DAMN DANIEL! What’s your favorite Vans shoe? I like to stick to my checkered Vans 🔥
Vans ultra range the comfiest shoes ever made.
Pink leopard slip ons.
Timothy Joseph Daliwag I got a buddy who really likes em not a Fan of the Shape but they look Cozy
I had my first vans when I was 7-8 and I thought it was some lame shoe until it got too small on my feet and that happend when I got interested in the shoe 😢 but then I got adidas shoes and then vans again, I got the high sk8 white flame checkers
Rudo the Sk8 his are some of my favorite!
Man, I still remember some class mates in school taking out the almost hand printed Vans catalogue where you could custom order your pair. To me that seemed absolutely crazy back then. Hardly anyone knew of Vans back then here in Germany, that was in the early to mid 80s. Of course those kids were into punk rock and skateboarding and had a mystic aura around them.... good times
Highly Akicktive Yeah man! Same shit was going on here in the states. The brand has survived some crazy times! Thanks for peeping the video as always
As a kid, in the 70's and a teenager in the 80's, i got my vans from the vans store on torrance blvd. & crenshaw blvd. in torrance.
Vans is the most humble shoe I’ve worn mine everywhere and there still going and looking good they go with everything
Vans are awesome. I got my first pair in summer of 1997 along with a pair of Airwalks which, believe it or not, were just as popular as Vans back then. However Airwalk fell off and ended up at Payless eventually. I'm glad Vans hasn't met the same fate.
Chauntel Shannon Yeah Airwalks mistakenly began lowering the quality of their shoes and it ended up costing them. Thanks for watching!
Bro I used to get made fun of for wearing vans💀 always told “why you wearing skippes?, shits lame” now those people who said that are wearing vans now, ironic
Sexy Tomato Vans are some of the greatest shoes money can buy in my opinion. Those people can kick rocks haha
How old were you when people made fun of Vans the 60s lol
I'm really liking these origin stories vids. will you do one for Dr Martens?
James Thomas Sure! I’ll add it to the last thanks for watching 🙏
How about Red Wings? Lol
@ What ?
Rex Nihilum
Itwas a neo-Nazi fashion statement back in the 80s and onwards.
@ wearing docs ?
Super informative and well made. Thanks for putting this together.
One more banger , the work u put in every video is very appreciated by all of us :)
Well done mini documentary! Thanks for doing and posting.
Another fire video!!! Keep it up man! I feel like your channel is gonna EXPLODE! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Btw the fact that the video showed you talking to the camera gave it a cool, almost "story time" feel. Awesome work.
Dario Rolle Haha One can only hope. And thank you so much for the nice comment on the new video style. We will be doing this moving forward so thanks for the feedback!
you can never go wrong with the old skools!!!
Hell yeah Vans are definitely the *most* iconic skate and chill shoe IMO. I haven't owned a pair in years. They never fit my big ass feet the way I like 😒
Ryan Taylor I know lol the actually mold into your fit after a while though. That’s what makes them special
I wear 16's, never had a problem with the fit.
dannggg man this is such a good video. Love the history, story telling, production quality, knowledge dropped. I don't wear vans as much anymore but I used to almost exclusively where vans checkerboard slip-ons in all different colors during my sophomore to senior year in college when they retailed for 34 dollars. Keep up the good work fam!
Five Minute Sneaker TV Thanks Man! I copped my checkered vans at Ross back in the day 🤣

I've also heard that at the beginning Vans was making custom sneakers, and you could have your own custom model by just placing an order at their store and later you will come to pick em up
first pair, back in 1982, fan of vans till today,
I. ❤ Vans shoes. My favs are the Half Cabs & the TNTs. Watching in London UK.
Been waiting on these ( and hopefully a chuck Taylor video soon) want to cop the gumsole old skools soon to go with my burgundy authentics. Might get the classic checkerboard slip ons down the line too

Nice vid! Vans are legend
J J iconic forsure thanks for watching 😎
My favorite are the vans atwood. Dope shoe!
Had slip on, low top and hi tops in my skate days in the 80's.
bought my last pair about 10 years ago. I want a pair of hi-tops again, maybe I'll get a pair in the sales. Just bought a pair of converse in sales Friday.
Can't wait to get a fresh pair for skateboarding. My checkered slip ons are worn out
Haha they stick to the grip tape so well
NachoAverageFinds too well the waffle pattern is almost non existent
Do you use pros? If not, buy pros, normal ones wear out quicker

