I think people wear them because they like them. Like every single teen or young adult in my city wears vans whether they skate or not.
Synewsho people definitely started wearing them when they became a trend. Before if you wore vans then you were weird.
Which city?
I skate and that's why I wear vans but most people just wear them just cause and there's no problem with that. It's just fact
They're relatively affordable, fairly durable, offer a plethora of colors that are easy to match to most outfits. It's not surprising that they're popular outside of skateboarders.
Synewsho I’m 40 and I wear Vans because they’re comfortable, durable and reasonably priced.
My daughter went to school at Laguna College of Art & Design, Vans is a huge sponsor of the college and even made each student their own custom pair based on the students design 😊👍🏻
Lasagna college
Omg that’s so coolllll
Congratulations!
Pinoy?, Hi!
Damn thats pretty cool
As a teacher, Vans is the 3rd most shoe brand I see my student wearing with Nikes/Jordans and Adidas being one and two.
Nike?
Sskxies Sskxies Nike is the one I see the most
Lol, in the west coast (where I live) 90% of the students wear Vans, no joke.
In general, Vans, Nike and Adidas are pretty much all I see. I see a few Chuck Taylors here and there, but not nearly as much as I did ten years ago.
I don't seem to see many generic brand shoes, which I find interesting.
@@madisonl.607 same, I live in socal and like 80% of all people (not just teens and students) wear Vans lol
The things popular in my school
1: Champion shirts
2: scrunchies
3:Van's
4: Nike air force
Three of these I do not have and I only have one pair of Van's that no one wears.
MooCloud_123 • tell me why I own all of these things 😂
@@fabiyanez0 cool that will make you more likable in my class
@@Emer745 It's pathetic lul. I want vans, but the amount of people wearing them at my school makes it a hard choice lul
@@E3T7 the only ones people wear at my school are checkered ones
@@Emer745 At mine that's probably the most popular, (and the one I am most interested in unfortunately...) but I've seen a good amount of others.
Three types of people that wear Vans.
1.) Trendy kids that wear skateboard clothes but have nothing to do with it.
2.) Skateboarders, BMXers, because it’s literally one of the staple brands.
3.) You’ve been wearing them for 20 years.
Inspiration _ our just people who want to be trendy
bmxers?
Nice pfp
I’m none of those things I just genuinely like Vans as a company
RyzenStrix Anyone that goes to a skate park that doesn’t Rollerblade it Scooter
Not only luck I say, vans legit look fire on lots of streetwear outfit.....not to mention it’s not overpriced. Therefore it led to their success tdy🙂
LOHX Jeff honestly facts cause I really want a pair of slip ons cause they 🔥
LOHX Jeff honestly vans are kind of plain
YGKTA Young Demi .
YGKTA Young Demi there’s different designs people just buy the plain ones
Theyre super plain
back in the early 80's you could send them a piece of material and they would make you a pair of shoes with it , Super Cool
sounds lit
Imagine sending a paper
Just a small request, but could you possibly do the decline of yahoo? It would be cool seeing you break down their deteriation from their peak to what they are now.
Justin Y. No bitch
Getting you Triggered i know it's your name and all to make people triggered, but why?
Because I'm everywhere
Whoa, you are everywhere.
Justin Y. So, it's still really toxic behavior.
If you live in Southern California you know these have always been popular for decades
Yep
Don’t move to Texas
You ruined Cali and now you’re gonna live with it
Don’t ruin another state
@@Mr6767Will Been wearing them since '73 and still do. Ordered 2 pairs of Vans Vault shoes just yesterday.
@@corbina9849 bro, shut up
I grew up in Southern California in the 70's. Before the movie came out, Vans was already a cool kids shoe, and skateboarders and bmx riders preferred them.
Well, they're made to be skateboarding and bmx shoes. The thick rubber around the bottom is for flip tricks and whatever.
