Also, I feel bad for all you guys who asked to be on the reserve list, but have to cancel due to funds. It sucks, but let's just say that we all had fair warning, long before the Syndicate x W)Taps set released. Same goes for those of you hitting me up to be added to the list this past week. Those who are firm In4mation supporters jumped on early. Those on the fence with this release, jumped on next. Then, the rest came, maaaybe after seeing the buzz start to build (aka HYPE). Please don't use OTWS for your hype purposes. In4mation reached out to us in the past, even with the old OTWS, and for some lucky reason, we continue to get to do these special, exclusive preorders with them. We never ask why, we just embrace it. It may end with this release, who knows?!? Those of you on some shoe bandwagon make OTWS look bad when you back down, because that pair you thought you wanted, could've been a pair they could've reserved for another friend or shop supporter. Just keep that in mind, because I believe most of us here want to protect the OTWS reputation as a whole. In other words, don't fuck this up for the rest of us.
Don't take it personal!

I was wondering about exactly what you just discussed. I was hoping their wouldn't be people reserving and backing out just for the sake of tarnishing the rep of this site. I was referred to this site by my good friend, when at the time, I was just a casual Vans collector. Now, Vans have become my primary desire, I look to the site/forum more so than ever and it's people like yourself, crisone, wolf, geek, lookdown, ryanskeet, akamedaniel, erwin, luisnskates, music city, and a bunch of other board members on here that make this the best place for Vans related content. Once again, can't thank you and Keith enough for making this release a non-stress issue.

No problem, and yeah soo much good Vans stuff went on during the downtime of OTWS. It was definitely harder to find info, or at least it was spread out and not centralized like it is now. I wanted to revive the blog, as the way to get newcomers, and the forum was for our own personal use, to share info, sell, help do pickups, etc. Now I use the forum as a big part of my blog source, because you guys keep dropping info in here, that I can use on the blog. I don't have all the time in the world to scour the internet looking for news, so I utilize as much original content as I can get. Our WDYWT thread helps a bit . I remember, the IN4M website sold out of the blue/gum chukka lows, and I made a call that morning when they opened, and got in a phone order, for an 11.5. Lucked out, cause them shits went quick. And about a year later, Crisone hooked me up with the In4mation laces, because my pair didn't come with them! That was over on SC forums, too. If that forum didn't sell out, and turn all "Complex Media Network" on everyone, then it would still be as dope as it used to be. Everyone's after the money these days, and that's how they measure success. I measure success by who recognizes you. In4mation recognizes us. Other known shops recognize us. Hell, Brant is Syndicates #1 pusher, and he bends over backwards for us. OGs and new guys! That's just one of many. We got guys from In4mation, Primitive, RIF.LA, Footage, Vans OTW, and OG sneakerheads that support us as well, like Crisone, Samcolt12, and what about erwin...Europes biggest Vans head (behind Dimitri Coste!). We are of quality, not quantity. I think it garners some real respect. You're all a part of it people! Just sayin'

Thanks to all for your answers. I did not know the in4mation crew so far, but if you say they are legit, i trust you. I just wait for a pair, and only one pair, for my collection.

OTWS is a great community.

If I were to get an invoice where would it appear once I logged on to PayPal? do I click something to see it?

If your Paypal is connected to your email, you'll get an email for a Paypal invoice.

I always wish I was more into the in4 colorways for my own personal wear... I can't believe I've never gotten any, what with the relationship they have with us at OTWS! This one is definitely my favorite so far, but I still couldn't see myself wearing them. Perhaps the next one! And I'm pumped for everybody who's getting a pair this time, too!
