What is the general consensus on vans old skool ?
I prefer authentics.
good beater
>>10915065
Go-to beater shoe. However I always color that horrific stitching to match the black upper
>>10915065
I really loved mine. Got beaten down really quickly Gonna go for another pair. But at this point they are fairly common. At least in yuurope
It
only thing that bothers me is that the laces are wayy too long.
cant go wrong with vans unless you get the ugly patterned slipons
I like the sk8 his the best they make me feel like im surfing when im not :^)
>>10915065
pretty much the only shoe i wear casually. they're great beaters. mine took a while to break in though
>>10915065
So this pair is /v/ approved ? Should I cop ?
>>10915385
Would they look good on a girl ?
i have 3 pairs of vans because im a fucking loser and the navy/black ones are prob my favourite as beaters but i think the classic blacks look better clean
>>10915432
Owning vans mean you're a loser ?
>>10915069
Thinking about getting the middle pair.
Is it looked down upon to sharpie over the Vans branding? I always feel like a poser when I wear skate shoes because I don't skate. I mostly just like how they feel and look.
Opinion on the Vans BLACK BALL SF. They come in white as well.
>>10915065
i think theyre dope if you wear them with gosha
>>10915386
yes, just need to pay slightly more attention to your outfit than a guy would because you could end up looking like a girl who wears monster snapbacks and tapout
>>10915849
I like
Asap Rocky wears them so by default they're /fa/ approved.
>>10915842
Nah, it's ok. It'd be the same if you're wearing chuck ts and someone gave you shit for not playing basketball.
Good looking, comfy and cheap. They skate well but shread up pretty quick and are hard to put on your foot sometimes. Ill be wearing them forever probably.
Basicly af1s for white people.
>>10915123
w2c jacket???
color the stitching black ands theyre great
They're okay. I feel like I see them everywhere though, especially on the feet of high students. It's their favorite shoe
>>10915842
They're so ubiquitous I wouldn't be concerned with that. Different story if you're wearing a thrasher hoodie and dont sk8
What's the best method of colouring in the white stitching black?
>>10917797
Get one of those textile markers maybe
>>10917797
I dont do it but sharpies would do the trick. Dont worry about it not looking great becase these shoes are meant to be beat and look 100% better trashed
Gum sole
Canvas is already ripping, only skated them a few times
>>10915065
for me sk8-his are the way to go especially these
absolute shite for skating tbqh, wear out after like 2 weeks
I've gone through 25+ pairs of skateboarding shoes and as memey as they are janoski's are the best. They don't sell them any more but nike v-rods were also fantastic
>>10917943
>skating in vans
Lol
>>10917943
>canvas
there's your problems
>>10915849
I like how literally every brand that makes skate shoes re-released or introduced new model that uses toecap like that after Huf became popular.
Currently I skate these, really like them. Black/white looks way better but got them from sale and looks are secondary when it comes to skateshoes so no fucks given.

The toe box, heel, and eyestays are suede. Just the side wall is canvas
>>10918273
I have the classic lows. I like them but theyre kind of heavy though.
I worse vans throughout my childhood up to early high school so whenever I see them I think of manchildren
>>10918338
>I'm insecure so I judge others based on my insecurities
Why the fuck does everyone have such a hate boner for clothing they wore when they were young? I find inspo sometimes from pics of my childhood, are you faggots just in teenage so everything you have done in the past is 'childish' and embarrassing to you now or are you really this insecure?
>>10918338
>I only wear mature shoes for mature individuals such as myself
I haven't worn the pieces of shit since The Van Doren Rubber Company moved production of these overseas.
>>10915933
I have this jacket for 3+ years now. Found it in 2012 in New Yorker.
>>10918355
Maybe tastes and views change, i feel the same way with converse, i used to wear them when i was in my freshman-junior years and now 5 years later i think theyre awful, its just me though, i know some people like them and thats fine, but its all subjective
>>10915432
I own 2 pairs, does that make me cool desu? :^)
>>10919107
>Maybe tastes and views change
But reflecting your taste based on that you were certain age on other people is beyond fucking insecure and retarded.
Not liking something is fine but if your reasoning is 'because I wore them during certain age' you are either teenager or you have issues you still have to plow through.

How do you expect to ollie or do anything when you're scraping your foot on the board to get any air? You can have the best chest armor in the land but it doesn't matter if the backs wide open
>>10915065
Had some.. uncomfortable..
good but starting to get sick of seeing them everywhere
i like em
