Some of the best Vans I've seen. I'd totally get these if I hadn't just got a pair.

Total n00b here, is this okay for $23? I will probably switch to grey laces though.

It's a bit big

Sorry, I didn't know that it would come out that big, edited.

Could someone please explain Flight Club NY/LA to me? I'm looking at this pair of Spiz'ikes that I like but there are two prices ($220 and $240). Both are apparently "brand new in box" but why the twenty dollar difference?

higher demand for whatever reason; that site is crazy, charts and **** showing pricing trends for shoes

Uh, seriously. It's the 4Chan of sneaker websites..for me at least. I can barely navigate it but apparently it's super-legit so whatever.

Think a lot of flight club is sorta consignment, no?

Vans gr zero low

Besides the demand, it also depends on the rarity. Certain sizes are harder to find than others, hence why they command those prices.

Shore, those are dope. Wish they came in all white.

I did some more looking around and a few shoes I like usually have 2-3 prices. Keep in the mind, these are the exact same model, size, and (allegedly) the exact same condition. Would you order the cheaper pair or the most expensive?

It's a consignment shop and doesn't the owner of the shoe sets the price for their item and the store just gets a percentage of that sale or they add their own mark-up for their own profit.

Spizikes sucks btw.

You're just jello because I'd be getting four sneakers for the price of one.
