- How to Spot Fake Vans Old Skools
Gram-Nation does a video guide on how to spot fake Vans Old Skools by comparing them to Old Skool Replicas.
Editor's Notes:
1. If your shoes were bought from a Vans Retail Store, then they are guaranteed to be originals and not fakes.
2. Shoe sizes US 8.5 and below have 7 eyelids while size 9 and above have 8.
3. The pricing mentioned in the video is accurate because of a term called “differential pricing” (price discrimination) and is influenced by the economics of my region. Pricing brackets may vary and differ from your region.
4. Real Vans are also manufactured in China. China does have facilities that manufacture fakes and those places are no way affiliated with Vans.
5. The Replica’s in this video are fake. They are NOT produced by Vans. They are NOT a manufacturers defect, display/show model, or a shoe sampler.
6. Vans does offer many variations and customizable options when it comes to their shoes. This video is a guide and may not reflect every type Vans sneaker. It is a comparison with the Original Classic Old Skool to that of a cheap knock off.
7. Two sets of fakes were purchased from China for $24.99 CAN for the purpose of this video. The wear tests of the fakes do not hold up to that of the originals. In under a week of normal wear the soles on the fakes were deteriorating, something that does not happen to originals. Even the abuse of skateboard use did not damage the originals. These fakes do not last, nor do they remain in decent condition after wear.
Very very helpful content.....
👍👍👍👍
You got fake ones right?
You just told the fake production how to make a perfect fake vans shoe.
sadewa whah yep
They already know ,they can get away with this because they are not 100% the same
sadewa whah no they can’t be perfectly the same that would be copyright they can get arrested and yea they did copy but they can get away with it by saying oh the shoe is much taller and has a different color
@@syner6970 they do care
@@maxxo3963 not all care at all cuz if they did then they wouldn't be making counterfeits.... And shipping them here...
This video just saved my reputation at school LOL!
@7.16v that's cold😂
That's really sad how you care what other people think of you
@@nachonachos2185 I was just joking
@@nachonachos2185 yuo
TJ51 hahah same lots of girls like me now lmao
The number of lace holes don't matter as the size of the shoe depends on how many holes there are
who would make a fake version of a 60 dollar shoe💀
ChillVibesOnly you get fakes for less than 9 dollars here in India
My vans were like 70 bucks ;-;
It could cost up 130 dollars, here in Sudamerica
ChillVibesOnly they’d make fake vans with in less price and sell u at a higher rate .its not u wanna buy a fake one....it’s that they’ll fool you🙂
@@h3rwrl Ey I paid 92 dollars (70 pounds). According to americn companies 70 dollars = 70 pounds in UK. So stupid.
I get mine from the actual vans store 💀
I get them either from vans.ca or zumiez
I buy mine from the website
How much is the rate for these black and white pair
Asos
Got mine from urban outfitters:/
It depends also the type of old skool you are referring to in terms of lace eyelets. In all canvas old skool vans with metal eyelets ,it only have seven
Looking for comment that same of my thoughts hahaha yah true cause my vans has 7 lace eyelets... And i bought in vans outlet...
&& ppl fr finna look at other ppl's shoes and be like " yeah yo shoes are fake " 💀
When I was in 6th grade some wack kid on my bus would stare at the other kids shoes and then go ya shoes fake your poor and then move seats it was weird
Yes! That will happen! It happens with clothes and shoes!
Also, if you throw your vans on the floor they should always land top side up
Literally threw them as soon as I read this to check, fastest most reliable way to check -thanks-
I got one pair of vans from THE ACTUAL VANS STORE but i also got one pair yesterday at Famous Footware.
I need to check if any of the pairs are fake
xXFoxyXx both are real
Also the real vans were made in China,I'm sorry to say🙄
Yeah I believe so mine too
China and Vietnam mostly,it is rare nowadays to spot vans originals made in USA for the reason that Vans was sold to VF corp.
They originated from Anaheim were I was born
Yep on the same production line as the originals .He says fakes wear out quicker ,can he prove this .They all look flimsy design .Working boot they are not
my vans are made in vietnam
I have black vans but they didn’t come in either box😂
Jazmin Guadarrama o no
[RIZE] ima sue!🤣
Jazzy G same 😂😂
There's blue box for Vault type of vans
who the hell would wear fake vans...
