Trying to compile a Complete list of Original Nike Vandal colorways - Calling All Historians

[scottrenus]

***Updated 3/14/2017, with the addition of the purple/yellow colorway (#9440 in the photo) and updated strap colors***

Hello,

I am attempting to make a list of all of the Vandal colorways that came out in the '80s. This has been a tougher task than I originally thought. It seems like every time I think I have a "complete" list, I see a random picture of a new colorway that I've never seen before. There are a few catalog pictures that are a good start, but there are many more not pictured that are out there. I am asking for your help on this one. What am I missing? I have one pair of lows listed below; surely there are more. Let's collaborate and see if we can find this complete list. I will start this thread with the work I've done.

Thank you in advance for your help.

-Ryan

Nice topic & love the Doc's Orange Canvas One. Anyway..., I've got to mention the CDG joints (there was also black one) released lil more than 10 years ago. One of the shoes I still regret that I didn't copp...

Oh..., sorry guess I wasn't reading careful enough to realize the OP was saying
"Vandals that came out in 80's"...

 

[scottrenus]

No worries at all. I appreciate this shoe in all of its glory! Never get tired of seeing more pics of the Vandal.

Scott, thanks so much for posting this. The Vandal has become criminally underrated with time, and it seems locating pics of the OGs is near-impossible. Like, I've been a huge fan of them for a long time yet only found out abut the Lows last year, haha. Madness

Unfortunately, I don't have much else in the way of other OG colours, bar this Washington University one, I'm guessing to go with their legendary AJI SMU? Here it is:

Insane colourway, I am sure you will agree. Seems to be the only two-toned upper on an original pair?

Btw, I am fairly sure the orange, red, royal with just white are part of a pack.I swear I have seen a black pair too, but can't find an image.

Here are some different pics of some of the ones above:

You have these down as burgundy above, but aren't they both the same purple/silvers that had a reissue early-00s?

Another pic of the gold/navys. Wild colourway. Fairly sure in your pic of them above the silver pair has a different strap with a patch, the Supremes usually only have hoops, no patch

Keep 'em comin'!

 

[ihadthose]

Oh yeah, and these! I know they're only a PE of an existing OG colourway or something, but LLAMA??? Weird product code on collar, too. Wish I could see more...

 

[scottrenus]

@ihadthose Thank  you for your input. I have updated the original post to include the white/purple/yellow pair. Those are crazy! Those PEs are awesome as well. I'm not even going to try and figure out how many PEs existed. Tracking down the ones that were released to the public has been difficult enough.

Thanks!

Thank you for this thread. I am currently in search of the silver pair. I had the retro but was too big. So hard to find. sad.

 

[scottrenus]

You bet! Still trying to add to this list.

 

[ihadthose]

Just going through some old Japanese webpages (still loads of killer Geocities sets out there!) and found these. All duplicates, but some nice, worn-in pieces, plus the red/white pair with the strap on

[scottrenus]

@ihadthose  Thanks! I will update the post later this afternoon. Great pics!

 

[ihadthose]

No bothers, will add more soon when I can get through all my pics again

Btw, that purple/yellow pair above is definitely just the burgundy pair in off lighting. The only purple OGs are the purp/silvers and the Washington PE, as far as I know
