Without the happy music its just a quiet Chinese sweat shop.
Jalen Sourivong or Vietnamese
Bring them back to the USA! And make them wider so that they don't kill wide feet!
+DJ BIS you want wide? wear DC.
...no, dont, them sucky plastic shoes are uglyyyy
You could always just order a wider shoe.
Vans doesn't sell wide. I looked on their website. However, SUPRA has a low top that looks and feels just like a classic vans shoe, with even more comfort. So I have been kicking around with those and im really happy. But Vans has some many cool colorways and styles, I wish they made them wider.Froggie McLillypad
+DJ BIS i feel your pain
+DJ BIS which Supra model exactly?
I've been into Vans for a minute now and so far the Vans company has not let me down I got some original sk8 hi old skools the other day (black and white) so thank you Vans so much and hope to get more products from Vans keep up the good work😁😁🔥🔥👍👍👍
This is one of the saddest videos Ive seen in a long time. When I heard they were moving production to China it made me sick to my stomach. NOT VANS... Vans was a California staple, even going beyond Skateboarding. Back in the day you could go down to the factory and buy shoes from them. It was a part of the culture in California. Those folks from the beginning of this video lost their job to underage Chinese slave laborers. Thanks for all you do for Skateboarding Vans, but sadly I think its only because of Van Doren staying on board even though they sold out to a major corporation. I believe when he passes they will stop doing all they do.
A Burrito Trust brother I know. I started a shop in 08 and had to close last April. You would be suprised how bad it really is. We still have a few hold outs though like BONES.
Are u serious, I was about to comment how awesome it is to see jobs in the USA, until I read your comment, dang is it that bad?
ko
+RcTrue Reason why the shoes feel so shit now.
sad..
I'd love to see how the manufacturing process differs with the Pro Skate range. I've skated standard Vans my whole life and just finished skating my first Pro Skate pair, the Style 112 Pro, and I love them! The waffle under the toes is so thin to allow more board feel while the heal is like skating on a cloud! The build quality is so much better that they feel like they can't possibly be made in the same way as the standard shoes, an example being the flatness of the sole when compared to the slightly concaved waffle on the standard range. Please never discontinue the Pro Classic range!
man you guys work crazy fast with such great quality shoes! who knew a shoe making video would be so cool
Thanks for the love! Glad you enjoyed this as much as we did. If you were stoked on that, catch more from Vans here: bit.ly/2iJ5GMk
Let's look excited in front of our "employees" for this behind the scenes CZcams video of our factory. Also don't show faces but show tags written in Chinese.
Steve seems like such a nice guy. Gotta love a friendly personality.

Skill Master I have them there fucking sick bro go get them make sure you wear something black wit it tho nothing blue
@@vans wow vans actually replies to comments? you guys are my favorite shoe brand just for that
i miss the old Vans, you know, the ones that were "made in the USA" and not an American shoe brand made in some other country because of cheap labor. the US made Vans had soul, had character. i wish i could go back to the 80s, my teens, bmx, skateboard, and of course Vans "made in the USA".
Definitely
well......im still buying Vans.
DonJZA obviously
DonJZA yup
Same
Same lol
Nobody else like this comment it's perfect as it is
To every single person who helped make my black authentic vans thank you God bless you
I love love love love love love loooooooooooove vans they have this soul that brings your inner skater out I learned how to skate 5 yrs ago and I skated with my first pair of vans.

