The heel is slightly higher, little less padding. Heels were made higher to lock your foot in more and keep it from slipping out. As well the rubber outsole besides the gloss finish, it’s higher for better grip. The pattern was made bigger for the same reason. Also there’s a sort of plate on the bottom sole so instead of it being flexible when having in hand and trying to bend in half you can’t. Pop Cush no different just slimmed by the slightest.
Do you own a pair? This is the thing I was most interested in when I heard about it. The last classic style I tried to skate were Era’s and they always hurt my foot because the inner area of the shoe wasn’t tall enough and the upper pushed down hard on the bridge of my foot. Wondering if the change with these is super minor and barely noticeable, or actually big enough to help.
@@geoken2 You could have a tall in step. I would recommend to try a pair of Skate Old Skools they should open up a bit more compared to an Era for sure.
@@geoken2 definitely different, bought a pair of off white era the other day. The fit is much better in the shoe. I had the same issue with fit before. Only issue I had was with the new shoe was the vinyl heel material. It’s cut my heel on first day.
@@justcheese2426 Yeah I started seeing skateshops get more colors in. Probably gonna wait for them to do more Premium ish ones down the line. The upgrades they did to the shoe are worth buying over the old Pro Skate versions.
I bought a pair of the all black Old Skool Skate Classics a few days ago, so far they're comfy. I wonder if the gloss on the soles is gonna stay on there
you definetly deserve more subs. the review covered everything i wanted to know, i think music and cuts would have made i better tho. liked and subbed! keep going!
Maybe I need to break them in more but my new skate half cabs are sooo much less grippy than the last 2 pair of Rowan pros I had ☹️ they must have changed the sickstick formula or something
Just got them today, and yeah I was little bit confused with this "Skate Old Skool" but now thanks to you I see that it is "rebranding" from Pro to Skate
How do they compare to comfycush? For me comfycush weren't comfy on the toes. The insole was too thick there and my toes had basically no freedom, but otherwise they were more comfortable than regular old skool. However I've changed my old skool insole with a 3rd party one that's thicker on the heel and they became instantly more comfy than comfycush. Now that I need new ones I'm wondering if I should go for skate version or just the the regular and change the insole again.
Is the height change between the insole and upper noticeable? Or is it one of those things were they say they improved it, but it’s so minor that you could never actually tell.
Got blisters on my heals the first day wearing this new design. The old Pro's were a way better fit. Grew up in Anaheim and been wearing vans for 45+ years. After going through 50 or more pairs, bummed to see the change.
I see a lot of people saying this and dont understand, are all of you guys wearing the shoes barefoot or with ankle socks bc how do they give blisters? maybe I havent been wearing mine enough to realize??
I’ve had these for a month already and the red thing that holds the shoe's tongue is making everything it touches the same color as the tongue (part of the insole and the side of the shoe it touches) how do I fix it?
What is the difference between Anaheim Factory Old Skool 36 DX and Skate Old Skool? Which one is better and more comfortable and high quality material?
How true to size were these? I bought some DCs that the 13s fit like an 11 and some Lakai that fit like a 12. Either my foot is npw a 14/15 (all my other shoes and boots are 13) or the plant in china been fucking up
I ordered some pro customs right before they did the rebranding but the i returned them so I could get a different size, but now I can't get the pro model anymore and these are my option and they look weird with the checker tag.
Hello, for people who wear this shoes in the past, I need to know if they are good for daily use,I don't skate😊 I like the Vans design, I have a Vans sk8 Hi,but are not to comfortable,the shape is good for my foot,I heard the comfycush are better for confort,the popcush is similar to comfycush? With OG Vans Sk8 hi I don't have problems with the shape etc,just the insole is a little rigid,for example Jordan 4 is not a good shape for me,I returned them after 30 minutes of test,worst confort and design for a shoes.Please help I want this shoes because are on sales,I buy them at least if they have the same confort as standard Vans Sk8. PS others said you need to "break in" to be more comfortable,I am a little old and I don't have time to"break in".I want confort out of box 😊
i dont like the shiny foxing, i have mid skool anaheim, the sole getting yellowing so easy, and that make the white diffrent with the jazz stripe, make it looks ugly. just my opinion
I’ve always loved buying the regular Old Skool Pros but tbh I hate the look of the checkered flag and the ugly white inside part of the shoe. I would buy them but it’s just weird looking to me now, they should’ve just kept the OG style
This shoe is so comfy bro I bought the white ones there so sick dude feels way better sucks there a lil more but worth the money I just got a couple pairs of old schools for my bday and holiday and I'm great full but there uncomfortable like hella uncomfortable lol but I got these ones and I'm like hell yea Boi there sick
One question, they are uncomfortable in your regular size @Chris Zanetti ? Do you think I should order half a size higher? I wanna buy one with popcush soles but people say half a size higher is better
Lot of blisters in heels..reconstruction the heel or many will be disappointed.. it seems like a soccer shoe ..i mean you wear it only in skating.. then you have to wear an o comfort sleep on to avoid blisters..😢
@@redlion771 the dude reviewing the shoe does not skate obviously. Which I don’t understand why you expected it to be a skate wear test when it’s clearly not.
starts talking about popcush at 8:20

wow this is a whole new level of OS vans, I love the shiny foxing
Not gonna lie, I don't like the checkered flag on the side. I feel it clashes with the shoe. Just my opinion.
me either. the pros were good already. if it aint broke don't fix it
Agree. Should just kept it the same but instead of pro on the backside just have the skateboard logo silhouette
Aye if it feels better you can just cut it off
@@thesharinganknight That's what I do with the new logo and the old one. Take a razor blade or a pair of scissors and cut it off
The flag just represents the skate classics
So you can tell the difference between reg, shoes and skate shoes
The insole is lower with updated contour for better heel fit.
Do you own a pair? This is the thing I was most interested in when I heard about it.

