Is it a vintage pair of Van's? That white line could be an indicator of an older model...good luck!

Hi,

Thank you for your email in regards to finding those particular shoes. That is a older shoe and not something that we would carry, however we do have the custom shoe option on our website. Take a look at that and see if you can create the shoe that you are looking for.

So, they didn't want to pony up the actual model name, but my money is on a retired sk8 hi pro. It was very likely a rider-specific model, especially because of the red soles, but that's just me. If I find out anything else, I'll let you know. Good luck!

Worse comes to worse, you could find a pair of Van's with red soles, take a similar black Van's model (I don't know if they come with the grey "swoosh"...painting in grey would be your next option then) and go to a shoe-maker to affix the red sole and add the white line.

thats the same email i got from them, if the custom option would let you pick sole colors it would be great, and I have spent soooo many hours looking though websites and pics . I have came to the same conclusion it has to be a r"etired rider-specific model" as you said but for the life of me i cannot find out whom.

Thanks for the info guys! I ordered the custom options for as-close-as-possible. Just wish the soles were customizable. I will post pics when they arrive.

watching the new season and i just got a signed 11x14 the insides are a pinkish color as well as the stitching so the customs dont really come to close i wish they offered as many options as converse.

These are not it. These are more “half cab” styles, Charlie’s are definitely Sk8 Hi’s.

I too am looking for these, they seem to have been a very limited run

I bought these in about 2004/2005. Always thought I had the same ones, but mine have got pink stitching on the outside. These have the same pink sole, inner and logo line his though. Could get my sharpie on them for a Charlie D cosplay.

Those are amazingly close, in fact they are probably the same ones with the stitching dirtied down
