Item: Vintage Late 1980s Vans Leather High Top Basketball/Aerobic Shoes with Original Box Size: Men's US 10 Up for sale is an incredibly rare, muse piece of sneaker history. This is an authentic pair of late-1980s Vans all-white leather high-top athletic shoes, complete with their original vintage blue "VANS" logo box. During the late 1980s fitness and basketball boom, Vans briefly branched out from vulcanized skate shoes to produce specialized cupsole athletic models. Because production was limited and brief, this specific silhouette is highly obscure and virtually impossible to find today—making it an essential Grail for serious archival Vans collectors. Specifications: * Brand: Vans * Size: 10 US * Era: Late 1980s (Features the "Designed by Vans in California / Made in Taiwan" interior tongue tag) * Material: Premium Leather Uppers * Colorway: All-White * Included Accessories: Original vintage 1980s blue Vans shoe box included Condition Report (Please Read Before Bidding/Buying): * Uppers & Interior: The white leather uppers, interior cloth lining, and tongue are in remarkably clean, well-preserved cosmetic condition with minimal aging. * Soles: The circular-tread cupsoles are clean and structurally intact. * Flaws: Due to the natural aging of the factory adhesives over nearly 40 years, there is visible dried glue along sole and leather. Please study the photos carefully. * Wearability: Because the original glue has dried out, these shoes are not recommended for immediate wear and are being sold strictly as an archival display/collector's piece. If you intend to wear them, they will require a professional sole-separation and reglue restoration. Terms of Sale: This item is being sold AS-IS for collection, display, or restoration purposes only. Please review all photos carefully and feel free to reach out with any questions prior to purchasing! Condition: New with defects.
