- This is Vans. Established 1966.
Skateboarding has always been in a perpetual state of progression which means the Berrics must also be in a perpetual state of creating progressive content if we have any chance of surviving this cyclone of confusion and heartbreak called the world. With new companies popping up every month, other companies infiltrating the space and old companies going out of business, there are THE companies that have continually influenced the culture of skateboarding, inside and out. They've weathered every storm and stomped their own footprint into the concrete jungle of skateboarding history. They are the established brands without being the Establishment. This is Vans. Established 1966. -- sb

Geoff Rowley: "They were still good. There were holes in the side." Spoken like a true skater.
Back in 1977 I'd wear vans while riding my BMX Supergoose with Oakley F1 grips, KKT pedals and life was simple. Bless vans for being there.
Vans RULE! Been wearing them since 1978. My closet is still full of them!
My favorite shoe. It’s so awesome hearing and reading the background of how the shoe was established. #vansaresodope
When you have flat feet but love vans even though it hurts your feet
I have flat feet
I wish you could still buy just one shoe at a time.
Michael Whittiker whn the hell was tht, never heard of tht before
You still can at the vans store
You don't skate switch?
This makes me cry,, i love sk8ing and vans. Omg sk8boarding saved my life... i know u know what i meen . Old school, new school. Park or street. Thank you god for this simple pleasure .
This is awesome, I was friends and went to Corona high school with Steve Van Dorens daughter in the mid nineties. They would have sales at the ducks arena parking lot where we got Van's for 10 to 15 bucks.
Here's a good story for you kids: I got my first pair of Vans in 1967, when I was 11 years old (they were called Deck Shoes back then). When we got to the Vans store, I had no problem picking out the style I liked... There were 5-hole lace-ups in Navy Blue, or White and slip-ons in Navy Blue, or White. The important feature was the 5-holes, other shoes only had 4-holes. I can't wear Vans anymore... not enough support for my feet!
Melissa Ohlsson comfy Cush, they make special vans for people with sensitive feet.
I live in Australia and started getting Vans in the 80's. Back then pretty much the only way to get Vans here was via mail order through ads in Thrasher by places like California Skate Express.
The current day Anaheim Factory Collection are pretty nice, but nothing can compare to the old "Made In USA" Vans. They felt different, they smelled different, they looked different. They were handmade, and as the ads said, "no two shoes are exactly alike". The slight imperfections were what made them special, but the materials they used back then were better than now.
I really miss the USA made Vans, but the Anaheim Collection they're doing now are pretty good aesthetically and a nice substitute..
I'm 51 now and they're still my shoe of choice.
3:58 - Eagle Rock store! I have fond memories of going there when i was a kid and picking out a pair.
I wish they were still made in California.
They have a special collection named 'made in Anaheim'
mrabelonee Or watch the video about how down the Chinese folks are that fabricate them overseas. Good people working hard to make a living. Just like US!!!
@@MisterElement yeah no doubt but they're subjugated to terrible work conditions and pay
I wish everyone saw the pain and work that we put into skating -.- it's basically our art just in a more exciting and more dangerous aha
"Yeah we love Skateboarding"
Vans are so comfortable and they always have some awesome new print that always gets me hooked on a new pair. Star wars you say? Yeah I'll take two pair. 31 and still wearing them. Probably going to to wear them for life. I got a picture will the owner when I was a kid. Guy is so chill.
Got 5 pairs of vans love them!! They should make a true story movie about it!! How it all started!!
I've never in my life has a successful time riding a board. my balance is really bad, but my dad use to skate back in 1968-72 and he always wore authentic vans. and he always bought me Era styled vans, yet I never skated well in my life, it's just a comfortable shoe to me, my old faithful kind of shoe
Sk8-Hi for ever
Syl hold skool 4ever
Syl YESSSS
Use to get them from G&S Oceanside......custom ...had to fill out paper and wait a month....RIP SHELL BOWL & GEMCO BOWL!
Still have my Tony Alva Vans from about 10 years ago.
They are in great shape, and I rarely wear them.
I wish Vans would produce them again.
I’ve always been a skater,and I’m 14 now and at my school, hair must’ve been above the eyebrows. It could be a little longer and my point is, watching skaters and looking at the magazines I’ve always wanted that long hair. So in summer I would grow it out long. I’ve always wanted to look like a skater or surfer
i honestly don’t think i will buy another pair of shoes other than vans. i don’t personally skate but i just love the idea of them, and someday I want to try skateboarding. I’ve worn vans for years and i buy the exact same pair and color every time.
Thank you!!!
Vans! Forever The Sickest Shoes. 🤘
For those of you who say vans don't have much support try the chukka lows with ultracush
had a pair of blue suede low cut blue bottom AND brass eye holes for the strings..miss those..just said van Doran on the back.
