I mean, obviously it's a slip on but there's no Vans logo. Too bad they shelved it I would have loved to have that beside my klansmen deck.
-
Maybe they would rather not get involved in something so controversial to play it safe business-wise
Although that graphic is rad
-
Correction - it's an authentic if you look at the stitching, which would make sense because Chima mostly wears authentics.
Some guy commented
"I think the the idea in a western perspective may seem evident .. Although in a vast part Asia and other countries the dialogue may be lost in translation?. Red on black colors for the symbol may make it more apparent. At any rate.. Fuck racism and may you all go forth into a pleasant day"
That could make sense IMO.
-
I'd want my company left out of someone else's politics whether I agreed with them or not also.
-
I think the logical conclusion is that Vans loves Nazis.
-
My buddy (who doesn't skate but IS Jewish) once said that Vans soles have a star of david on there because it was an anti-semetic company and the symbolism is "stomping on Jews." He claimed he didn't make it up, but one of his family friends worked at VF and told him that.
Since his source was not a Euro TM I don't believe him tho, just stirring the pot.
-
Weird how if you stomp on a nazi symbol it cracks just like an iphone screen. Is this graphic also anti-sock? I love socks.
-
the artist post feels like subtle shade toward vans. I can understand nonoffensive brand like van's not wanting to be associated with any drama what so ever.

Haha I'm jewish and I've always said the sole looks like a bunch of stars of David, would never have assumed it meant "stomping on jews" I'm gunna stick with my idea that it is just a functional design for a sole

Lol so dumb

and and and..... if you hold your marlboros the right way there's 3 stylized K's and a klansmen seiging heil.
and there's a K on the bottom of snapple cause it's Klan owned.
and 311 = k, k and k.

Not necessarily, but if he is not using his privilege to embolden POC voices and actively help dismantle systematic oppression then he is just another part of the problem and really might as well be.

Yes, 100% would be (if this were real) part of the problem, but would certainly not be just as bad as a klansman.

I'd agree with this if they didn't release a shoe with blood & semen (Metallica collab) on it last season. I understand, but I still don't dig it. Whomever the marketing rep/decision maker on this is soft.

Closer, but they're Eras, Authentics don't have padding on the collar.

Someone please tear down all Vans buildings and burn every pair of their shoes so that we can reverse history and end their Nazi regime.

vans is a huge corporation. they're not going to touch anything with a swastika on it, even if its showing it in a negative light.

why not just change the shoe if you want the graphic to go through

That pussy assed swazi shattered before it even got stepped on.

what pussies afraid to be against nazi

gawdamnit, now I can't buy vans. Good-bye buds, we had a good run but now I'm going to have to go with Adidas. Oh wait, Adidas is named after and founded by a Nazi. Shit. Fuck.
swoosh.
-

He suggested that he will release another version so the sole purpose of the post is to throw shade at vans. Involve vans with a lil bit of drama and create some hype, seem extra dangerous and ' out here on the front lines'.

I have only just recently learned that that swastika logo isn't just associated with Nazis, but before then was actually used in India for completely different reasons.
I know this because I saw a swastika above the cash register at an Indian supermarket so I asked the guy why it was there. It raises a good question: Is it okay for them to use it if they were completely unaware of how it was used throughout WW2? The worker didn't know it had anything to do with Hitler.
I think in Australia in 2017, the swastika is primarily associated with killing jews so ummmm fuck no we shouldn't use it, even if you are unaware. Not in a public place at least.

israel stole the folks nation symbol.

that indian was prolly a nazi, don't let him pull your leg

I'm pretty certain he wasn't a Nazi. When I confronted him about it and said the word 'Hitler' he was really scared. His English wasn't great but as soon as I said that he said he would take it down. I don't think a nazi would do that?
Funnily enough, this was in a really multicultural part of Melbourne where a pretty famous skinhead movie was filmed

So you're saying a symbol that has been around for thousands of years can't be displayed by someone from the culture it originates from because it was appropriated by Nazis? Ok man. You should go back there and tell him that.

No what I mean is that you can't just use these symbols as you please hence why I said 'not in a public place at least'
Would it be okay for this guy to wear a swastika in a Jewish community? No. Would it be okay to use in India? Yeah, probably.