They probably aren't going to be made with the same quality anymore ;(
+Mafic Archer Yep 10 years ago my authentic lasted for about 5-6 years. While I bought new ones in 2015, it only lasted for a year given the conditions I used them for casual wears only.
+Josiah Dave damn dude
authentics
Mafic Archer they been in production from china since the 80s ;:::...D
vans vault
If your into vans or supporting them through some years you'll know they have been aiming to introduce more skews,colorwys designs etc for awhile. .They also have branches in product like the otws they did and lxvi. Now they're backing ultracush I think it was in the works for a little bit
and i like that they did put some of the pieces togheter by hand
That's awesome

Vans no thank you for the blessings keep up the good work #1 in my book
Edgar the don Soto l
oh China...
China is where skating is at now, most American skaters are in China now because they are free to skate unlike in the US these days !
No, the Capitalists are moving to countries with a workforce that have IQs of 100+ with the lowest wages ...otherwise they would be in Eastern Europe, Africa, South America or even Russia ...that is the truth if you can handle it !
www.google.ca/search?q=IQ+map&biw=1600&bih=762&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiI9c-d9tbOAhWKFh4KHZb9CLIQsAQIGg#imgrc=O4WpYUY0oCx1_M%3A
Did you even look at the IQ/Wage map in the link I provided ? ...Wages is on par between Eastern Europe and China, but Chinese workforce has an higher IQ and better manual dexterity and hand to eye co-ordination all very important if you are doing manufacturing !
It's Japan u dumb ass
I'm from Eastern Europe (Macedonia) and trust me, I'd rather work in China for the minimum wage than here cause it's double the minimum wage here. But yeah, education is important and I'm currently on work and studying to become a Chef with experience so the wage will be a lot bigger.
*WOW!!*
I like this guy😎
I LOVE VANS
really cool now I have to go to the vans store
Christopher Thomas ii

Na0 Foxx dont have enough money huh?
Need a 2021 version
Someone needs to put import tariffs back in place, so companies like yourself are forced to bring production back home...greed loses customers
Yeah, cos that worked out really well last time...
sk8 his is a clean model. love the model
Made in China.

well you can't expect that everything is gonna be made were it came from China is cheap and everything is made in China (Almost) did you know Gucci clothes are made in Pakistan Gucci is one of the most expensive clothes you can buy just don't be selfish and why I'm protecting this brand is because I grew up with Vans just don't be selfish if you had a brand you would make it in China Pakistan etc just please stop
Sully is right. ;)
2,876,288 views ...... ok? 😐
Haysh 1 nah, they're made in china because the production cost is gonna be cheaper.
RIP PVD WE LOVE YOU
Damn Vans Store!!! Back at it again with the mad fans!!!
#WhyUNoLeaveItInCA?!?

Iam love vans 🤘🤘
I love vans!!!! #vans
Love the support Gael! Catch more of our story here: bit.ly/2eINhPR
Since China......their shoes are not the same.
It's all in your head, I have several pairs of US made Vans and they are more crappy !
Vans US operation was small compared to the modern plants with high tech equipment in China now. Material selection and quality standards is still Vans design team from Cali !
Kevin Walker
Did you compare to the same Vans shoe model from the US, China, Vietnam and Indonesia ? Probably not because you couldn't afford to buy several pairs of the same shoe ! Compare apples to apple and oranges to oranges before you before you start shooting your loud mouth with unfounded accusations !
You are acting immaturely
Axel Foley I ripped a new pair after putting them on like for the 3rd time :*( guess I need to open the laces wider. wish they were more enviroment ally friendly... they've got a bit greedy I think
extremely well made though just the material sometimes let's them down I find
Met both of those guys they’re fuckin sick vans forever
1:12
Me: ooooooh wafflessssssssss😂😂😂
This makes me want to by a new pair of vans.
Nice
I just bought a pair of Checkered board vans!
The world's most iconic shoes.
40 years old still rocking Vans.
Thanks for uploading this, really needed to know how I can start making vans in my house.
Los mejores del mundo
The sole after heat look like waffle
Becom Cheater I Rush-PvP tru
Who else is ready for breakfast??
still look like waffle
That’s the point
Its called "Waffle-Cup" for a reason
💜💜
The red ones are nice
they been making vans in China for like over +20 years. one of coolest experience was getting swag from the ambassador of fun. that watch broke less than a year later. it was made in China too.
nice sweatshop
Nothing better than the Asian touch