@Kdawg #Louisi-Animal who the hell produced them n y lol
I would
You
No really coz I wouldn't I don't wear fake stuff. So must take with my vans😁😅😂✨💞♥️☺️
@@fucknut8856 broke ass nigga
I buy my shoes in footlocker so what's good? 😂
Zumiez??
Lol I bought my Van's from footlocker and thought they were fake

@@sandra8164 ME TO F
I go vans,footlocker and JD sports for my clothes
I got a fake one from a Chinese store for $8
They dont get more real then thT
I hot from Thailand for less
Lol
Dude is kind of on point, but also kind of off. Vans has literally 1000's of variations. And that's including Floor Models, Direct From Retail and Show Models. Alot of these aren't even released directly to the public, they are even more exclusive then some Vans releases Exclusives. And with these, Show Models for example, they may not have the sizing tags inside the tongue, they may only have the size printed inside the tongue because they aren't meant to sell, they are meant for modeling. But these are made with the same materials. They're just about as exclusive as it gets aside from fake Gucci, Supreme, ect. customs that people print themselves. Now those, even though they may be 'real vans', they are fake knock offs that someone printed or colored themselves. Be aware, I mean vans go anywhere from 35 bucks to 1,000 bucks and up. And I'm a Van's head myself, have easily just under 100 pairs set up in Drop Front Boxes and others that I haven't worn, just collect. But yes, there are fake Vans out there, but there are so many variations, you can't rely on just a video to give you all of the 'this means it's fake' staples. And aside from that, I've ordered a slew of Vans from the Vans online store a some times you get a pair that is noticeably a bit of a manufacturer error. I just send them back and get a new one if it's in stock. But some, you can't get a new one because once their sold out, their gone. Got the all white Mickey old schools, came in with a small black mark on the back side of the right shoe. Wanted to send it back for a new one, but Vans had already sold out of my size. So, I kept them, their collectors. Some of these so called 'fakes' are just manufacturering errors. Just a little info on the topic.
I have original shoe. all are correct except the 7 hole and it is size 6
mine too. all things like the real ones but there are 7 hole not 8.
Same here...my shoe's size 6...and have 7 holes....so its original hahaha
Same
Real and fake have 7 eye holes
Nehir Çelik same i have 7 hiles
If anyone’s asking “why would they make a fake inexpensive shoe” people like myself make custom shoes and buy shoes in bulk, so you have to be careful of what you buy.
I dont really care whether its fake or real . . . Im gonna put it on my feet after all ☺
then what are you doing here
@@hennkanji6545 watching random video probably
The padding can be in different colors also they do have different color vans old skool but further them that this video helped a lot! Thank you!
I was so worried mine were fake beacause I didn't know real ones had that little bump in the back where the logo is lol :'D
I bought one from the thrift store and I’ve never seen the design anywhere else before. From the stitching, I would assume it’s original because it’s near perfect. The shoe also feels solid and heavy but I’m just curious as to whether this shoe was a vintage or really old model which was discontinued. Anyone willing to verify this for me I would be highly appreciative
Background music is too loud!
watching this after buying fake vans 😭😭😭
its acually 30-90 the prices..
Who wear fake shoes when Van's dont cost but like 50 bucks??
I saw someone at school with fake old skool vans
fake ones are 20 bucks. Just got one.
Slip ons might be $50. Old skool is $65.
@@kmrskates oh my goodness not a difference of a whole 15 dollars 🤯
in certain country which currency is lower than US dollar the price will be higher and its kind of expensive like my country Malaysia and you are so lucky enough to live in America where all good shoes stuff like Adidas nike vans can buy in affordable normal price while us we pay it for hundred Malaysia Ringgit
Best way to get real vans go to the actual VANS store
Easy asf
we dont have any in my local mall but there is a new mall that just opened up it might have a vans store
The bottom of my shoes are dark brown
Yours are real, those kind of old skool vans are different
That's probably Ward
@@indecisive69_ are wards real?
Yeah mine are ward and yes ward are real they are just not in the vans website
@@viannccaa mine are ward hi are they real?
