Amazing size and EXTREMELY RARE pair of classic 2008 Vintage Old Skool Pro Vert sneakers. We originally bought them for a modeling shoot but I kept them afterwards since they were my size and so awesome. They were impossible to find back in 2008 and are now totally inexistent. Artist Jeff Phillips (the creator of the infamous "Screaming Hand") did this artwork for one of Grosso's earlier 80's boards made by Santa Monica... one of the most sought after boards due to the skater and the artist. This is the only pair listed on ebay currently. These were used for about six months. I mostly wore them around Hermosa Beach and never for actual skating or sports. I replaced the insoles with expensive and more comfortable sport insoles after a few months. The insoles are black and very comfortable and cut perfectly to fit into the sneakers. These sneakers are not BUSTED... but are definitely used... the condition based on looks is about a C-8+ or better... they look amazing and extremely clean. The soles have about 75 percent maybe more usage remaining... the outside heals show the majority of the wear. The right shoe has some of the red fabric in heel cup worn away from usage (it was slightly loose on me and had a bit of heel movement wearing down the red fabric a bit... still functional and without issues). Overall these are in very good plus+ to excellent used condition. Honestly you don't usually find such clean sneakers that are used. They look awesome. The tone on tone black is the coolest. Extra pair of new black laces included. Black nylon dust bag included. Vans shoe packing paper included. Original "GROSSO" logo hang tag included. And the box is included but fair showing some wear from age and storage... however all flaps present and the side locking pieces still attached. We will ship these with care and hopefully they end up in the hands of a collector who knows the history behind this skater and artist. And of course nothing but the sneakers, box, paper, tag, and extra laces is included in this auction... the pics of old decks and artwork are for reference. Be well and stay healthy.
