Andrew Reynolds new COLORWAYS on vans is a look to a vans classic but are they an upgrade? Andrew is one of the most well known skateboarders in skateboarding & has been one of my favorite skateboarders. He is the reason why I like to do Variel Heels so much.

It’s not a new shoe. It’s a signature colorway, so they’ll be the exact same as the regular skate classics. I think the only difference is that the uppers are suede on the Reynolds old skool instead of the usual canvas. Also all the advertising about the fully redesigned upper and new technology is just for the new skate classics line, it’s in the description for all the new skate shoes.

@kevinfortsch 2 жыл бұрын

Tony might be the face of skateboarding, yeah he can sell games and has birdhouse his board brand still does semi well. He is definitely in no position to have a pro vans shoe. He isent marketable in that sense based on the fact he's an old man who skates Vert, irrelevant to kids to watch street skateboarding/skateboarders who are a little older than them. I'd say before Tony ever gets a shoe Reynolds will have a shoe.

I love your contet, but yes color ways like this are always the same thing as the standard . Same as the olympic Nyjah 2s. Theyre not advertised to be any different its just a limited run color way. The redesign is referring to the fact that all of the pro models were updated . That is why there is now a checkered tab instead of the old pro design, to differentiate these and all other pro models from the previous iterations .

@christianflores 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks dude! And yeah I get that. But “redesign” sounds like something is new besides the color.

@cyberinsurgent9910 2 жыл бұрын

Ummm if you read it, they ARE advertised to be different, even the Nyjah T's from what I read 🤣🤣.. Now these, are designed to be the SKATE version which has been out, but they do proport to be redesigned in terms of more durability etc NO, of course youre right not on the basis of the color way, but on the basis of it being the "SKATE" versions... DURACAP, POPCUSH, SICKSTICK etc... So of course the "SKATE" versions are the Skate versions and upgraded in that sense (at least claimed) but I dont believe he thought the colorway or his name being on it was the grounds for it being "upgraded" but instead the fact they were the "SKATE" version therefore updated in that regard. *Then again I just read his reply so maybe he DID think that and what you said was relevant and I just typed all this for nothing 🤣🤣🥴🥴😢 So basically I just repeated what you said but 12x longer 😆😆😶😒 In fact I should delete this but I mean I typed it all out already.

I have a feeling that it’s due to multiple factors, such as cost/sales implications, and marketability. I think for now, Vans is trying to see with these colorways how much it’ll bring sales to their skateboarding line and if it hits then they work on a pro model. Or maybe it’s just because he’s okay with not having a pro model shoe anymore haha (thinking like how big names like Guy Mariano moving to Nike and Marc Johnson moving to Adidas who had pro colorways instead)

Or what’s also likely is that they’re still in the process of making his shoe and he’s just been skating these three shoes consistently so he just wanted his own colorway so he could make some of that sweet sweet Vans money in the meantime ( Which he 100% deserves haha).

@@KyleAndersonSkates I think Reynolds could design an extremely well liked pro model for Vans. No question. There’s so much behind the Baker and Reynolds name for people to love and respect. Yet, there are tons of young kids getting buck who are flow or am for shoe companies. While skaters like Rowan are putting out tons of clips, remain loyal to sponsors, and have a well selling shoe, there are thousands of dudes who won’t ever earn a colorway for a company. Vans has the money to take a risk with new technology for an entire line of shoes. Same with Nike, NB#, adidas, and Converse. I could see Reynolds wanting a hybrid of the AVE outsole and midsole with the new tech of the Skate Classics line. Maybe something in between a Sk8-Hi and Half Cab upper. Either way, Vans can take a risk. They’re still dialing in skate shoes and pro models.
