I currently wear a vans size 9, my first pair were red checks from Surrey Skateboards and were size 5!

Im Vans Size 9 now. My first pair were black and white slip ons (to go with my diamond back race gear) in size 4. I got them from Alpine Action in notting hill. I remember sitting down at the bench outside McDonalds to put them on, and the brand new waffel soles were really tackey.

Awesome, I used to go to Alpine when they had BMX in the basement in high stret ken, the stuff they had was just sick, I wet my pants there and my family had a bike shop! I know what youi mean about tacky Alex, I just got a set of white slips on off the bay that are US made and they even feel tacky despite the fact they're proper NOS! I was sponsored by Vision and Dyno for footwear when I raced but I used to just get white low tops, cut the vans label off and put the Dyno laces in!
For me vans are like comp 3's, nothing better has ever come along......

Man that brings so many memories! I used to get the train to Surreys too! I remember two guys racing from the station to buy the last pair of tuff 2's they had in red, i think they were about £50!
I bought my Mike Buff signature Aero pants there, red white and blue with red stars down the side!
