Is Vans the most NPC brand out there? Every time I see somebody wearing their merch, it’s for fashion, not skateboarding

Vans were never legit skate shoes. DC, Etnies, Globe, Osiris, even Reef. These were the true skate brands of antiquity.

>> No.13767673

>>13767601
it depends. i'd say they're in the same category as normal converse shoes but if you get them in a nice colour you can really have a nice fit.

the og old skools are nice but are "basic bitch" of shoes (much like stan smiths). but Vans has a LOT of nice collabs so you can find something nice if you search far enough.

it's the only thing they do with their lives so they get very defensive and gatekeep it. See video gamers, weebs, etc. They try to act like they care "because I worked hard and bled to skate", but that's a cope: every hobby requires a time investment, it's not like skating is special and different because you fall on the ground like a retard a lot.
>tldr gatekeeping is dumb and so are skaters

I don't know, they don't look bad. I think they look better on chicks than dudes, though.

I just have some regular white vans that I got cheap on sale at an outlet. I wear them to the gym and sometimes to the shops. Bit too basic for me if I want to look good

I got pinworms when i was small and every one to two years they come back, sometimes the itch gets so annoying i stick my finger up my ass to scratch them out. One time i got like 15 worms on my finger and i threw them in the milk jug because i was pissed off

Real skaters dont linke vans, but will proably wear em' if dey cheap. Vans soles are the worst in the industry, u can destroy a shoe by skating, sure, but with vans u wont have that problem because the sole will come off before theres holes in it. They should fire all the children that glue that shit together for em.

>> No.13771218

You’re a retard if you can’t see how these shoes have become essentials for an outfit. Chucks black and white and vans with either high top or low cut are the building blocks of a healthy wardrobe.

These are probably used by more non-skateboarders than skateboarders, so why don’t they make a version of this shoe that’s more comfortable?

Yeah I guess you're right.
A few minutes after I left this thread yesterday I got an email from a local clothing store talking about their new stock and D3s were just put in stock.
Do you know anything about the legality of the Under Armour ones? Doesn't Osiris still have the rights to the design or something?