Mason Hills except they rip in 3 days for me and it’s not the rubber that is just for support canvas is wear u would drag to flick or flip the board weather a kick flip or shuv it
@@zach-1307 depends on how you flick the board, personally, I like to flick using the rubber
Mason Hills i would agree but that is the classic way which u see in the 80’s but i feel like i get more controller with the new “pro rubber”
@@zach-1307 Then don't get the canvas tops lol. Problem solved. The great thing about Vans is they have options out the ass.
Vans are simply my favorite shoes... I've owned countless pairs and I will continue to wear them despite if they cease to exist again or not!
Same here love them but they do make ur feet hurt still wear em but I'm loving my running shoes
Now that I have pretty decent means I've been adding coloured ones to my collection.
They're fkn mad.
Yeap! Even though it drives me crazy that my favorite colors are only classic and not pro classic (I prefer the extra padding in the sole) and the custom colors are too limited I still buy and wear them. :D
Yeah, they are a lot more comfortable than converse. Nobody at my school wears converse anymore though, everyone wears vans.
Vans be ripping on the side but besides that, iconic shoe
I'm 44 yrs old and I still rock Vans 🤙
Man you are my idol
@@hari-cg9lb lol😂
sup dad
Shut up jose
Thats awesome!
I think there are two kinds of luck. One is where some random dude hands you a million dollars. That's just pure blind luck. The second is learning how to compose music, write lyrics, and play a guitar; all to excellence, and then playing every day out on a street corner or park. Then some random music producer walks by and listens for a while and then offers to cut a demo for you. That's where you "make your own luck". So yeah I think Vans was lucky, but in the second way.
hmm... right.
If the shoe wasn't what it was, the actor wouldn't think it fit the character well.
I agree. I think maybe the movie sped up the process, but being *the* skater shoe of California, they were eventually going to become popular nationally. Only a matter of time.
Completely agree. This is exactly what I was trying to express in the video but you do it through a perfect example.
raven lord yo I’ll quote you forever! This is amazing
Living in SoCal, Vans has always been a part of life, even before the explosion of checkerboard slip-ons. You didn't need to be a skater, surfer, or whatever. You just needed some feet that you wanted to feel comfy.
matt b same for me but I’m Arizona seen as culture is basically the same as so cal just minus the beach and surfing and stuff
The Vans stand alone stores had once a year the parking lot sale, it was a shit show, wrong sizes in wrong boxes, but you you looked long enough you can find gold for a few bucks. The made in China ones arent even the same shoe original USA ones, thats why everyone I know stopped buying them.
thats the truest statement ive ever seen. vans are in fact comfortable so comfy i can FEEL THE GROUND BENEATH ME
So true, every September I went to the Eagle Rock store to get some Vans for the upcoming school year.
Checkerboard wont ever win to the american flag converse chucks
I absolutely love vans. I just love how compared to other sneaker brands like adidas, nike or puma, they only have a few different types of shoes, being the slip ons, low tops, mid tops and high tops (probably forgot some) with all of them having such iconic silhouettes. They're timeless shoes that, in my opinion, are THE sneaker in terms of looks, and they go with so many different styles and outfits. Hell, you could probably wear them to a dress suit and still look good, and they come in so many different colourations and motives, theres probably no colour you cant find a pair of vans in.
he sounds so drunk if you put it at 0.5 speed
Yes lol
yep
omfg I shat myself
we didnt need to know that
Lol
I miss the days of wearing Vans as a teen, skateboarding, and no one knew what kind of sneakers I was wearing. Vans were a big part of the skateboard, punk rock counter culture at that time. Now they're everywhere. Amazing to see everything from my youth, from Skateboarding, to music, to Vans go from being "weird" to being the norm. The 80's were a special time.