Heres some tips
1 go to the vans store
2 go to any place in the mall that sells real brands famous footwear etc
3 don't buy vans on amazon or ebay
Thanks. Mine are real👍
@@eliudalaniz1900 Yeah its safe
@@eliudalaniz1900 They still should be fine maybe it's a different version if you have that checkmark make sure it's not too wide
Some kid 3 years younger than me said “THOSE ARE FAKE VANS” and I was like wtf since when. So very helpful, they weren’t fake, and I bought them at Journeys sooo
Very educational. Distinguishes fake easier. Thanks a ton
the number of holes for laces is base of what shoe size you wearing , mine has only seven holes but i bought it on actual vans outlet fr fr
it has 8 holes on sizes up US 9 and 7 holes sizes US 8.5 and below
Mine has 6 eyelets and it's of size US 5
I got mine from an outlet mall that cost 47 bucks is that real?
Anything from the actual store, the website, or the vans outlet store are real (I would know)
Mine is 50 dollars is that real
Never mind I have the real box
Feels like I’m playing spot the difference
Same
Who cares if they're fake bruh they're VANS!! They're like 50-60 dollars they're not priced like yeezys or some Gucci 😂
Still,ur gon regret buying fakes 🤷🏼♂️
@@tobiramasenju880 how though? It's not like we'll be scarred for life when we buy fakes? Dafuq
@@hyperionxf4329 still,why waste ur money on a fake when u can save up a lil more to get the real shoe🤷🏼♂️
@@tobiramasenju880 what's the difference though? Fakes are like 10-20 dollars and yet they still look, feel the same. I don't use vans but I just don't get it.
Is it because of the branding? They're the same.
@@tobiramasenju880 and they're like 60 dollars. Fake kobes cost more. Lmao
Wtf I didn’t even know there was a such thing as “Fake Vans” 😐
Thanks for this bro I bought my vans for around 50$ cuz they were sale for christmas and I used this video and everything the real vans should have it has
This is well researched, I learned a lot thanks to this.
Thanks man .........
useful information
Fake is fake
What is fake
Thanks alot man because I saw some vans with the shark bape collab and I didn't know if it was fake so thanks for the pointers to look out for...nice video BTW...I subbed! :)
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION MY VANS ARE NOT FAKE, so everytime he says something I look at my vans😂🤣🙄😁
lol same I have the black and white old stool and they are a size 5.5
lol same I have the black and white old skool vans and they are a size 5.5
Mine are from the vans store in the mall so they are real
Ja ons moet vat
The scammers have already upped their game. I bought my fakes and it’s quite accurate compared to the real one.
Do I regret it? Heck no! I just want a pair of sneakers that looks good.
got mine for 15$ 😂😂
theyre real btw
You should know that vans has different factories and they both use different formats
Thanks! This video helped me a lot. Made me super confident to legit checked my pair. Thanks a lot.
i went to trattford centre and walked into the vans store. i assumed it was real and brought them for £80 but now im questioning.
Hey, all vans stores are real dw about that. Plus I go to Trafford Centre to and they are defo real
@@israr5480 alright, thank you! (:
If you bend them and the heel easily tip touches the heel, then those are fake
I need help I bought vans from JD but they has a tag on the saying on ly from jd does that mean they are fake because they look real
So funny, the reproductions actually look better than thd originals hahah
Exactly
I thought I had vans old skool and I panicked cause there were 6 holes, but upon further research I just realised I have vans ward
But the wholes is also depends on ur foot size
I cant stand people talking with the music on! Come on, it is unhearable!!!!
Thanks for the feedback. I noticed that afterwards that is why I created subtitles.
You could also just look for the . With the R in middle of it
The retail price is actually from 50$
Here in Philippines, legit old skool costs 70 USD and fakes for 6 USD.
Is the 'suede' on the real ones real or fake? These that have just arrived for my son are clearly fake but have a couple of the features of genuine ones.
Thanks for that wonderful info about I have one just bought only 2 days ago....my Van's is original...😍
The price one isn't a good marker for identifying fakes. Plenty of skate shops, normal retailers, and popular shoe stores will discount shoes well under $50 if they normally go for $65. If you're paying more than $65 for Old Skools not counting tax, you're getting ripped off by that store.
