Long Live the Mastodon Vans!

Nike effectively put a nail in the coffin of the Chuck Taylor mythos when they bought Converse.
The Chucks are dead, long live the Mastodon Vans!

Normally I wouldn't give a shit about packaging, but the tissue paper wrapping the shoes is imprinted with the crazy antlered monster (also on the shoe box). It's like wiping your ass with a Van Gogh print (oh yeah, I reuse, reduce, and recycle).

Shoes worthy of crossing the "Siberian Divide," ascending to the "Capillarian Crest," and climbing Blood Fuckin' Mountain!

More pics below. Damn, my legs are pasty!