man I’ve being saying the exact same thing…I’m 41 and I’ve been wearing them since I was 21. Back then it was a staple for punk rock and board sports. Now they’re literally everywhere…Yet they still score high in those brand authenticity index reports I see from time to time…how is that even possible I really don’t get it
I remember wearing vans in high school and being talked about and called weird or emo for it. Now everybody and their mama wears them 😂 I hope Aeropostale does the same 🤷🏽♀️
Like what year though? They started becoming popular in 2013
After nipsey hussle and yg really it grew then ...california always rocked vans Chinese Mexican Filipino Vietnamese White taggers skaters stoners even cholos now everybody does back in the 90s the asians in jr high would put those silly Keroppi Hello Kitty Pochacco band aids on their vans 93 baby
Lol I work at bluenotes and they got sold out by YM I think, thats just my assumption cause Aeropostale is gonna be sold in bluenotes locations now. In Canada at least, not sure about the states
@@its_kenny9009 I remember back in 2005 when I was a senior in high school, everybody wore them because of the emo/skaterpunk-hype during these days. Especially the checkerboard slip-on was a typical recognition sign for these "subcultures", thats why I was pretty surprised that the kids started wearing them again nowadays.
No
Square root of ans.
Allie-RX was omw to comment this
Can't unsee it now! haha!
and the ans stands for answer
s^r
Allie-RX lol I always say dat
Vans just look so cool when there really beat up, dirty, drawn on. It just gives them character, I love it
One of mine look dirty beat up ish. Look pretty good
“Fast Times at Ridgemont High” was an iconic movie and was released when I was a freshman in high school. The soundtrack AND the actors all went on to become famous.
Something that's never changed with Vans is how amazing they are with customer service. I saw Unknown Mortal Orchestra at one of Vans many concert halls completely for free with a free tour shirt included. Not only are their shoes amazing, but their values are too! Can't wait to see what they'll come up with next
RonaldoBasedGod I saw Slowdive at the Brooklyn House of Vans this past summer, best show I have ever been to
During the bankruptcy I was wearing converses

Yeah, but the video didn't mention one thing: VANS were *better* shoes. Their market eventually found them!
Everyone in my school has at least one of these things
1: Vans
2: Adidas sweatpants
3: Nike Air Force 1s
4: Champion hoodies/shirts
I couldn't skate for shit but I had the vans.. I think I was a 'poser'
Chuck Keough People wear nikes and don't work out, skate, or play basket ball.
Yea, but wearing Vans put you into an entirely different clique in my high school. Wearing Nike's didn't separate you into a completely different social standing like Vans.
Chuck Keough
Goofy or Regular?
Lol always loved that question.
I could and can skate really good and I love them too. So they're definitely decent shoes, they do rip and wear quick though, the glue on the soles don't last long either.
Ehh if you wore Etnies or DCs n didnt skate, you were a poser...Vans were pretty commonplace.
Huh. Good video. I honestly never knew that Vans ever had a fall.
I disagree that it was luck that propelled them to the mainstream. They created iconic high quality shoes that were popular among the California skating and surfing culture. If it wasn't Fast Times that made them explode, they still would've gone nation-wide, it just might have taken them a little longer. And there's a decent chance that some other movie would've eventually featured them, because they made such a bold fashion statement at time.
Quality shoe? They are uncomfortable and they start to wear out just in a couple months, at least the old skool model. On top of that here they cost €80 for a pair, that s a lot for a shoe that probably is worth half the price
That was back in the day, just imagine if they were a small company starting out now, with RUclips, and all other social media platforms ?
What other skate shoes last longer than Vans ? If you bought a regular pair of sneakers. How long would they last ? A year if your lucky.
@@tudormiller8898 no my pumas lasted 4 years and they're suede vans are ass
@@CVP-og9pw Vans uncomfortable??? You must have some really strangely shaped feet lol. The classic canvas slip-on is among the all time most comfortable street shoes on planet Earth. And mine often last like a year with extreme use, so I dunno what the hell you do with your shoes to kill them so fast. That's a stupid price though. I can go to the Vans outlet store here in Salt Lake City and get last years shoes for around $30-40 a pop + buy one get one 1/2 off so a 2nd pair for like $15-$20. Aka, I can get like 2 pairs over for like 1/2 the price you can get 1 O_O. Europe's taxes be bananas.