You guys should make an origin story if the Osiris D3.
I heard the exact same story in another video. Was it you?
It was the company man nvm
Pack Man haha Yeah he did his own thing
@@bletwort2920 sub to me
Vans “No other way” video is so dope
You forgot to mention odd future and how they made vans famous too but still a good video.
Ezra Gonzalez haha very true! Thanks again
hmmm "made vans famous"... i would say also collabed with vans.
🔥🔥🔥
under rated video
Joe Thank you Joe! You’re username is underrated too 🔥🔥🤣
My favorite brand
They even made shoes for paintball in the early 00s! I had a pair.
As the nefew of James van doren I can agree with the contents contained within. I grew up hanging out at the Anaheim, CA. Factory,. At 10 I was the original bargin truck seller at the swap meet at my 13 I worked in the warehouse. I handed out bargin truck fliers with Steve van doren, worked the fairs and even visited Nana vans at Paul van dorens house. Oh need verification there was a Nana vans sub shop behind the Costa Mesa store on harbor blvd. Steve made subs there. At the long beach boat show there was a vans booth , Steve and my father got their picture taken with John Wayne. Yeah those were good times,. Now vans are made in Argentina. Um um no thank you.
Good work pal
Lizo Joseph Thank you for watching!
@@NachoAverageFinds thanks man
Old skool’s are so common now
For dudes, from my generation, Vans were synonymous with Spiccoli, from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Only skaters, and weirdos rocked Vans. How did Hip-Hop cats, started rocking Vans, in recent years, is an enigma to me.
I love me some shoe history 👊
Know It 2 Flip It thanks mafioso !!
Vans are my second favourite skate shoe
wannabe- animator How about your favorite?
@@NachoAverageFinds my favourite Vans or skate shoe
I wear nothing but Vans Pro models the cushion and quality is like no other
Skateboarding on and off for 20 years now...
I have 2 pairs of Vans, both have really thin uncomfortable soles, just like Converse Chuck Taylors. I love the look but can’t wear them for too long before I have to take them off ☹️
The Base God put me onto Vans.
Progressive Viewer Yee yee 🔥🔥
Nice historical lowdown
"got my vans on but they look like sneakers" lmao so many ppl rocking vans after that song came out!
acedogg5549 haha shit was hugeee
Here we are again
Used to buy them in the 70's at the store in Garden Grove, California (Euclid St. & Chapman Ave). They only had three styles but you could customize the toe, mid section and heel different colors. I just bought a pair of navy blue Trujillos. They look sweet, but I don't think they will hold up as well as the original Skate Hi. Too bad they're made overseas now.
A long time ago, I bought my first of a long line of vans I bought. Cant remember the name of that pair of vans. They where blue, and had a stretch thing inside that stretched when u put them on. Stayed tight around the ankle. They where great. Pushing 59 so I have owned some, "VANS". If you could help me figure out the name, be greatly appreciated! Thankx
You should do celebrity influences on sneakers
Billy I did a Tupac video earlier this year. Definitely going to make a series out of it
Definitely especially on skateboarders like Paul Rodriguez Stefan janoski and even Scott disick or even Tyler the creator
hell yeah, love the new format
Dana and the Wolf Thanks foo
🖤🔥
Please do one on Puma
JostenDooley2 Hell Yeah! We plan to do that real soon.
A cup of tea
Those half cabs gotdamn
Fresh AF
Man U Gotta Do The Reebok Workout lows they got Famous Cuz Of New Orleans rapper Soulja Slim They Know As Soulja Rees In The South And Can You Do Doc Martians Air Maxes And Timberlands
EastcoastChris TV hell yeah man I plan on doing a whole Reebok series eventually. My favorite brand
Bro could you do one ultra boost
Zaul Camargo Hell Yeah bro! Maybe next month 🙏
NachoAverageFinds okay thx
I had to search your channel to see this video. My bell has *been* on though. Anyway I'd take any low-cut Vans shoe with the padded ankle collar, it makes for a good addition to an extremely comfortable shoe. After such a long time I wonder why they haven't thought of adapting the overall design to formal shoes for those in the corporate world.
Lebogang Seleleko Ah CZcams’s algorithms are so strange these days. Thanks for watching man! The Vans Era with padded ankle collar are the most comfortable shoes
You didn't talk about how Geoff Rowley got vans to change from cupsoles back to their roots of vulcanized shoes , the stripe on the side and off the wall logo.
