Justin Henry of Vans

[notinternetfamous]

Damn, that’s sick.  Also looks like another Franky colorway on the table, the outdoor looking brown one, except the N looks bigger on that model so not sure.

And what shoe is Reynolds holding??

The outdoor shoe on the table is just the 440T or 440 Trail which they've done different colors before. not so sure about the shoe the Boss is holding

1. Love the Hunter X Hunter avatar

2. I lucked out and got a pair of the 440T’s for $69. Those things cost more than 1010's at regular price.

[FirstTimeCaller411]

Damn, New Balance will be sick if this is for sure.

He was on Vans apparel too, right? What brand would be sick for him to get on or I wonder if he has anything lined up?

[Made In China]

^ Truly a first timer huh

NB making big power moves. I just posted in the NB thread about how they're dropping sick shoes and colorways, so this is a pretty fitting follow up. Maybe now I'll have to get rid of my Crockett High collection to make more room for new NBs.....

[Murge]

NB is absolutely crushing in 2023. Also curious about what shoe Reynolds is holding. I thought 272 but that’s not it cause the toe cap.  That black and orange Franky is sick. I’m so hyped on NB. Hoping for NB edits. The team is stacked

[mattchew]

Their team is very stacked, need Trahan footage ASAP.

I really like the AVE Pro.

[close]

A great shoe.

[close]

I’m going to skate these until I can’t find any more pairs in my size.

[close]

I loved the AV Classics and had those in a few different colors. Hope they keep making them. The AVE Pro's are very comfortable. Will provide update after I skate them.

I'm debating stocking up on AVE Pros. I loved my first pair and have one on ice right now, alongside a few Emerica slip cups on ice. I don't go through shoes fast, so I'm debating just stocking up on both of those to last me the rest of my life as long as I throw in random other models in every so often. But my apartment is also filled with other shoes I have that I wear but I'll never skate so I'm in quite a dill of a pickle.

Abstract orgy sounds pretty fucking tight. Or loose. Whatever.

Are their boards somewhere in that wall photo? I can't pick them out, if so

Would back the Charlie Brown board if it was for Levi Brown.

The filmers and editors that vans hires to make vans videos are really "on the pulse" with skating

[close]

Fixed

[close]

Is this uniquely true for Vans, or do we think that Phil Knight fundamentally understands skateboarding?

[close]

My guy, the point is they might as well be the same at this point.

Doesn’t mean that your argument isn’t uniquely dumb.

[close]

The movie Air that just came out has a scene of Phil Knight watching the guy who disnigned the AJ1 popping some pretty nice kickflips in the company parking lot from his office.

[close]

Lol.  Saw that too.  Considering that film took place in 1984 that is pretty questionable historically.  Not only did that dude not actually skate (I’m guessing), how many people could even kickflip back then?  Rodney, Mark, Natas…?

[close]

1984? The flatground ollie wasn't even really a thing yet. No way a kick flip was happening by anyone.

Outside of Rodney and some other freestylers, no street skaters really had them on film or photo until 1986, Tommy G was ollieng over Bushes in 85, but no one on street was doing proper kickflips

[Bigfoot is real]

Dustin > Justin

[DarkPools]

Thanks everyone for helping decode those other boards/skaters.

Also, "matlok marcello" confused me because that's two different people haha
I dig Marcello Campanello and didn't realize he was on MXA

Gotta check Matlok Bennet out

On his Instagram wearing NB. A tad sad to see him leave Vans. Loved seeing him in Old Skools & Authentics. Oh well….

Flo is second from the left on the top row. It's one of his old Cliche models, not a Habitat one.

Can't recall which Thrasher but over a year ago Spenny had an ad for NB with the 425 in white/burgundy. He's been on for a solid minute

Spencer had an ad and some video stuff from us in 2022 when he officially got on.  I think early in 2022 when we launched the NM425 white one.  We also did a bunch of POP with him for in-store ads up in his zone of BC.
