Thoughts on Vans sneakers

Just got myself a fresh pair for $20, aztec striped. Some people think they're the greatest thing ever, but some people think they look stupid, personally I like them but I'm not crazy.

What do you guys think?
 
i love them. I have like 4 pairs that are ripped up from longboarding. also great shoes to wear in the Spring when you take your ski boots off to walk to your car
 
It's taken me ages to realise authentics are pretty rubbish, especially in terms of skating. 10 ollies and woop, u got a hole

We always say that you'll get ten kickflips out of them, but they'll be the best ten kickflips you've ever done.

I personally like chukka lows or half cab pros to skate in. I have two pairs of accels though, so I'll be skating those for a while.
 
They're really comfy once broken in, but I haven't even started skating yet an I got some scuffs and stuff. Damn do they look good
 
the slip ons are the bomb dot com eccept the checkered ones, i wouldnt wear those im not living in the 90s
 
They're shit for durability but they're also incredibly cheap and comfy so I can deal. I currently own 7 pairs, only 2 of which aren't completely ripped up from grip tape.

Buying Vans Sneakers will turn you into a Pink Name: Confirmed
 
We all agree that vans durability is absolute trash.

But there is nothing worse looking than a brand new pair of vans. If they aren't broken in and have wear and tear then they look awful.
 
Just got these:

they are made for wearing without socks, aka ideal for summer
 
I have a pair of the Chimas and they're awesome. I wanted something to fill the gap between boots and flip flops and they're perfect. They kinda suck to break in but once you get them dialed they're great

I bought a pair and they shredded in a week. Like right up from the sole to the ankle. Fuck vans

Did you drag a toe? How in the world did you manage this?

I get kickflip holes almost every time...

But that happens to every shoe.

I dragged a toe when I was longboarding once. That was kind of catastrophic... but nothing my Janoski's wouldn't have done.

I didn't do anything like that. I rode bmx in them for a week. Nothing super major either.
 
How do u wear out the upper part, I always destroy the rubber part until the bottom and sole wear away and seperate
 
It's all about Sk8 Hi Zips and Old Skools. I have an ongoing collection of many different silhouettes

I cant wear shoes without socks. I sweat way too much from every part of my body

my dad was on his show

My dad went to school with his son and tripped acid in his house /claim

Also vans are comfy, I have a pair that barely function as shoes anymore but I just can't retire them
