Vans are NOT just a skater thing....While u won't be seein me sporting any now, they were HUUUUUUGE in the breakin'-b boy era of the early to mid 80s...I had myself a checkered purr and a hat to match with flaps on the back (remember those?) lol
^^^I REMEMBER THOSE, MARK 7!!! SKATERS AND CHOLAS WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT ROCKED VANS IN L.A. IN THE 80'S... I DONT RECALL B-BOYS WEARIN 'EM... BUT THEN AGAIN, I DONT REMEMBER ALOT OF STUFF WHEN I WAS A KID...

I would bet 50 dollars if ANY OF YA'LL had the chance at a free pair of Vans, you would find at least 1 pair that looked good with some of your gear. I dont hate on people for wearing shoes though, that shits as ignorant as racism. FYI- checkerboard slip-ons have been out since about the 70s, maybe even 60s.

Of course, Vans got popular because theyre good for skateboarding. I used to skate and I had a good pair that lasted me a while (which is hard with skate shoes).

Theyre comfy as fuck though, all day. Id take a straight pair of Vans before any Nike shoe out there, except maybe from their "House Of Hoopz" collection. I honestly dont wear Air1's because people are so in love with them damn things these days. My boy got a connek on 40 bones a pair of crispy white Air1s, and Id still rather have paid my 65 for the hi-top Filas Im fuckin with these days.

Bottom Line: If you walk a lot, get a pair of vans. they last long. I can almost garauntee you will find a stylish pair if you order online also.

I been wearing vans since a few years ago but thats because they are a hella good dance shoe. I thought it would be stupid as fuck if hella guys that werent skaters started wearing vans but actually if a nigga can sport em right they do look good.

song is gay... shoes are gay... like the Fuck Vans song says (and I'll likely butcher the lyrics)

"Why wear Vans when you got Jordans?
Vans are shoes that you look real poor in."

I got J's nigga.. so fuck vans.
