Skateboarding shoes that can survive a nuclear holocaust, and usually have before they finally make it across the Atlantic. Always look dated, and will never wear out.
Argh! Elverys got more Vans in and they seem to be 1982 stock!
Can be skated in, mountain biked in, hiked in, swum in, rock climbed in and anything else you can possibly imagine and still get about 3-5 years of daily use from them. Vans = Unsurpassed durability!
Other guy: Dude yours shoes must be like a year old! Guy wearing the vans: Nope, theyre vans and theyre actually 5 years old. Suck on somma that!
skater shoes that will last for a long time and are pretty cool looking and not that expensive
me:dude look at this awesome slip-ons my friend:heck yes those are awesome!
A shoe company that has actually become a clothing company. Well known for the slip-ons. Some think that only poseurs wear Vans, but actually, there are a bajillion different designs so you can have your own style.
I'm no poseur, but I wear green and blue checkerboard vans.
Vans are shoes for cool people who dont want to waste a hundred bucks on shoes.
"Get a pair of Vans chukas or checkerboard slip ons"
A good, quality skate shoe company that classifies their products into "new school" (for those who actually intend to skate in them) "old school" (which are worn usually to make a statement, most popular are slip-ons) and most recently, "no school". Vans also makes a couple of lines that are worn by abnoxious, (I'd hate to say it, but...) posers. Most people that tend to diss Vans are really just dissing these lines, and rethink their critical views when they realize that Vans sponsors really worthy events, like the Vans Warped Tour.
Person 1: Cool shoes, those Vans? Person 2: Yeah, they're my only pair Person 1: Yeah, I don't tend to wear the old schools because I can't skate in them and they wear out easily Person 2: I know, I like them worn though
