This is Vans. Established 1966.
Skateboarding has always been in a perpetual state of progression which means the Berrics must also be in a perpetual state of creating progressive content if we have any chance of surviving this cyclone of confusion and heartbreak called the world. With new companies popping up every month, other companies infiltrating the space and old companies going out of business, there are THE companies that have continually influenced the culture of skateboarding, inside and out. They've weathered every storm and stomped their own footprint into the concrete jungle of skateboarding history. They are the established brands without being the Establishment. This is Vans. Established 1966. -- sb

Back in 1977 I'd wear vans while riding my BMX Supergoose with Oakley F1 grips, KKT pedals and life was simple. Bless vans for being there.

I live in Australia and started getting Vans in the 80's. Back then pretty much the only way to get Vans here was via mail order through ads in Thrasher by places like California Skate Express. The current day Anaheim Factory Collection are pretty nice, but nothing can compare to the old "Made In USA" Vans. They felt different, they smelled different, they looked different. They were handmade, and as the ads said, "no two shoes are exactly alike". The slight imperfections were what made them special, but the materials they used back then were better than now. I really miss the USA made Vans, but the Anaheim Collection they're doing now are pretty good aesthetically and a nice substitute.. I'm 51 now and they're still my shoe of choice.

Here's a good story for you kids: I got my first pair of Vans in 1967, when I was 11 years old (they were called Deck Shoes back then). When we got to the Vans store, I had no problem picking out the style I liked... There were 5-hole lace-ups in Navy Blue, or White and slip-ons in Navy Blue, or White. The important feature was the 5-holes, other shoes only had 4-holes. I can't wear Vans anymore... not enough support for my feet!

I wore Vans then Airwalks and in 1986 it all changed. I could go to the local athletic store and buy last years outdated Air Jordans for $25.99 plus tax and the shoe came with good cushion. The Whackers felt bulky compared to Vans or Airwalks at first, but we all got used to it. The change I talk about is documented in the Chin Video so anyone who thinks I am wrong can go watch the Chin Video.

@anaisabelpais7389 5 жыл бұрын

$4.49 in 1966 is $35.47 today. $8 in 1974 is $43.50 today. Vans today are $50, $65 depending on the style. I know so many people who say shoes used to be so cheap, and now they're crazy expensive. But that's not true at all. Vans is a famous brand today, so of course the price is higher, but not by all that much. Imagine if the shoes that we $4.49 became $5.76 because they were name brand.

My first pair of vans I got in early 90's, and they were mostly black(suede) and had a rubber toe cap, with white/gum cupsole. The reason I'm typing all of this is in hopes that someone will know the sneaker I'm talking about and can tell me the name of the model as well as what year it came out. I've been trying to figure this out for about 10 years with no luck. any help would be appreciated.

Jay Adams, Tony Alva and Shogo Kubo all skated Nike in addition to Vans. Christian is well aware of that. Christian was synonymous with Chuck Taylor's in the eighties and sponsored by Converse. Billy Ruff sent a portfolio and then a letter to Nike explaining that he had always preferred Nike's to Vans and pleaded with them to send him shoes at least every other month. I've skated nothing Vans for the last 14 years and it's not because I think it's the best shoe for skateboarding or the best quality.

I have been a strong Vans enthusiast for the entirety of my skateboarding "career", but I have to say that recently I have been extremely disappointed in the quality of the shoes I have gotten. I order my Vans from Tactics and the last 3 pairs of Old School Pro or Era Pros I have purchased have torn on the upper canvas near the big toe. The worst part is that this was during the Minnesota winter so the shoes were skated in maybe a handful of times. At this point I've chosen to write it off as a fluke but if the pair of Era pros in my closet do the same thing and I don't get a response from Vans I will be sad to say I will be buying my first pair of non-Vans skate shoes.

gil ortiz Evan Smith is the goat yo, but i completely agree. Vans do rip pretty easily but i guess that kinda ties in with what i love about them. The thinness, the complete board feel with soles that can still handle a drop. I just hate Nike for it's sellout moves, and it's way of slapping their name of everything including skating. Tennis, nike. Basketball, nike. Basically anything they're capable of getting. Vans though, vans is die hard skste passion.