The two words that come to mind when I hear Vans is:
1. Damn
2. Daniel
"Back at it again with tha W H I T E VANS"
Dude i literally vear vans all the time and guess what, my name is D A N I E L 👀💀💀😂
great video, but i kinda hoped you would bring up how the skate trends killed them during the 2000s because everyone wanted giant thickass cupsole clunkers, but nowadays skaters want slim vulcanized shoes just like vans so now theyre popular again, especially now that nike and adidas got into the skate scene. they did make a few terrible shoes during that time, but for the most part they stuck to their original design and its bigger now than it has been
In California in the 2000s, Vans were still "the" shoe. I want to say that a solid majority of people who went to my high school wore Vans.(I wanted to, but I was poor.)
darkinertia2 nike SB craze were the GOAT times. Had the most creative colorways and designs by far. Skunks, ray guns, blue lobster, etc
mynintendo I just bought the goodfella hi a few weeks ago off eBay and they hella durable.
It’s funny tho how Nike is trying to make SBs popular again via the Jordan retro tactic but low top sea crystals damn sure ain’t the same.
The new SBs lack the pizazz of those from 2002-2010 tbh
Nice cop mane, them goodfella his are fire.
Yeah, I remember seeing de la soul lows at the outlet for around $85 some months ago and my only reaction was just huh lol. Who knows what happened to SBs after 2010
mynintendo yeah them joints ain’t the same as da OG shit
I wanted to hear about why Warped Tour is going away.
CZsWorld other channels have look it up
Tldr: The zeitgeist of the music scene is no longer rock music, it's hip hop. And festivles are expensive and declining sales won't cover it in the near future
Newer, younger generations (around 11 - 18) are not as interested in going to a rock festivle as our generation was. I remember when I was a kid and going to warped was a huge deal. Now I don't even hear anyone talk about it. Rap is in. Rock is out. Simple as that.
Evan Henderson dude i just wanna mosh and headbang why would they do this to me. They dont even put any thrash bands on the list anymore
It became very strict with their policies. No moshpits what so ever. Not only that but they ditched the whole punk aspect for newer type genres like scene music
CZsWorld because it got so shitty
I like Vans and I'm 50 years old. My nephew is 16-years-old and he wears only Vans. The success of Vans is no mystery, they sell excellent quality shoes at a fair price, and they carry a variety of shoes that is second to none, it will boggle your mind.
I have never seen an actor wear a certain clothing and thought "Damn I want that"
Sometimes actors and any rich and famous individual are influential in what their fans wear, think or do.
Back to the future????nike air mags???
I've once bought a Levis Jeans Jacket, because Ivan Rheon looked very fancy with it in Misfits
As I grade school kid, I and several other boys had to have "Top Gun" jackets from the movie.
I have
In late 00s New Zealand, I remember the chequred vans being popular and associated with the emo/scene kids.
Yeah the slip on ones were associated with the emo kids and old school/ authentic are associated with skaters and just casual wear
Lmao that was everywhere back then 😂
Quackmeister123 and then old skools are just streetwear
Now checkered slid one are used by thots
@@tokesrus2112 ouch. Females who only want to own 3 or 4 pairs of shoes wear them as well.
1 pair of old navy 5 dollar flip flops. Sometimes buy one get one. Ect.
1 pair of van slip ons.
1 pair of dressier shoes. Either flats or fake leather.
And optional tennis shoes if you exercise. Or sandals if you live in warm weather. Or a boot in cold weather.
Most thots would own dozens of shoes. Or own Van's and not wear them
This actually makes me want to own a pair of vans, most companies are pretty shallow but this just makes them oddly likable.
I had a pair of van's checkered slipons and they were the longest lasting pair of comfy shoes I've ever had... ever.
Daniel Wood i have the same pair of shoes. It's insane how there still holding up!!
Daniel Wood it’s because they are built for skating. it’s supposed to be comfy and last long
Kaedon.Jones they aren’t built for skating, certain models are, but regular Vans wear out incredibly fast while skating
I don't understand, some people says vans last the longest, but for others vans get used up for just 3 months of casual wearing, not skating. So I really don't understand.
@@lucyk2634 Depends on how aggressive your kickflip is and what grit your griptape is.
