Launching Saturday, April 2nd, 2022, DEFCON has alerted us to their latest collaboration with Vans. These are the most advanced shoes they’ve offered yet and there will be two models as well as some clothing.
Defcon resumes regular programming after seeing March’s collaboration with Half Face Blades sell out in less than 90 seconds.
It’s been three years since the last Vans x DEFCON release, and with after market prices fetching $1k+ for a pair of shoes, DEFCON reminded us that you’ll need to have your account locked and loaded this weekend.
The current capsule features a Woodland Camo print, with every pair featuring a varied and random pattern placement. No two pair will be alike. The internal shape has been modified to accommodate a slightly wider front toe utilizing the VLT construction, new insole and gusseting system, and most notably the inclusion of the Gore-Tex liner, making this build the best performing to date.
They are extremely comfy. I wore a pair around town yesterday.
There are also some very cool customizations throughout.

I have both black multicam models and would like to add these but I am sure that it will prove difficult battling with the hypebeasters and their bots.
Not sure if I missed it, but does enyone know what time these are scheduled for release on 04/02?
I believe it slated to be released at 7pm PST
It looks like that at Tactical Distributors you sign up for a lottery. If you’re name is picked, you can then buy them.
Which I kinda like. Don’t have to beat the bots, it’s all just the luck of the draw.
Thank you JustAnother1 and Sasquatch.
what’s the password to defcongroup.com
There is no password to buy. That’s for owners to do site maintenance. Site will go live at drop.
What time will the shoe be dropped on defcon’s site?
its for friends and family sales right now
