What are you doing next Thursday? You’re hanging out with me at @blendscm for our first of hopefully many #WAFFLEHEADS meet and greets! We need to get back to what we’re all about, and that’s community and making friends. Everyone’s invited, even dogs if they can read this! (No seriously, bring out your awesome and friendly dogs). If you’re a fellow Wafflehead, then represent and introduce yourself! We’ll have some cool stuff going on, like free chainstitch customization for anyone who purchases a Vans Chore Coat; Free giveaways; event-exclusives; AND THE VANS TEAM WILL BE ON SITE SERVING UP THEM WAFFLES ON A STICK FOR US! Don’t miss out! #blendscm #underthepalms #strictlywaffles #vanscollectors #theauthenticera #vans

My young nephew @d.x.mien stopped by this weekend, so I gave him a few goodies, including one of our mini sticker-paks, inspired by the same ones some of us used to get as a kid in the Vans store! We’ll be throwing these in with each tee order, and there’s a few different ones. Save & Trade! (Love that my self-made accessory took precedence over the Sup Band-Aids I also gave him, πŸ˜‚) #underthepalms #utp #stevenazar #strictlywaffles #stickerpak

Un-Official release pic of Billy Bulldog’s first appearance on a tee, by my boy @fjzthree and reposted by @stevenazar who created the character for me πŸ™πŸ½πŸ€™πŸ½. We’ll be posting a pre-order soon, and each pre-order will include a free collectible UTP Sticker-PAK. Save & Trade ’em! #underthepalms #stevenazar #billybulldog #vanscollector #forusbyus #butnotFUBU #VANS

#vansblackrainbows event here in Venice, CA “DOG TOWN”. Got to experience an epic night here, listening to how Skateboarding as we know it today, all started out. @thetonyalva1957 @jimreddogmuir @ericdressen @peggy_oki @therealjeffho and @berlehaggard reppin’ for the new generation! #dogtown #zboys #vans #era #theauthenticera #underthepalms

Day 31 of #31daysofvans and I’m choosing the Vault x @gymstandard OG Old Skool LX in Trekking Green. These are just a perfect shoe, and North Park, San Diego should be proud to call these theirs! And with that, we come to an end of this year’s 31 Days of Vans. Thanks to all who participated and actually kept up each day. Love seeing all the newcomers joining in, as well as the old Waffleheads educating and retelling stories from yesteryear. The community is alive and strong! #v31 #gymstandard #underthepalms #strictlywaffles

Day 30 of #31daysofvans and here we have the Ray Barbee 20th Anniversary Era 87 Reissue LX, in a super dope green colorway. This shoe released alongside a brown Chukka 95 Reissue, and a Black and a White Old Skool 92 Reissue back in 2009. This pair hardly ever comes up for sale and I’d say this one, as well as the black Old Skool are the hardest ones to find, mostly cause people didn’t really collect Vans back then, they just beat em into the ground! #v31 #RayBarbee #underthepalms #strictlywaffles