Vans are great for more than just skateboarding, they grip my mountain bikes pedals really well and I can only whip if I have vans on because I know that they won't slip like my other shoes.
stephen deben yea the sk8 hi is more acknowledged as a bmx shoe
My favorite skate shoe
Very Nice!!!!
Watched this and the rest tons of times on theberrics.com love it :)) I don't slate anything but vans :)) I currently have the halfcab :) I had the chukka lows before that and authentics and eras before that :)) thanks to the berrics for helping us understand one of the biggest shoe companies in the skate business :))
I want to be able to Ollie on to a car like that dude
me do too
I fucking love skating vans
4:55 what’s up with his ankle?
great video:)
So glad they made vans wide feet
I LOVE VANS !!!!!💯💯💯💎💎💎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sick dude
Vans all day everyday 💯💪🏾😎🙏🏾🗣️
wasn't Hosoi sponsored by Converse back in the day lol
He had to take all the endorsements after getting out of PRISON 🤙
@@gkhanjriii91-04 he was on Converse well before he went to prison.
i'm not a skater coz i don't know how to skate..but i love watching skateboarding shows and love wearing vans shoes specially the chukka low & rowley pro... am i considered a poser??
Nellyzo clinkz no your not a poser you at least did something different like started wearing vans gnarly bro
nobody cares about that dude, don't worry
NellyBoy27 Lorenzo dude, start skateboarding, its awesome
Thing is i have 3 pairs im not a skater i longboard and relax they are just great shoes
JTDavis 😂
Just make the bottom more durable but everything else is really good I love the skate slip on’s and the ultra Cush saves my feet when I do stairs or I jump down things
$4.49 in 1966 is $35.47 today.
$8 in 1974 is $43.50 today.
Vans today are $50, $65 depending on the style.
I know so many people who say shoes used to be so cheap, and now they're crazy expensive. But that's not true at all.
Vans is a famous brand today, so of course the price is higher, but not by all that much.
Imagine if the shoes that we $4.49 became $5.76 because they were name brand.
Just got a new pair of vans
Vans is just the best skate shoe on earth
love my half cabs
I wish vans where still made in America .
Vans are great but they need arch support.
+friendofCHAKA Try their pro line of shoes they have a memory foam insole in them. I totally agree with you but I bought a pair of TNTs and they were super comfy
Heathcliff same here cause i have a super flat foot but all skate shoes are flay
Try super feet
@@Vinlyguyx420x Always wanted a pair of those.
2019?
The vans I bought lasted ONE WEEK, a whole SEVEN DAYS, and the entire front rubber was worn through and the sole was completely separated from my foot part.
I practiced with them quite a bit during that week, doing nothing but kickflips, but still
I wore Vans then Airwalks and in 1986 it all changed. I could go to the local athletic store and buy last years outdated Air Jordans for $25.99 plus tax and the shoe came with good cushion. The Whackers felt bulky compared to Vans or Airwalks at first, but we all got used to it. The change I talk about is documented in the Chin Video so anyone who thinks I am wrong can go watch the Chin Video.
The vibes..they must be missed.
My first were ripped up hand downs blue/red @ skatopia bupk can 77/78 I was stoked
Does no one else think vans have no support? I skated one pair and went straight back to emerica. Fuck getting heel bruises
Jamie Deakin Gotta get the ones with UltraCush and thicker sidewalls, otherwise you're getting the Vans that every non-skater gets. They have two levels to the Off the Walls, chill shoes with thin padding and Pro's with extra thick inner sole and overall tougher construction.
Both pairs Ive had were rowleys, didn't realise there was two versions
I'm skating emerica Reynolds threes right now loving the cup sole goodbye heel bruises. Never skating vans again.
Jamie Deakin i just bought a pair of emerica and the sole fell off, twice yts happend, so im going back to vans
Jamie Deakin first time I rode tore a hole in the side and kept getting holes in my socks
My first vans were checkerd grey ones
when anthonys part in the video he was in my neighborhood La street skaters
Jay Adams, Tony Alva and Shogo Kubo all skated Nike in addition to Vans. Christian is well aware of that. Christian was synonymous with Chuck Taylor's in the eighties and sponsored by Converse.
Billy Ruff sent a portfolio and then a letter to Nike explaining that he had always preferred Nike's to Vans and pleaded with them to send him shoes at least every other month.
I've skated nothing Vans for the last 14 years and it's not because I think it's the best shoe for skateboarding or the best quality.
I have the same exact vans as Christian
1:56 i thought it was mark hoppus talking lol
The Authentic Pros are currently the best shoe in skateboarding.
I wish they still sold one foot lol
vans.
