Anyone who's already got hold of them care to say what the sizing is like on them? I usually wear 11.5 in sk8-hi pro's but the biggest I can get my hands on is an 11.

^^^ we at Silo will have them live Wednesday online FDAstore. Some shops in CA have received theirs already, but it's up to their dealer agreement who is able to sell them in store only or on their webstore, etc.

update: while I'm at it:

MSRP as per confirmed by Vans:

SK8-HI OG "S"/(Ice-T) Black : $120.00
CHUKKA DECON "S"/(Ice-T) Black: $110.00

The basic lowdown---- since it was such a crazy difference, I'll try to add some order to the chaos:

So in the nature of complete disclosure, Originally the pricing WAS slated to be 90, back in like February. Then, we received a notice upon booking that the price was changing to 110 / 120. I am adding my 2 cents here, but the gist of what I understood is that the special packaging and the keychain were added on or quoted at the 11th hour, and the goodies caused the price increase.

Some shops booked their pairs right away and never looked back, or paid attention to the changes. Every account will be charged the correct price as I understand it, and is expected to charge msrp as stated. I can only assume some accounts didn't understand, or put their pairs on the shelf before seeing their invoice (as it usually comes a few days later). Things should be rectified as notices are posted.

Sorry for all the confusion guys... at least we are the 1% of sorts.... so we tend to see everything, while most consumers won't have had to have taken this roller coaster ride with us. Stressing me out ;)

^^^ mackiv, i am definitely empathizing with the trouble it caused. Take one extra special, pretty well kept under wraps release, and then have shops do something stupid (thats harsh, but my opinion) and it devalues the launch and perception. Very similar to the supreme / rack type scenario. But it was, from what I can see, a very small slice of the pie.... and long term, end all be all, this is one for the history books and one that I believe should be celebrated and collected. Thats more than my 2 cents of course.