Just because it originated from his culture doesn't mean it's okay to use in a public space. The swastika originated from German culture, that doesn't make it okay to use does it? If it is everyone's job to do research then how is this guy not at fault? Over five million Jews were killed it was the largest genocide of all time. This guy was completely unaware but for some reason you are targetting me for not doing my research?

As previously mentioned, swastika was appropriated by Germans. I'm not targeting you for not doing research, all I'm saying is that you can't get upset with him for using it. He has a right to religious freedoms.
Yes, I can agree that if he's in Australia then maybe he should be aware of what was done with the swastika by the Germans but that doesn't revoke his right to use it as it was originally intended.
While we're on the subject of research though, maybe you could use this link:

i'm all for free speech but if we're gonna ban symbols, the union jack reminds me of the irish genocide. mike tyson's chairman mao tattoo is prolly offensive to the families of 100 million dead chinese.
the red banner of socialism and millions of dead russians under stalin.
american flag to indians and blacks.

Right so out of all those things you mention (union jack flag ect )in terms of which one of them presents the greatest threat of genocide in our present times, its the swatiska. The least interesting fucking fact people tell you once in a while; "the swatiska's not bad you know, it's thousands of years old,"

stalin and hitler were around the same time. stalin also killed comparable amount of ukrainians by starvation [holomodor] asides a larger number of his own people.
mao was last century too.
native americans came closer to dying out as a people than jews so maybe the american flag is the most offensive?
we're used to seeing the other symbols as just flags but who's to say?
-
It's not about what's most offensive. The arayan/racist/white power use and have used that symbol to recruit and spread hate, the swatiska is a mega brand. It has no other present use or purpose. The union jack and american flag which you flimsily compared to the swatiska at least have a case both ways. Why even try for that comparison?

The swastika was a symbol originally used in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. It wasn't roughly 1930 that the Nazi's adopted it and bastardized it's image. One culture used it as a sacred symbol, the other used it as a symbol for murder and hate.
-
You know, I always thought it was odd that VANS stood for "Vans Are Nazi Sympathizers."
Now it all makes sense.
Jk
alsothis is a classic example of someone using "just saying" to mask their ulterior motive.

OP : great thread.
It's a sad time when a company is afraid to take a stand against fascism. I think the graphic is sick.
As for symbols changing meaning, great. It's time to repurpose the swastika into something else, as I think it looks pretty cool.

why didn’t the nazis just create their own symbol instead of using a reverse image swastika? that’s theft of artistic work. fucking unoriginal morons.

Unfortunately, they weren't the first and they won't be the last. What you said kinda reminds me of what Gonz said about style, like ''skateboarding is about seeing someone doing something, then doing it better and making it yours'' or something along those lines.

Good thing your around friend. Theres alot of misinformation and people condemming the swatiska. It is obviously a very important to educate people of its fuckin buddist origin because we don't have bigger problems right now than the swatiska being slandered. edit in all truthfulness its true that one man fucked up a symbol AND a mustache style for everyone. Or you can choose to fly in the face of that and get the half inch mustache in the middle and make some tshirts ^out of you're swatiska awareness poster.

No problem. I'm a bit of an expert on swazis. One time returning to Canada after a road trip to the US, I got pulled aside and had to give the border guard a history lesson on the difference between gentle swazis and nazi swazis because I had a picture of a swazi pizza on my phone.

Good thing your around friend. Theres alot of misinformation and people condemming the swatiska. It is obviously a very important to educate people of its fuckin buddist origin because we don't have bigger problems right now than the swatiska being slandered. edit in all truthfulness its true that one man fucked up a symbol AND a mustache style for everyone. Or you can choose to fly in the face of that and get the half inch mustache in the middle and make some tshirts ^out of you're swatiska awareness poster.
Not to mention a perfectly good name.

the hairstyle made a comeback recently, i have faith the mustache will have it's day.
of all hitler's mannerisms i think seig-ing heil looks the coolest. that's how a woman should greet her husband when gets home from a hard days' work. or after you land a trick you've been battling. beats hell out of 'yeeew' or 'yiiip'.
alas, richard spencer set it back 20 yrs seiging heil to trump.
i think the way to mainstream is it to use it as a cheer for a black player. 'heil jordan'.

