vintage van's style #57 metropolis

black suede

black rubber scene

made in usa circa 1995

used

USw7.5/US5.5/UK5 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 24.9cm)

excellent used condition. rubber midsole shows some impression marks however remains soft & flexible, free from both wet & dry rot. the thin layer of foam insulating the internal heel counter has perished however. the foam has crusted & pooled at the base of the heel & will require some diy surgery to remove the tricot lining, & release the foam fragments. thereafter comfort/wear will be unaffected but as-is will cause discomfort
