Last time I had Vans, I was in 4th grade when I tried skating. haha. Shits are wack, too trendy now. If I was to buy skater shoes, I would buy from the other real skater companies. Right now I'm sporting some Lacoste shoes, the Camden Retros. I like them. Reebok Classics are dope as well. K-Swiss are always clean as well of course. But Vans??? CMON, WTF you thinking if you buy Vans now. haah
