These ended up being the cheapest shoes I’ve ever bought in my life. This actually happened back in July, about a month after purchasing them for over $100. Been a lifelong fan and still am, but it sucked knowing they really were just trying to cash in on Pride month. Only reason I made this post is because their support finally responded after months of waiting to hear back, just to tell me they won’t let me exchange them. Frustrating but oh well. Corporations gonna corporate.
They’re just regular Vans with a pride decal. The de-lamination of the tan rubber from the white outer rubber happens to a lot of my Vans that aren’t pride themed. But yeah it’s annoying when you spend $70+ on a pair of shoes and they fall apart within a year of normal use.