Thanks for this, made me feel better about them
Who cares if they're fake lmao they look the exact same
According to this video my Vans aren't fake except for the fact that the box doesn't have a "flap" to "lock" the box with it. Does this mean that they are fake even though all the other things seem to be fine?
I immediately go to check my Vans because I bought it by online shop and I find it real😹
I saw one that has a red rubber below, is it fake?
Doesen't have to be
Some vans are from the vans website but that doesn’t mean there fake like for say if you go to kohl’s they have models you can buy that vans don’t have the vans factory gives them the shoes that they chose.
Pretty much. That’s why you don’t see The Wards on their website. They are sold in other retail sporting stores.
Are the Vans at Tilly's real or fake?
Great job!👍 really helpfull💓
What’s the point of buying the fakes cuz vans are soo cheap
Buying fake is advantage who is gonna check that it is fake or real
I do know one thing, almost all Van's classic models are super uncomfortable!
My vans are comfortable
Mine aren’t uncomfortable, although the first few days of wearing them I was getting massive pain on the back of my ankles to the point where they bled because of blistering. Now there’s a scar but they’re fine
i’ve never gotten blisters from my vans, even when i first got them
vans era is the most comfortable. theyre brittle as hell though. 1 year of regular use and the midsoles are cracked and separated. they should glue them, not vulcanize
it's actually 50 to 80 or above depending on what it looks like
I buy mine at a Van's store. I have for years. There between 5 and 7 eye holes depending on style of shoe.
Also depends on the size as well.
I got mines in the mall at the van store so I'm good!
I got the checkered slip on vans
And the ones like them in the video but dark dark navy blue with the little checkered board design on the sign!!
Side not sign
But when the fake one looks more legit😓
Thank God, mines real!!! Just bought it today and thought if it was fake lol
Nice video,i am glad that i have the originals 😅😊
Hello! I found your video helpful, but I have one question, I have a couple pairs of VANS, see how the indicator on the bottom of your shoes says CLK, mine says DT, but everything else you mentioned match the real VANS, can you tell me if they are real or fake? Thanks
J Richard real
Thanks for the help dude!
Wow thanks a lot,,, now im confident that i owned a real one... thanks so much
First off who buy fake vans their not that much
Thank you so much but I'm disappointed.😅While watching I put my vans beside me and I compared every signs you've said and all of them matched my shoes, I thought I was safe until the lace holes came in to end my shoes carrer. 😂 It have 7 holes and metal ring!! Goddammit..😆
And off course its made in China.
Vans are so low quality. I like the way they look but they use cheap material that fades and gets dirty in a very short time. They also are very uncomfortable for walking any decent distance as they have no arch support. There is a high chance that the fakes may be made using better material and are more comfortable.
Great tips, however the backing track was super annoying i couldn't watch all the way through, thanks though
Fascinating video thank you
For the price of these shoes, why buy fakes it’s super cheap at the mall or any Vans outlet shops.
Another thing is the weight
can you get them with black stiches instead of white? cause i feel like they are fake tbh
Mine doesn't have the stripe does that mean it's fake?
If it's these ones, the old skools then I'd say yes. But there are different types like the very basic ones don't have a stripe
Why would someone buy fake vans if they are really cheap
I’ve just bought some and they look genuine but they have a reddish sole and the vans logo inside is kinda smudged looking, I’m wondering if it’s just the insoles that are dodgy or if the shoes are fake?
Toss your vans in the air with gentle force and if the shoe lands flat on the soul its real, easy as that.
sometimes my vans os land flat but sometimes it does not, i worry its half fake 💀
Who actually feels the need to make a fake version of a shoe that’s already cheap and reasonably priced
I bought black hightop Airforce 1s and vans at Famouse Footware i was just wondering what fakes look like
tbh. i dont think this woman is helping much. i did buy a fake one and tbh, it kinda looked like what she said is the real one
LMAO MY FAKE VANS GOT ALMOST ALL THE THINGS REAL ONES HAVE. I bought them for like 12 bucks haha fuck yeah.
Do Journeys sell real van shoes or are some fake?
What letters are on the bottom of vans shoe or are they fake ?
If vans are made in china it's fake to me Vans shoes should be made in the US The original shoes were made in the US When the company was formed the shoes were made in Anaheim,California
I got my Vans from the Vans shop sooooo...... that’s how I know there are real
