The Vans Thread

[Purplelabel]

The Chima Furguson Pro model has been one of the best shoes I've skated in. So comfortable and look great!

Agree - For BMX, I forgot how much I missed the heel padding and overall beefier construction compared to the classic lines. I was trying to get by in old skools, but the estate model of the Chima is pretty perfect (to protect those ankles from crank bites). I've had 3 pairs since they were introduced

You want some Vans, man?

Yes, I think you do.

Sure, yeah.

Why not?

@Parker What color/model are those gold-ish and light gray-ish authentics? Both are cool.

 

[Parker]

The gold ones are Vault OG 43 in "honey mustard" https://www.endclothing.com/dk/vans-vault-og-style-43-lx-va3dpbqmd.html

The beige ones are regular Authentics in "chambray". Slim profile. The metal eyelets are a nice touch. When I've done Customs orders, I go with metal eyelets and white foxing stripe. https://unionjackboots.com/vans-chambray-authentic-slim-gray-true-white.html

I'm still wearing Vans in a Boston winter. 4 season shoe!

Thx Parker!

Could be the best use of 20 pairs of red Old Skools:

Vans are comf-ier than Converse imo. I dunno about arch support. I have pretty flat feet. A few models have Cush insoles. And the Lites have a spongy feel, sorta like Nike Frees. I like the suede versions. esp navy.

I have a pair of suede Buttero lo's. Sadly my suede vans are much more comfortable.

Building these customs now. Slip-on Pro, navy suede. I want to try the gum sole but marshmallow white is winning in my head. Suedes last me forever. Canvas only a couple of summers.

waiting patiently for an all tan suede og slip to be made

Has anyone tried comfycush?

Has anyone tried comfycush?

I'm curious as well. I will say that Ultracush models are extremely comfortable compared to standard models. Once I tried the pro skate models with Ultracush, I was sold.

Build these custom Authentic's last year:
