In 1975, my first "real" job was for Vans. I was 16 . I ran the store by myself. And as a hiring bonus I got a free pair of Vans The store on El Camino was as I remember it was maybe 20 X60, with a tiny backroom. All the shoes were displayed on the shelves in the store. That's when they were produced in Anaheim, Ca. (I worked there too) Before the off the wall logo. Steve Van Doren and his wife would come by frequently. I remember taking special order for school with her own fabric. Orders for people with different sized feet, you name it Vans could do it. and since they were made in Anaheim... little turnaround. I loved my first job. Thanks for the memories.
I remember going down to the factory in Orange CA and watching them make my skate hi's. think the quality of the shoe has gone down since the 90s. wish they still made them in the states... but hey cash is king in this industry
jake jones is a dipshit.remember how the tissue paper used to stick to the real gum rubber soles when you'd take 'em out of the box?nice.....the quality is shit now........
I was in a mall skate shop and the guy didn't know what half cabs were. Happy to see someone mention half cabs. Gotta go to the mall to get any gear where I live, coincidentally I want to strangle people those days.
Great movie! I really liked how you guys went through the eras. I just wished you kept the old grainy look you had for the intro of each era. It was suiting for the era and felt right I didn’t feel like I was in the 80s when you had a super high quality modern dslr. That was my only complaint. Great job
All of the throwback intros have totally wrong decks/equipment. The 1988 segment had a 1990/1991 Hosoi Tuff Sk8s deck. You figure Vans of all companies might know their history a bit better.
I'm no skater..i don't know how to skate..but i love watching skateboarding..and i support it.. I have a pair of Vans chukka low and Rowley pro.. am i considered a poser since i wear those even i don't skate?
Iddra they sell from $50-$75 are you saying it will cost $500 for a pair of Vans? Seems ludicrous. Bans were never that expensive when they came out in the 70s even with the cost of inflation they wouldn't be that expensive. I'm sure the company would still make a profit if they were made here and would gain much more integrity and respect amongst Americans. Even internationally. Will they do it? Probably not.
I sure in the hell wouldn't and neither would you. So I guess since we're both Americans it's cool as long as someone in Asia, Africa or Latin America do it. We need to demand more from the companies that claim to represent this nation and state. What a disgrace that Vans chose to move their operations to another country just to make larger profits. I'm not saying I don't buy Vans, but I also don't pretend to ignore what they are doing and maybe if more people speak up they will do the right thing. Change has to start somewhere. Tony Alva and the rest of the skaters for CA set a new trend in skateboarding, but it had to start somewhere.
fresh from the chinese sweatshop ! thumbs up for like. communists help keeping the imperial consumer dream alive. paying more for one pair than any of those people make a month.

Man!! 90's Vans where the best!! I really miss them. Remember the logo? Was so cool also.
Awesome ! I miss skating.........

I sacraficed my last pair if half cabs to the skate gods, guess I shouldve got em at a shop, it was late needed to skate, fuck it
I was in a mall skate shop and the guy didn't know what half cabs were. Happy to see someone mention half cabs. Gotta go to the mall to get any gear where I live, coincidentally I want to strangle people those days.
OG old skols pro
I had black n red Rowley Xlt's way back in 03! I wish that they still made them absolutely loved em.
vans are very cute
One of the greatest company's ever. Can't go wrong. Half cabs rule hu?
Men dies, the boards decays, but the spirit will lives on.
Need to bring back the fat tongue shoes with the airbags. So good to skate in.
I love vans for skating so much! Also is Ross goofy?! This is so inspiring makes me wanna skate more and get more vans skate shoes!

No man.

Credit end song?
did vans used to be made in America? (Cali?) They should make them here again. I wonder when they changed.
are you willing to pay 10x more for them?

mrabelonee would you work for $50/month, or sometimes nothing?

I feel sorry 4 the people who make vans they only get pay for 5 cent
lol
Just saying
man the filming is bad.... you'd think a company with profits as big as Vans could find someone with experience....
Devin Wiles sorry you don't like our work :(
what a gross time in skating. don't think we will be re living this kinda west 49 shit... or at least i hope
las peores zapatillas de skate del mundooo .. para un video capitalista estan bien ..
The clips definitely kicked ass, the music....not so much.
