pretty good 10 minute VANS ad

You told me to forget everything i knew about vans so I did. Then you tried to sell them to me but I didn't know what the hell they were

As a Vans employee who works in a Vans store in a mall I can confirm malls have Vans Skate Classics

To be honest Vans are the ONLY shoe I’ve been wearing for years! Just so stylish and comfy!! 🤘🤘🤘

As a Vans sales employee this knowledge about our new product is super helpful for me, I love to provide info about our new pro shoes and models to kids looking for new skate shoes. my only complaint is that weird shine one from the sick stick.

you know you're high, if you're wearing airwalks -Jeff Grosso

vans, especially the pro line, have always been my go-to for both casual and skating, so i'm stoked to see this drop. say what you want about vans, but they definitely care about the skating community 100%.

Wow actually needed this video. I've been trying to look up and figure out what they did that was so new. Thanks homies

Really great changes by a company I have so much love for. Great to see them innovating.

they also have durocap, wich is basically a toecap under the leather. they have little plates under the heel to prevent heelbrouse as well. dont forget this

Thank youuuu for all this info ℹ️

Love this review man! Keep it up 💯🙏🏻

haven’t even watched the video n i already know it’s gonna be straight heat

I never really knew much about vans being a ride or die for Emerica, but this was real good info to know. I never knew the difference between the skate vans vs. other ones, thanks guys !

I am not a big fan of the vans shoes but I have to say this video was very well made and entertaining. I love all your videos! keep up :)

Love this

Just got a pair of half cab classics today and I have never gotten used to a brand new shoe so quickly. Skated for 3 hours today and they still look fresh out of the box. I totally get the hype

Good informations, thanks !!!!

Levi, you and the production team are putting out some great content. I really enjoyed a previous video explaining the different types of skate shoes and the technology they have. It would be awesome if perhaps you can partner with more brands in the future like you did in the Vans Collab to talk about the shoe. One thing I would like to see incorporated is mentioning with each shoe type what type of skateboarding it would come in handy for. For example this new Vans style is an all around perfect shoe for your everyday rider. For those of you who are more into jumping down huge gaps we highly recommend you check out Vans (Insert model here). Another cool thing would be to do a review about the shoe and have a company spokes person share a little about the shoe itself, maybe they share a sneak peak of something they are working on that's still in the works. I know there will be people saying who cares about the shoe technology just go skate, but some of us really like to have our things dialed down and would probably be willing to pay more if we knew what certain technology the shoe incorporates that makes the $90 dollar skate shoe you find at your shop better than that $50 dollar skate shoe you find at your mall or online that sell them to make a fashion statement.

Wow that's awesome!!! I used to be work on vans ph finally they did it!!!

will be welcoming these new shoes! can’t wait to skate em

Pretty sweet. I’ll never forget my first pair of Vans. Before malls had them, before everyone wore them. I had to beg my mom to take me to our local skate shop (Home Skateshop Louisville KY) and get a pair of checkered slip ons. Skated em to death. That was before there was even a Pro line dude lol. Vans should continue sticking to their roots. If they do so, they will still be here in 100 years for sure.

This video is super super helpful.

I bought a pair of these Vans skateboarding shoes, the wine red/black Pro models. The pop cush sole is so comfortable and my word they're durable. I used to skate the old school Vans and these are on another level, personally, I think I'm only going to wear these from here on out!

I just tried my first pair of Vans a month ago (The Gilbert Crocket 2's). I now own 5 other pairs of Vans.

Bought two pairs of the skate half cabs in all black. Been waiting for some since I seen them as a kid( not that I ever seen em in this solid all black version when I was a kid, but always seen the silver and black or black and white half cabs. But never in solid black.) Very comfortable to walk in and skate in. At first I thought they were bootlegs because they didn't say half cab pro. But after doing some research I found out they were legit half cabs. Thought I had spent over $150.00 on fake shoes. I've been out of skateboarding for some time. But something about these shoes made me want to skate them. Bought a complete deck. Bought two pairs of the same all black skate half cabs. Haven't regretted a moment since I restarted.

Vans will always have a few spaces in my closet. Hell I have had a pair of classics for 8 years and they still have plenty of life in them.