I have been a strong Vans enthusiast for the entirety of my skateboarding "career", but I have to say that recently I have been extremely disappointed in the quality of the shoes I have gotten. I order my Vans from Tactics and the last 3 pairs of Old School Pro or Era Pros I have purchased have torn on the upper canvas near the big toe. The worst part is that this was during the Minnesota winter so the shoes were skated in maybe a handful of times. At this point I've chosen to write it off as a fluke but if the pair of Era pros in my closet do the same thing and I don't get a response from Vans I will be sad to say I will be buying my first pair of non-Vans skate shoes.
Vans revolucionária no mundo do skate
Just to think vans authentics were 4 bucks now there from 50-70 dollars
is it too late for me to skateboard and be good at it I'm 16 years old when I was little I was more of a bmx kid
+GG GG Never too late to skate. Mike Vallely was like 14 or 15 when he first started
+GG GG Practice and hard work makes up for time. It's as serious as you treat it.
I'm 20 I will start skating this summer after exams
crapsack47 thanks bro or sis I don't want to be pro but want to be good as a pro
Bastien Fratta good for you it's not too late some old people could skateboard to
Let's make one thing perfectly clear...VANS do not offer the best support. However, they DO offer the best board feel
The Gilberts are the best in my opinion
My first pair of vans I got in early 90's, and they were mostly black(suede) and had a rubber toe cap, with white/gum cupsole. The reason I'm typing all of this is in hopes that someone will know the sneaker I'm talking about and can tell me the name of the model as well as what year it came out. I've been trying to figure this out for about 10 years with no luck. any help would be appreciated.
Vans happy daze
+25yearssk8nerd op8surviver good luck with the hunt man
5:32-34 damn!
2018 anyone????
Alva top dog!
I hate it how vans started so amazing, how it was the first skate shoe. Now all the rich kids at school wear them not knowing the history and culture that went into the shoe and now the shoes aren't designed for skating as much because they aren't used for skating as much
Dipper Pinesmabel at my school rich kids wear Jordons and ect not vans , I like vans cuz they cheap and I'm into skating but I'm not that good but I been practing everyday
Look at all these shaped boards dude
Siiiiiick! !!
Fuck yea Anthony van englen
Off the wall
i love vans the only thing is that they rip really fast
Nike sb is mad
I highly doubt so
Ha Rodney Mullen was born in 1966
Vans or die!
:)
Legenda em potugues pfv :)
Van engelen didn’t know he going to be soty bruh
Tiffany sbs
I just get vans because they look nice. I'm ashamed for not using them skating and i do not skate at all.
Mr. GOAT Same here dude, it's common now actually
Casey neistat vibes bruh
I love vans but i'm not a good skater
Vans are still dope but now that they make them in mass production they weaker
its about what you like for me vans rip easier
Hosoi had to grab all the endorsements after getting out of PRISON , Con-verse probably dropped him after he got busted with meth on Oahu 🤙
caca
It's a good and classic shoe but the quality sucks. You can't do many tricks well after a skate day the shoe is destroyed. #keepitbarefoot
etnies are so much better
Vans suck to skate in because they rip quick that's just my opinion
Samuel Victorio They have ones with Dura Cap
nike will always be better
gil ortiz I bet your favorite skater is P Rod too huh
Ricky Spanish its actually not i have prods to skate tho and they haven't even tore yet i live vans to go out but nikes just last longer if i skated vans they will rip in a day and my favorite pro skater is evan smith and he doesn't even ride for nike he rides for dc head ass
gil ortiz Evan Smith is the goat yo, but i completely agree. Vans do rip pretty easily but i guess that kinda ties in with what i love about them. The thinness, the complete board feel with soles that can still handle a drop. I just hate Nike for it's sellout moves, and it's way of slapping their name of everything including skating. Tennis, nike. Basketball, nike. Basically anything they're capable of getting. Vans though, vans is die hard skste passion.
Ricky Spanish i mean vans are awesome i love the style of the shoe if i was rich or sponsored then i would always wear them but i need a shoe that will last me at least a month but longer thanks to shoe goo
gil ortiz I got a pair just yesterday, popped three ollies and BOOM ripped. I would definitely have no problem skating for them, always looking stylish while ripping for the team
All this beautiful and amazing history and Billie Eilish sees Vans and thinks “small d**k energy”? She couldnt see the beauty of the collaboration between the blossoming skateboarding community and a company working together than shes blind.
Hosoi wore nothing but converse
travis monroe Not in his early years. I've seen a handful of pics with him wearing Vans before even even turned pro.
ErgoCogita well, you're nothing till you're pro
travis monroe "Pro" is just a title one gets when they get paid. Getting paid has fuck all to do with skateboarding.
I was trying to be funny
travis monroe
Noted... Fucking internet sarcasm is so hard to detect sometimes...
