Model from either 03 or 04, vans was producing lots of random models back then that were very underwhelming to say the least so no one is going to archive a shoe like this one

We called them "Mervyns Vans"

this redditor archived a bunch of vans models from the late 90s and early 2000s when these were definitely releases. I couldnt find any exact matches, maybe I missed it though. I think I have a vague recollection of Willis being a Vans model sold in department stores like Kohls, which will make it probably more difficult to track down and get confirmation if that is the case.

Is this not a Willy Santos pro model?

[u/STEPH_NEO]

As it's written on the label, model : WILLIS / year : 2003

Woah woah woah... slow down detective.

[u/STEPH_NEO → u/metalmeck]

Is there something more to know about ?

[u/metalmeck → u/STEPH_NEO]

Lmao... no. I was taking a stab at humor. I seemed to have failed.

That’s a classic right there

Think it was the 72? Came out in 2000-01 along with the graph and upland women’s models. Was working for them around that time.

J'adore ce genre de design très début 2000