I figured you could skate any pair of Vans, but the ones specifically made for skating said “Pro” and had the Cush insole to prevent heal bruise and added comfort

I skatebaord to BMX and mountain biking in Vans!

Great vid!

I ride bmx and Vans has always been one of my favourite shoes. They're super comfortable, grippy, and looks super awesome. I just hope the new ones have better quality control, because in the last 4 years I've had a few pairs that last for years, and few pairs that last 2-3 months...

After many pairs of Vans, after the Classics, Era, SK8, Kyle Walker 1 and 2, Chima's, I've settled on the Ave. They are it for me.

This was an extremely informative video, thank you. I am 48 years old and getting into skating so will be my first pair of van's because of your video. THANK YOU

Gotta love vans

Liking most! Specially the fit fix, thats a huge thing! 👌🏼👌🏼 But man...a shiny foxing tape...please make it the usual!

Skating the pro classic half cabs right now, and I just got the newer version “skate classics” and side by side I can tell that the newer half cab feels like it has way more support!

Great video. I moved away from wearing classic style vans (I think my last ones were Era Pro) specifically because the inside (area between the insole and top) was too short and they would hurt the bridge of my foot after a while. If they tried to make that area bidder, I’d definitely want to give them another try.

The vertical sole thing has always been there.. that's one of the reasons I like vans shoes, because it prevents rocks from getting stuck there.

So first off love the video so much info never knew about Vans so thank you for the quick lesson but im trying to get a pair to skate in but my local skate shops do not carry Vans sadly. I never thought that would even be a thing so im forced to go to the mall bc i need to try them on before bc Vans fit me differently than other skate shoes. What would you do if you were in my . . .shoes lol .. The next closest skate shop is almost 2 hours away .

Got those yesterday they are the best

that's actually dope

Sick!!!

I've tried a few shoes and I always go back to sk8 hi pros because I love their kickflips. Proper shit for skating gaps but mint for everything else.

I love Vans!! I think I have 13 pairs now. There is nothing more Punk Rock like these shoes. I will rock Vans until I’m in a retirement home!!🤘🏾🎸🎶🎸🤘🏾

I remember being a kid skateboarding the vans Rowley XLT.

These look promising, I'll probably test a pair when my era pro's wear out

Are the style 36 Decon sfs a skate vans because I skate those and feel like style 36 are the best vans for skate and looks

gotta get me some!!!!

I actually bought 2 pairs of skateboarding vans they are really good for skateboarding and they are very comfortable

freaking Skateboarding HISTORY channel lol. amazing what you guys do! still waiting on the Lakai video :)

You should do an episode on Converse shoes. Way back when Chuck Taylors were a heavy competitor for Vans. I still like high top Chucks more than Vans Sk8 Hi's The soles are tougher and the sides don't get blown out as quick.

Just bought skate old skools great shoes

Like who’s the four assholes that had to go give thumbz down like do people realize the work that goes into one video? Show some fucking appreciation!

My first skate shoe was Vans Chili Red Sedans, they got me through ollies, drop ins, reverts, 50-50’s and a accidental rock to fake. Good times 🥺Unfortunately the waffle is flat and down to the last layer of plastic 😂 Now I’m retiring them for a pair of Sk8 Hi Pro’s, did a few ollies and I swear my feet didn’t leave the board, so grippy I love it

I have struggled to find Half Cabs in my size in London lately, even online, could it be that they are waiting to drop these and a new batch?

So this is the new Pro without saying pro ? I guess this apply just to the classic ones like old skool, slip ones? For example my style 112 would have the same pro name Just hope that the rubber is more durable

i have vans autenthic pro model and these issues are so true i'm kind of mad i didin't see this video 2 months ago, before buying pros

I like the kyle walker pro the first shoe it's dope

That's cool

I always go with the basic sk8 low (the "fashion" ones) cause they're always on sale for like 50 bucks 😅 they don't get a lot of love but they work for me 🤷🏼‍♂️ quite durable actually

I don't know how to skate and I don't pretend to. I just like vans look and fit.

