They go with anything so you can't go wrong. They'll probably stick around longer for this second time around

 

[ZOMBAVELI THE DON]

since like 09-10 but seem like they gained more hype recently

 

[frshstunna]

One younger dude in my office wears a black pair with the brown soles to the office everyday

 

[Hahahaha]

Disappointed to see them all over NY now. Vans were always wack as hell to me. Straight white people shoes. I'll never own a pair.

With shoes going up to $180-$220, it makes sense people buying them. They're popular and classics and they cost a fraction of what the other shoes cost.

 

[shogun]

Why would you be disappointed? You're not the one wearing them.

Yea I can confirm Vans was poppin back in the " rockstar/ skateboard days" ...nothin like seeing some bootcut jeans laying over a pair of vans with a wallet chain hanging

They been back round here for a couple years now but only with the teenagers, they be doing big numbers with the back to school sales ...my barber was just talking bout how many pairs he had to grab for his daughters last week

Yup. N***** used to hit the outlets in Hagerstown and cop up in 06/07. Arrunel Mills had a vans store too I think

Wow. Swore that was just a Cali thing.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Damn didn't know vans were
More of a cali thing. I need to go to asap and get a sense of the style.

Prett cool.

What do you guys wear casually then? Vans da GOAt for casual. Or with jeans? Y'all still wear jeans with basketball shoes?

Vans have always been hella popular, but not on the level that we have seen for the past 2-3 years. It wasn't until I left the hood, and went to middle school with middle and upper class kids that I seen it for myself. Them kids out there used to rock the slip ons and authentics all the time.

My lil sis just copped these cream pink old skools which I think are fiyah, if I had a girl I would cop her those.

By the way old skools>>>>>>authentics

i was doing da math, @ 60 bucks a clip, guess these da most decent thing going.

walking on these these though is like walking barefoot in da worst way

i always laugh when I hear people with beat up vans/chucks say "these are so comfortable and have always been since I bought them"

 

[BrandNewWithTags]

got a friend that manages a Vans store, telling me how they are opening more locations due to their popularity.

 

[nawghtyhare]

when i used to work at the airport

Op doesn't go further than 96st. Vans have always been popular in midtown/downtown manhattan and with the Asians in queens. he's talking about da heightz which is true a lot of kids are wearing them instead of chucks now