racism/fascism is wack, but so is this graphic
just because its polarizing or ethically-aligned doesnt mean its good. maybe whoever vetoed the graphic was just avoiding saying they didnt like it?
i imagine this hanging behind the bar at some hipster cafe.
sorry to the artist, its cleanly done, but i find it generic in a way that a vans logo isnt gonna mend

I don't think real's art department give a shit what the art is like. I've been looking at ovals for the last 10 years. They have got to be the most recognisable company that still has the most generic graphics

Compared to anything done by Blind, Plan-B, Almost, a lot of companies I can't think of right now cause I'm drunk, and 98% of what Real usually does, it's pretty cool.
I like that it takes a risk, too. Reminds me of 90's graphics.

No I did not. I started pushing around in 1999 (I'm 27). It just seemed like there were a lot more brands doing weird shit judging by the old ads I see today. False nostalgia?

and I'm sick of people treating their subjects of entertainment as though they were strictly political. Too many fake radicals these days. Whoever mentioned that the swaz looked like an iphone, that would actually be interesting to me, some sort of commentary on the place fascism occupies in modern times.

my comments were in response to your friend's quote, I'll try and clarify:
the question of a graphic's artistic merit is not in competition with a discussion of its politics, that's a false dichotomy.
Claiming the type of moral authority that automatically invalidates somebody's else's right to engage in a conversation is a radical position.

So can we agree that the graphic could be a lot better but that its subject matter is super relevant and needs to be talked about? Shit's getting outta hand.
Edit : can we agree that we know nothing and literally everything we say that isn't directly tied to our survival is mental masturbation?
I've never been so unsure of anything.

cant believe vans want to keep the customers that would feel alienated by this graphic; condemning nazis and the alt right is just about the least controversial thing you can do in 2017
i would say i wont buy anymore shoes from them but i already quit after they started gluing only the bottom of their outsole, haven't had a pair last longer than 4 weeks since 2016

So much this.
It's as if the media would have you believe there's about to be a Klan uprising in every city across the nation, when the only militant ones demanding you abide by the rules or suffer are the same people pushing this tired meme.
Nazis suck, and social justice Antifa-style kooks who are the polar opposite suck as well, I'd like to toss 'em all in a hole and bury them all alive so we can never deal with either extreme again. Someone needs to make a graphic of that, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

There was this rumor circulating around Israel for years that Vans was antisemitic because it has a star of david pattern on the sole and when you write Vans on a hebrew keyboard without switching language it says "destroy" in hebrew. but why would vans use a hebrew keyboard anyway when they named it like 40 years ago?
this is also a classic

cis is a prefix that usually comes before some heterophobic comments.
'cis men make me sick'.
it means like hetero, born w/ a penis men. or women but usually it's always 'cis men' or 'cis white men' and their entitlement [being said by an entitled college educated person].

The way your using the term 'heterophobic' makes it sound like it's an epidemic. Like heterosexuals lives are in danger like gay peoples are. -But I see alot of twisted fuckn shit said on the internet.

you're putting that on it, not me.
i just mean phobic as 'anti' w/ condescension and derision like how some people use 'fag'. it's not actually 'scared' of gays and it's not actually endangering them but it's a pejorative.
i see 'cis' thrown around the same way on the internet.
i've got faith though, in a decade or so it'll die out and everyone will be more accepting of each other

Well no one talks shit about Fred gall.(edit nor should they) Anybody who knows anything knows that vice is currency in the skate world and that it gives you credability as a skater (especially pros).

the funniest thing about the alt right is the theory of white genocide. of all the forms of genocide that have been perpetrated - gassing, shooting, machetes - race mixing sounds like the least frightening way to be wiped out. “you have to have sex with people of other races and make babies. that sexy latina over there wants to genocide you.” if you believe there being only mixed-race people is a frightening prospect or that mixed-race babies are undesirable, I suppose that would be a form of punishment. but it’s still pretty mild comparatively. and yet no one is being forced to mix races either, so there’s another hole in the theory. e.g., most of my white friends have white kids but that’s anecdotal.