Just got a pair of the glow in the dark checkerboard ones and gotta tell you they are the most comfortable vans i have ever had. The comfort is super important to me because i am honestly a bigger guy. I didnt even realise they where the skating ones until i watched this video xD. But hot damn i dont think i can go back to any other kind of shoe... well maybe i would still wear the new chucks or some pf flyers. Although i do wish they would sell their cush insoles as well so i could put them in my regular old vans.

Yeah I’m definitely gonna try and snag a pair of the slip ons tomorrow. I was literally looking at snagging a pair of the pros, when I saw this video. I knew it was a sign, I’d like to know if there dropping the black tomorrow too. But ether way I’m trying to cop these...

Is it ok to wear skate era Vans even if you don't skate?

So how does the fit compare to the (what appears to be discontinued) pro line? I never had a problem with the pro sizing but am wondering if I should change size when I order the new skate old skool.

very nice video

Will the Custom versions be available made with the updated construction?

How does the width of toe box on the authentic skate compare to the regular and pro? The toe box on the pro was more narrow than the original authentic but I appreciated the extra support of the insole on the pro. Hoping these fit more like the originals but with the added comfort from the removable insole.

Vans has always been my most bestest favoret shoe. Slip ons 💯😎◾◽◼️◻️🔳🔲🔳

I been wearin vans for 20 years Half cabs for high school basketball Oldschools and halfcabs for long boarding Slip ons for on the water They are the best shoes but they dont do mucj for your knees and back

Been wearing vans all my life. Still have two pairs of the Rowley classics

Will there be a size 14 this time?

I used to like vans, I still do, but I used to too.

It’s all I skate and wear, but I do wish they focused more on on core core skating pro models, more Andrew Allen’s, more Ave shoes, Aiden Mackey… also, why do many canvas pros?? Can we pleeeeeeeeeeeease get more full suede authentic hogs in all the colors???

Hoping that vans will also realise new designs in Philippines

those vans checker emblems are the ends of the film strips where it reels around the film reel. no?

I skate the Era and Old Skool shoes alot. Price is good and they last pretty long.

Oh damn they changed the pro version and made them better no way I gotta get myself a pair once my es skate shoes are worn out

I have those Rowans for my next shoe. 🤘

I need in on those buttery ass Sk8 Highs or maybe mids but holy shit those are fckn insane!!

Are you sure they made these all new ones in the half cab silhouette? This is the first time I’m seeing them and they look exactly the same as just the classic ones that have already been out for years and years, and the ones you show in the video don’t have any distinct markings like the others you talked about.

Yeah man! That's my comment.

I remember the puffy tongue vans from the mid to late 90s. They were thee best for skating and comfort. I cant find them to save my life. Not sure if they even make them anymore. I don't remember the name. I guess i try and google image search again. I wouldnt mind some MARC JOHNSON reissues either from E. Edit , the closest ones i can find are VANS LOWLAND. Ordering a pair asap

Me watching this riding the vans skate classics slip ons the same ones u have on

did they change anything on the kyle pro 2? i hope they didn’t to be honest i like the thicker heel

I exclusively wear vans as casual shoes. I only just recently started skating in a pair of half cabs! They are soooooo nice, but it’s a shame to ruin such a fresh pair of kicks. Hence why I would skate in other brands, generally the cheapest skate shoes I can find on sale 😂

I just found out that they also rename the shoes from pros to skate. Og Ex: old skool pros

I wish they'd re release the rowley xl2. Best shoes ever!

I hope they drop some Skate Classic sk8 mids because I can’t find a pair anywhere

I got the old skools In black with gum color outsole

Av classic was the one until they changed it 👳 . . Era pros are cool too and comfy to skate in .

Checker Board March 4 got it

Are all of the regular pro shoes such as the slip on pro now called skate classics or are regular range pros still a thing?

Thanks for the feetback

I hope they have a good feel when skating

What is the difference between Vans old school classics and the Vans old school pro?

Did everyone forget about the vans chukkas way too fire

The best vans I ever skated was the pro 112 with the toe cap. They just felt different but why aren’t they available anymore or talked about? Feel they’re the redhead step child of vans

That was interesting I knew none of that!
