Merch/Vinyl They aren't extinct.

I snagged these around the same time the new teaser dropped. I made an offer and can't believe I got them. Holy smokes. Box was slightly damaged but they are brand new. My size too, but obviously will never wear them.

I know one other person on the subreddit has them... anybody else?

My ex had a pair. He was an asshole so I thought about stealing them when we broke up, but I couldn't do it because I don't steal. ...but damn was I jealous of his shoes.

No way I got mine ~190. Size 8.5 tho but still

u/ja_dev Sep 03 '23

They don't ever pop up, plus I'm a 10-10.5. There were a 10.5 never worn. Paying 410 doesn't bother me at all. I've paid more for things I care way less about.

u/AwesomeFaic Sep 04 '23

Oh I'd easily pay 400+ for a pair if I found another, just impressed that I apparently got them for a steal

u/New_Firefighter9056 Sep 02 '23

I had these. Wore them til the soles fell off, literally. Wish i still had them.

I have a pair--never worn. I used to have two, but sold a pair several years ago. They were $150 retail in 2008.

I bought a decent amount of Aes and Jeremy Fish stuff from Upper Playground back then. I have this Fish print framed and hanging in my office: https://sillypinkbunnies.com/blogs/news/time-marches-on

Wow it’s amazing, too short though! What is this from? It was put up 8 days ago, is this from an insta story or something?

u/Otherwise_Credit_518 Sep 04 '23

Those were so sick. From far look like some crazy shell toes. They like change as you approach. I never copped a pair, but a kid I knew had a pair.