3:30 Vans wasn't initially interested in making shoes for skateboarders but as this became their customer base because of the shoes' affordability from the direct-to-consumer approach as well as the durability, Paul Van Doren quickly made skate shoes his priority. In the Vans employee training videos there's an interview with Paul Van Doren where he talks about it.
They were adopted by skateboarding.
@@FrozakRL water is wet
I love Vans. Me and my bf ordered two custom pairs for our 5 year anniversary. They arrived quickly and we were both very satisfied…
If only I could be as satisfied with him as I was our Vans. 😆
Vans are my favorite shoes. I'm really happy they're still going today. Thank you Vans for existing, thank you Sean Penn for choosing the shoe for his character.
This video really only applies outside of California (southern california specifically), Vans here has never really noticeably fell or rose since i can remember. most types of classic vans (vans authentics, oldskools, sk8 his, etc) are pretty much default in everyones wardrobe for the past decades. Vans here arent a trend its more equivalent to a white t shirt, in southern california, vans are more in the wardrobe category that a pair of jeans and white t shirt reside in, most people have it, its not trendy, its timeless and you can just throw it on. people here dont vview it as a trend but more a just another classic piece of wardrobe that doesnt go out of style. But i can see how it would be wearing vans if youre from missouri or someshit then people would probably see u wearing vans as doing something thats foreign to the environment/ culture your in.
Yeah, I mean... I'm Australian, so when I went to cali at 14 i was super surprised at how ubiquitous Vans were. My cousins always brought me pairs back from the US when they came to Australia.
I jack off on Californians.
In Arizona during the 1980's we had a Vans California Daze in almost every mall. Now we have Vans retail and outlet stores all over the state. Vans never went out of style here either. Not for a minute since the 1980's.
Exactly I’m from so cal lol I know the god son of the creator of vans he’s like an older brother to me
Agreed. In the 60's, my friends and I only wore Levis, white tee shirts and my blue vans and if it was cold, a Derby jacket. Wore that through high school. Still wearing vans
I've been wearing Vans since '82, at the time I was a BMXer. My two newest pairs were purchased last month.
my mom owns 26 pairs of vans... I own 4 lol.

Vans aren’t that fast
i have been been wearing Vans for 2/3 of my life. started when i started skateboarding.
simple, comfy, iconic. love 'em.
I've worn Vans since I was like eight. Exclusively. Their Widow shoes are one of only two that fit my weird feet. The others from Reebok being too expensive to buy, and I don't know if they're even produced anymore. When Vans stops making the Widow style I'm likely to panic.
1. Disregard Vans, and any shoes for that matter.
2. Remove feet.
3. Implant wheels where feet were.
4. ???
5. Success!
Do one on Subway. They just announced they will close 500 locations.
Nolan Schenburn Subway isn't declining. They have over 30,000 locations in the US alone, but they were chasing locations for the record against McDonald's. Now they're pulling back because they overextended
They are also opening 1000 store worldwide www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/04/26/subway-to-close-500-restaurants-across-the-us.html

My favorite Vans are from their boutique line, Vans Vault. They have the tooling similar to the old Made in the USA Vans, which makes them feel special. And they're only like a $10 upgrade from the basic Vans you can buy at the mall lol
TylerTheInventor the chauffeur vans were my favorite. It is sad that they’re gone
Remember my first pair of vans and loving the "waffle iron" on the bottom. My dad didn't like me wearing them due to the association with skater/stoner culture (Pretty sure he was rocking vans while taking back in his day anyway). Nowadays, I buy at least one pair of vans a year. When I need a reliable shoe, I'll end up finding something rather stylish from them. Always wearing vans for reasons other than their intended purpose. If for some strange reason I ever get married, I'll be wearing a black pair of 106s for sure. Look, fuck these writtens, I don't watch 106 and Park
I skate through the park in my 106's
Vans are a go-to of mine because their core line of shoes are all iconic good-quality sneakers at a super affordable price point. All of that combined makes them perfect as a sort of every-day “beater” shoe.
