Vans

People wear what other people wear and then assume it's fashion because everyone they see is wearing that thing

Yeah you're right. I just don't get how such a kids shoe has become so popular again. Like it's so hard to take people seriously in them for me

I hate old-skools (I agree, they look middle-school-tier), but sk8-his can look all right.

I hate almost all Vans, but when a pair is good, it's really good. I love the tonal stitched leather old skools, the ones WTAPS curates, all white slip ons, and taka hayashi's occasional project. Also cheap and good quality.

Yeah I can't hate all of them, and they usually lasted me a while, i just wish people would stop acting like they're some sort game changing shoe

i use all black leather vans and they dont even look that much like vans in person if you dont look for a sec they fit well with my fits since they dont have speial features

I grew up in skate/snowboard culture too so I can't really explain from an outside perspective. Probably something about how skate culture went from fringe and counter to mainstream and fused with everyday fashion. Or maybe the more logical explanation is that Vans is just a giant corporation that grew and got stocked in every shoe store in every mall.

I have the newer WTAPS collab and the quality is literally any regular Vans with a WTAPS tag slapped on it. Disappointing as fuck, I fell for the collab meme and I'm not doing it again. I agree that some of them can be good but at the end of the day it's the same sweatshop tier shoe. I mean, I only bike them these days so it's not like quality for their true purpose is a big deal for me.

The only thing that has me hanging on to Vans is I still snowboard and it reminds me of the good old days in the past, but wearing them is slowly dying out for me.

I have these ones too, i like them alot, for some reason alot of people i met confuses them as dress shoes, which to me makes no fucking sense but who cares.
