i'm guessing they're just not available yet

i don't know how i feel about this. i love the pixies and i love vans, but it still feels kind of like hearing a Pixies song in a McDonalds commercial


i think its funny how they tried to emulate Vaughan Oliver's style in that piece

Agree with you on that one Floop, seems a bit too close to the "Pixies sell out" gag.

floop, have you seen the latest Levi's billboards with a font and design made to look like the work of Raymond Pettibon?

Yuck. What happened to getting some chucks and drawing your own shit on them? I don't think corporate printed shoes will help anyone be cool.


Qu'ils aillent se faire foutre <-- yeah, what he said.

What a rip-off! Take a look at these ^^ Mastodon
ones and notice the effort and detail that went
into this pair and then have a look at the price..$52.
Cheaper and much better looking design. Pixies ones
are $65 and look like a sticker was stuck on it. You
can't tell me they couldn't have spent a bit more
time to put together a better design. Hell, even making
the black of the print the same colour black of the
shoe would have looked 100 times nicer.

Who cares whether they are selling out or not? I'm buying that shit. It's not like millions of kids across the country are going to be wearing them.

I didn't buy a Pixies shirt and think - sell outs, they have a shirt now. I wore it, other people wore it, and it was fine. What's the difference with shoes?