I think that's the underground California culture, they networked REALLY heavy into their niche market. I have a feeling Van's took on a, sort of, independent campaign to become the surfer/skater shoe brand (like you said) so there really was no other option. It's like... a New Yorker and the brand Timberland boot or a Texan and an authentic cowboy boot. Just amazing marketing...
Im a New Yorker and I have a fun comfy pair of cowboy boots.
As a '80's skateboarder kid, I wore the Nike or Airwalk High tops. The kids that wore the Vans or the Converses, were usally the preppies.
90s skate kid here. My uniform from middle thru high school was pretty much Airwalks, Jncos, and a band tee.
Daniel C h
Early 00s skater as a kid and Vans were mostly associated with the Pop Punk scene . For actual skating it was Etnies, DC, Converse
Nike still makes the best skate shoes, a pair of Stef Janoskis can take anything.
Yes, but both Nike and Airwalk (I owned both) couldn't stand the abuse. Converse were the only real competition, but their lack of padding made them painful to wipe out on--plus their bonded rubber soles didn't stay bonded like VANS. I remember trying to destroy my old VANS by peeling the rubber sole off and it just wouldn't--that's after wearing them for a year. I don't know what they did, but VANS just did it better.
Love working at the Vans store. Truly an incredible atmosphere with workers and love this video too!
I love Vans, but I am so angry and sad that after this year there will be no Vans Warped tour :(

@@whoisnooners its just irritating how when we used to wear them for skating, they were $60, and we will often go through one pair of shoes in about 2 months. And now the average pair is $85, Its extremely irritating, as finding cheap skate shoes is hard. We honestly dont care if randoms wear them. Its easy enough to tell who skates by the condition of their shoes. The people who complain about normal people wearing thrasher and vans are the same people who think they own the world.

after watching these.
Vans and converse go through stages of ones more popular than the other. After working in a store selling both for around 6 years now, it’s been a solid year or so of constantly selling out of the old skool vans but both brands don’t completely fall off (except for their more out there shoes)

people wear vans not.bec of the movie but i think it looks simply nice and good quality that fits start frm kids to adult man and women alike. vans adult wear looks quite attractive still
Last year, my school shoes were custom Vans hightops. They were galaxy with black interior, laces, eyelets, bottoms, sides, everything. The only thing that wasn't black was the stripes on the side and the back shield thingy. Those were black glitter. I loved and STILL love these shoes, they're so amazing.
I feel like buying some checkered slip on vans now
i know at least 3 people from school who wear checkerboard vans... I saw at least 3-4 people today alone wearing checkerboard slip-on vans
xxmatentv123xx12 ive seen atleast 200 ppl with those at my school 😂😂
xxmatentv123xx12 every “cool kid” (the ones who think they’re gonna get somewhere by smoking and drinking at age 14) has either lace up or slip on checker or white vans and a couple other people have them as well so like 150 people overall
lemon why the hell would smoking and drinking at 14 make you cool that’s just plain stupid plus not all “cool kids” wear checkerboard vans it’s for casual wear and skating
Lol half cabs are my shit rowleys were good too
In Florida Vans are everywhere. Even SNEAKERHEADS rock em. I rock em too!
In one section of shopping mall near me, most of the stores are shoe stores. Vans even has a store there. What is amazing is that every one of the other five shoe stores in that area of the mall also sells Vans shoes and most of those have prominent displays of Vans shoes at the entrance to the store.
never tried on a pair of vans, its nice to see that the original store advertised them as 'Deck Shoes' as I like my loafers.
I guess ill just stick to wearing flip-flips, and reef makes the best in that shoe category.
Who is wearing or have vans on them while watching this.
Hendrix JCS10
Converse boi.
Me
I hate Van's and converse
nope
Dapper Individual yep converse 😎
I’ll never forget when I was a kid I got a pair of vans, didn’t know anything about them, they just looked comfy, and this guy in my class would constantly make fun of me for wearing a shoe called Vans, and then the next year that same kid got into skateboarding and wore vans everyday after that haha I would just point to his shoes everyday and laugh at him
Whenever I go to places selling Vans, sometimes I see limited time models, like Peanuts. That's interesting given the bankruptcy.
