Is there possibly a video and team announcement brewing at Vans? Over past few months seems like a few people have been wearing just Vans after leaving their fully 'on' spot at other companies.

Kader: Emerica to Vans - Young, good future investment
Jerry: Emerica to Vans - Could be reaching a 'legend' status soon. Colorways on classic models could sell for years to come.
Axel: New Balance to Vans - Toy Machine video soon. Axel and Lizzy couple shared part.
Greyson Fletcher: Nike to Vans - Fits the gnar bowl thrashin hesh big air criteria

CK1 is seems to just be bro flow.

Ben k cons to vans bc there was already a shaved head punk rocker dude with the same highwaters and shoes on hockey/ supreme but french

But really, everyone knows vans is usually the default brand for pros in shoe sponsor limbo

Pretty sure Kadow is just on pro flow, same is probably true for Axel and Greyson, possibly Hsu too. Their pro flow team is massive. Only dude I could see them pushing hard is Kader because he's killing it super hard and has already been getting mad coverage.

imagine everyone starts leaving their nike/adidas/nb/cons sponnos and goes to Vans and then Vans becomes the big 1 and everyone hates vans and then nike and adidas crumble in all aspects of their brand whether it be basketball, tennis football.. and then become a core skate brand and then its cool to like them again because i remember when it was cool to like nike in the pre 'janoski shoe' and 'lets take every rider from their current team by offering them loads of money and sk8ter outfits' days. and then that all goes to hell and then adio and airwalk and duffs comes back to life and people wear them and then circa and osiris make really good full lengths, and then lakai start to make a newfull length and ty evans dies half way through filming, so they start again and its an awesome video and lakai never suck again and jamie thomas digs fallen out of the grave everything has come full circle and lakai/emerica/fallen rule the footwear market again and everything is okay and thats good because thats how i like it then the world implodes and skating never sucks again because it finished on top

If Ben is on Vans, it’s probably to go on trips with AA and that Dalton Newbury kid (plus AVE, Dill & Elijah) since the other Hockey guys are on Nike.

They are starting a B team, kinda like Nikes “Core” program with Cyrus and all the 917 dudes.

Jerry and CK1 are just bro flow, nothings happening with them.

But Kayder, Ben K, Axel, the Canadians, are all about to have their own little squad

kinda crazy that those guys will be the b-team, but thats cool for the canadians. also kinda crazy jerry is just bro flow for a company

pretty sure kader and axel explicitly left emerica and nb# to get on vans.

Reaching far on this subject...Not too many shoe options out there that don't suck. Vans is crushing it and supporting riders. change topic to Vans Appreciation..

Im so torn what to do with vans these days. I do appreciated all the money they give back into skateboarding and I do enjoy skating in them. On the other hand, it makes me cringe when I walk into a mall and see vans in every store. Do i really want to be wearing a brand carried at DSW? I know vans has been carried in sports stores for a very long time but the shoes were so different that it almost was like two separate brands. Now they have all these modified versions of the classics and just name them something else.

As an identity of a skateboarder I don't want to be under the same class as everyone else. Is it just me that feels this way?

Yeah because they market themselves exclusively to skateboarders.

Jerkstore · « **Reply #23 on:** July 30, 2018, 10:23:26 AM »

vans are great, even though everyone wears them I still think skaters look more kooky in a pair of nikes or addidas

plus skate shoes are expensive, whereas with vans you can get a pair of cheap slip-ons for like 30$

The quality of their shoes is horrible that's why you get them for 30 bucks. I went in a vans outlet store recently there was nothing core about it. The manager was showing customers shoes and then telling them the appropriate outfit to wear with them

culturally at this point old skools and authentics are just mainstream sneakers with skate heritage. whereas i feel like skate-his still have the skateshoe awareness with most people that buy them.

what i mean is that many people that wear old skools and authentics today are oblivious to the fact that skaters actually still skate in these, even tho regular authentics are like the worst shoes to skate in and old skools fit inconsistently. vans in general are still subpar skateshoes in regards to how well they hold up and how well they fit. they skate good for three days, then feel like crap, not including halfcabs.

i still buy vans from time to time because i like how they look so when i see a cheap pair of old skools or halfcabs that fits well i usually get them. it's a bit like with levis 501s, you have to try them on, because they fit a little differently everytime, but you can get em cheap and it's a classic, if boring look.
