I don't get it, I wear them because they look nice and are comfy, what meme is there?

I’ll be honest: I’ve never owned a pair of vans

>>14178682
It's a california thing. Some of it is nice. Some of it is skate trash.

>happy well-adjusted people wear vans
damn, really made me think

>>14178666
Is there anything more basic?

>>14178691
>It's a california thing.

>>14178691
california is truly the worst place in earth (unless you're a billionaire)

>>14178666
>he fell for the "v-vans are too popular so i can't wear them!" meme
loser

old skools are thoroughly basic, authentics and slipons are okay (for now...)

>>14178725

>be me
>be skater for years
>vans are my favorite brands because cheap+stylish+somewhat durable
>ff a couple years
>the zumiez plague hits
>sloots and posers wearing thrasher shirts, ripped jeans, and vans
>price of vans basically doubles

Looks like i'm wearing etnies for now

>>14178793
Where the fuck do you live that Vans cost more than they used to
Also "posers" give the skate industry a shit ton of money and don't hurt anyone so who cares

>>14178666
Am I the only one who hates the look of vans?

I’ve been wearing black low top vans forever idk what the big deal is

>>14178828
Maybe it's because of where I grew up but Vans and skate shoes in general are the only shoes I really like the look of.
I think things like Jordans and shoes of that nature just look goofy and chunky. I like low-profile, simple shoes I can skate in.

>be broke growing up
>wear shit like vans,champion,etc
>get made fun of and called broke for wearing it
>fast forward to today
>wearing all this shit is the cool thing to do

>>14178851
>Maybe it's because of where I grew up
Yeah probably has a large influence. I'm from West EU where no one skates so maybe that's why.

>>14178675
This.

$50 vans last as long as any expensive brand too, so they're great for day-to-day use.

>>14178952
>vans
>lasting long
Guarantee this post was made by a poorfag that's never had a good pair of leather shoes

>>14178814
Midwest.
I remember I was like 12 when I bought my first pair of vans, they were like $25, and i would buy a new pair every year and they were around $30 or $40. Last pair I bought were almost $70.

>>14178959
he's talking about sneakers you autistic fuck

>>14178970
Even by sneaker standards they don't last for shit, midsole rips opens in 4 months of regular use.

>>14178979
The fuck do you do to your shoes dude

>>14178970
>pass user calling someone an autistic fuck

Not Van's fault you drag your feet

>>14178666
Is this an ad for apple watches?

>>14178959
Ive had a pair of the xtuff white hi top vans for 4 years now and theyre still in great shape

>>14178716
it's synonymous with california skate culture, it's the same as saying riding boots are an east coast thing or lily pulitzer is a southern thing...or do you pretend that different regions don't have different styles?

>>14179293
It's probably Van's fault that they make a shoe that explodes if it comes into contact with the ground more than 300 times

>>14178716
Vans was literally started in California. It became the go-to shoe for skateboard kids in the region. The brand became famous when it was worn by Sean Penn's character in Fast Times At Ridgemont High, who was a Cali surfer dude.

>>14178675
>they look nice

>>14178691
cringed at this post

>>14178675
Meme is that basic bitches have replaced their uggs with them. Sucks.

>>14178857
Well at least now you got a cool gif anon

>>14180173
Who cares though?

>>14180195
Autists on the internet fashion board.

>>14178952
The best $50 shoes are New Balances you dolt

Vans are a lot better looking than Converse shoes, that's just my two cents. Converse models look like clown shoes.

>>14178793
I thrifted a pair of blue Etnies and they were my favorite shoe for a while, then I took a vacation to LA and there was so much dog shit literally everywhere that I had to trash them. Do people in LA just not know how to clean up after their animals?

>>14178952