You might want to do a piece on Stanley Black & Decker- They own more tool lines than most people realize (they just bought Craftsman tools from Sears).
Vans at my school: *trendy (aesthetic)*
Other than a pair of boots, i have bought only Vans, for thet last decade. I own a dozen pairs currently.
TheCodFather the only other Shoe I've bought in the last decade was a pair of Nike SB's
I feel like i'm the only one in my school that has never owned/worn a pair of vans. My friends all had one and were all into it, but i just never had one 🙈
Really? Why?
@@ilovesuga22 i guess i never really got the hype and i considered it expensive and i never really had the money/asked my parents for that money to buy one
I just wear them to blend in with everyone else at school...
Na jk. I wear them because they're comfortable.
Dude rlly said comfortable. Adidas and nike is comfortable
Keezy Mann I wear Vans bc I skate and it helps me skateboard.And bc they’re comfortable lol.
Keezy Mann i have the old skool flame and they are 🔥
Sour Pickles u probably own a penny board or a longboard and call urself a skater
@John Paul not really for skating. I've seen videos and my friends who skate have worn holes in the said within days of getting the shoe
One of the best channels on RUclips. Make a vid on your channel.
Anirban Kar Could you also do video on the dos x comercial series the most interesting man in the world. Similar to the one you did for the gicco commercials. Thanks
The Company Man: What Happened?
Hey, my grandfathers last name is VanDoren! It’s a Dutch name I think. I’ll ask him if we’re related to this guy but it’s probably like Smith is in the US and UK.
I'm Dutch and I've never heard of that name here.
Some people have "van" before their last name so for example Max Van Doren would be a Dutch name but could be from any other country too.
Paul Cosby - No Jones?
de leeuw as well
I got vans and they literally inspired me to start skating. I have been buying a lot more vans products. I love themmmm. I’m still learning how to skate but I think I’m getting better :)
Also in my pfp I’m wearing a pink vans sweater.
Now do Converse!
Shawn McVittie Owned by Nike since 2003
They fell off
I still wear Converse and Vans. I won't buy anything else from a mainstream shoe store.
Sarafina Delirium bro get the revenge x storms

Vans is one of the most famous shoe here in philippenes because every people i meet wearing vans..
but its replica that u can buy in tiangge.
Even a few years ago, when I was still in grade school, Vans were a thing, but they weren't huge, but for some reason, starting late 2018 and booming in 19, Vans are literally everywhere. I even got a pair for myself this summer, since I started working at a Journeys. I still go to my school occasionally for various reasons and I would say at the very least half of all the kids wear Vans, and when they figured out I work at Journeys, they literally all swarmed around me asking for discounts and the latest styles and all that. Honestly, Vans are really good shoes. I bought my pair partially because I was skeptical of the hype, and they lived up to it.
The people who think that you should only wear vans if you skate are the worst kind of people
I think something could be said for the effect Kanye & backpack/ hip hop culture had in the mid 2000's. Vans, has at every culture wave, had some organic representative of it's brand. The metal community held it in the 80's, the 90's had the skaters & in the 2000's Kanye surged forward with the idea that hip-hop could hold hands with skater culture & the urbanization of vans, came into full symbiosis. Vans has always had luck (Fast Times) but it's luck rooted in organic immersion in pop culture.
Abraham Quinones I think you have Kanye confused with Pharrell (Skateboard P) of the Neptunes. Kanye was all about name brands and being fresh to death
I've seen a lot of people literally bully other people because they wear Van's and dont skate... I wear them because I like the designs, they're good quality, and fairly comfy..
watching this while wearing vans... lol
I don’t skate but vans are my favorite shoes to wear.
Call me fake, I just like them
They remind me a lot of Converse. They started with a specific niche, a similar niche to Vans, but it grew in popularity outside of it. Now it’s nothing short of iconic.
Everybody wearing Van's jn 2019:
*VSCO people, high schoolers, middle schoolers, the broke white boi on the street, skaters and surfers
