When I was in Venice, Ca this past weekend they had these in a window display at a new/vintage shop. I went in to get a pair and noticed that the t-shirts (in the worst condition possible) they were selling were 40 dollars. Didn't even ask about the shoes - figured they had to be more than I would spend.
I'm thinking I would choose the PowerSlave high-tops.

They all look pretty good. I'd like to get a pair of the Killers high-tops.

Am I the only one who expected vans with Iron Maiden artwork?

No, I've seen them before so I knew what it was.

I thought that too. I was expecting to see some tricked-out 70's vans with Eddie airbrushed on the side.

I used to wear Vans all the time as a kid. I loved going to the skate shop and being able to mix and match the colors you wanted. And they were just $25 then. Aren't they like $50 plus now? Can you still special order what colors you want?

EDIT: Can a mod fix this thread?

I remember going to the Van Doren stores as a kid in the 70's and getting custom made deck shoes. They didn't make slip ons till the early 80's and I believe only after they began the high top skate shoes ? You can still get custom made ones online....I use a pair of orange/black/checkerboard slip ons to play gigs with sometmes.

I don't remember the slip-ons when I wore them, and that was late 80s/early 90s. Maybe I just didn't pay attention. I always had the lace-up shoes.

The custom vans I designed online and had shipped to me. I thought the orange was gonna be a different shade, but it wasn't that big of a deal

I've been wearing Vans slip-ons pretty much my whole life and i gotta say those are some of the best graffix they have put out. I like the Killers and Trooper ones the best but all of them are bad.

I also have a pair of the limited addition Slayer Vans like this...

Whatever happened to that dude with the Beavis avatar who started a thread about "old school shoes?" He'd make the wee-wee of joy if he saw those Maiden shoes.

We have boys at the ranch show up with those and i'm waiting for someone to have my size.
In related news, I just bought a bobble-head The Trooper today. You can now be envious.
