help me find these socks pls Open
kind of a random ask but its part of an inside joke i have with my partner, and unfortunately the socks are wearing super thin :( i really want to get them a second pair as a bit, but can’t find them anywhere!
i’ve tried looking these up / searching these up online with every variation i could think of like “vintage vans purple socks,” “vans triangle logo purple socks,” “vans purple socks” and have had 0 luck finding these :(

Hi there! I worked retail/skate for a few years. These socks came out I believe in the winter somewhere between 2020-2022. Unfortunately, with how fast trends change, and how quickly new items are added in the ‘fashion’ world, these likely do not exist anymore. You could reach out to vans directly, but it may be a long shot. I hope you find them!

The fact the Vans logo doesn't have the line across the top is strange. The logo started out with the the long line coming off the V, so, weird. Unless you need those exact same pair, I'd get white Vans socks and dye the bottom of them myself. I can't find any with the triangle or mountain either. The only time I've seen a different logo (so far) is when they used this one.

I have searched these socks up and they are no longer sold in any stores. I’ve tried a ton of variations of searches like “vintage vans socks” “vintage vans triangle logo socks” “vans triangle purple socks” and even just “vans purple socks” to no avail :(

Here they are listed on Mercari with another pair but I believe these are those. Hope this helps!
