Sorry for the late blog post about these, but DEFCON really does a great job of keeping things classified until go time, and they understand that they’re in high demand, so they try to cater to their loyalists first. I wasn’t able to get any official pics until the website went live today, and I was able to get some official press release info from a classified source. I’ll take what I can get. This pack was supposed to release alongside the rest of the ComfyCush shoes a few months back, which something else you may not know, the entire ComfyCush campaign was supposed to launch at ComplexCon, but thankfully that didn’t happen. I still have trouble prying the ComplexCon exclusive Steve Van Doren Funko Pop! out of resellers hands on eBay, and they have no real connection to SVD or Vans! Sorry, I’m sounding like everyone else when I talk like that. Anyways, this is the first time, and possibly the last? time we see a DEFCON Vault release! Pretty cool, and I’m glad to see the Old Skool make it’s way back. Oh, and what about the apparel that released alongside the shoes? Finally we get some hoodies! All of it’s Made In The USA too, so pay up suckers! It’s worth it.
