Been using Vans since college. Today I own 2 Slip-ons, 2 Oldskools, 1 Chukka low, 1 Era, 1 Authentic, 1 Halfcab , 1 Zapato Del Barco and Vans Vault Sierra 106 LX. Lately been shifting to Nike SB's but wouldn't get rid of my beloved Vans.

Love Vans, always have since the mid 90s. But I'm annoyed that a lot of people are wearing them slip- ons now. It used to be that only scene kids would wear them, now everyone wears them -- and I ask myself, do they even know the history of what they're wearing?

 

Anyways, still have a lot of Vans stuff even though I've been getting more and more stuff from other skate brands as well (eS, Lakai, Emerica, ZY, etc). Owned a lot more over the years, but here's what I have at the moment:

 

Half Cab

Full Cab (20th Anniversary Edition)

Rowley XLT

Rowley XLIII

No Skool (Dustin Dollin Edition)

Old Skool

Authentics

2x Slip- on

True that! A lot of people at work rocks slip-ons. Sad that most people would blindly wear gear and not know the history. For example they would wear certain brands and not know the lifestyle behind the brand. There was a time when the only people that would cop and rock these shoes were skateboarders, dudes who play in bands and the people who follows both scenes and they were dissed by wearing the kicks by the very same people who wears them nowadays(based sa experience ko lang 'to kasi yung mga tropa ko dati pinagtatawanan nila ako dahil sa checkered slip-on ko, pero ngyon dami nilang slip-ons, yung mga makulay na designs pa).

 

Anyways, I still love Vans pati nasa nagdadala na yan, mahahalata mo naman e.

Vans has come a long way and they are ok! I think what blew them up mostly was that Stoopid Vans song by Wolfpack!