Just ordered a custom black and red of that same shoe. I don't skate anymore, but got them for playing drums.
You forgot to mention the heel stiffner in the sole, its like a flat piece of plastic within the sole to add more hold so it doesn't get too floppy
I know some ppl don't like it but damn vans doing good job i love this new pro skate
I dont skate board but love how comfortable they are.
Wait so is this them rebranding the “Pro Skate” line?
Exactly
yes but only for classics like eras or old skools but not for something like kyle walkers or berles those will be still pro
@@justcheese2426 Yeah I started seeing skateshops get more colors in. Probably gonna wait for them to do more Premium ish ones down the line. The upgrades they did to the shoe are worth buying over the old Pro Skate versions.
@@justcheese2426 but they did it with the half cab
Zxzzzz A Z
i love these shoes, i already got a pair but i got a heel blister breakin em in
I bought a pair of the all black Old Skool Skate Classics a few days ago, so far they're comfy. I wonder if the gloss on the soles is gonna stay on there
My skate old skool black gum soles do not shine
you definetly deserve more subs. the review covered everything i wanted to know, i think music and cuts would have made i better tho. liked and subbed! keep going!
But can they withstand five ollies before a complete hole is worn through the side?
that still remains the same this show could of been all suede before they made that change
For sure
Maybe I need to break them in more but my new skate half cabs are sooo much less grippy than the last 2 pair of Rowan pros I had ☹️ they must have changed the sickstick formula or something
Would you do a new full collection video?
Just got them today, and yeah I was little bit confused with this "Skate Old Skool" but now thanks to you I see that it is "rebranding" from Pro to Skate
Is the gloss still on gum?
@@gavinfoote_Music_Surf Yes
@@milosnickstojanovic why is my size tight af
@@milosnickstojanovic I'm a size 11 I bought a size 11 and they are tight.
so vans "skate" old skool right now in 2023 are just vans pro old skool but just rebrandéd?
Skate = Glossy, Pros = Matte
I REALLY miss the not shiny midsoles. Any way I can remove the shine??
Just continue to wear them..
It should wear off over time.
If you are a stylist and not a skateboarder, you will totally hate the checkered flag on the side because it makes shoe looks cheap. 😟
Im a skateboarder and I hate that stupid checker tag on the side I liked just the vans tag
agree, only reason not getting them the checkered flag is mad tacky
@@codmiester just cut it off
totally agree. it looks so cheap
How do they compare to comfycush? For me comfycush weren't comfy on the toes.

Now that I need new ones I'm wondering if I should go for skate version or just the the regular and change the insole again.
I bought slip ons with the pop sole size 42 eu (my normal size) and got blisters like hell. definitely half size up
Same with the Comfycush
Honestly I liked the red tag with the pro on the other side 🤷🏽♂️
i like the checkered flag and the cool off white colour that they came out with
Thought you'd at least put them on for a review
I try the regular in 9'5 and size fine, the skate version only is available online and i dont know if do a blind buy
Is the height change between the insole and upper noticeable? Or is it one of those things were they say they improved it, but it’s so minor that you could never actually tell.
the heel height was an issue with the authentic pros. they fixed it with the skate classic authentics
It looks like they discontinued the pros for these
@PurgingPengu nah bro I ordered the exact pair not long ago as in like a week ago. I’m in the U.S idk if that matters but still
My Old Skool Pros are worn out so i might buy these...
are true to size ? thanks
Got blisters on my heals the first day wearing this new design. The old Pro's were a way better fit. Grew up in Anaheim and been wearing vans for 45+ years. After going through 50 or more pairs, bummed to see the change.
Mee too
Just bought the same size as normal for pros now my heel slips on the leather heel part. this is going to give blisters for sure
I see a lot of people saying this and dont understand, are all of you guys wearing the shoes barefoot or with ankle socks bc how do they give blisters? maybe I havent been wearing mine enough to realize??
I’ve had these for a month already and the red thing that holds the shoe's tongue is making everything it touches the same color as the tongue (part of the insole and the side of the shoe it touches) how do I fix it?
All i wanna know is do you have to half size up with these like the comfy cush?
which one is better: popcush or ultracush? for daily use, i don't mean to skateboard with them
I have ultracush. I regularly walk around 8hrs a day, and they’re super comfy.
They the same
currently skating the pro's still love them but sacred too make that change don't know if it's worth it
I don't have shiny soles in black gum coloring
What is the difference between Anaheim Factory Old Skool 36 DX and Skate Old Skool? Which one is better and more comfortable and high quality material?
I like the new checkered tag, I prefer it over the red Vans tag
I'm gonna try and scoop some of the off white ones
Was looking for a video showing the box lmao
New skate Shoes break in sooooo good.
How true to size were these? I bought some DCs that the 13s fit like an 11 and some Lakai that fit like a 12. Either my foot is npw a 14/15 (all my other shoes and boots are 13) or the plant in china been fucking up
❤️ Vans. My favourites are The Half Cabs. Watching from London UK 🇬🇧
My authentics just arrived and I realized there was no sticker with them, did yours include the sticker or have they stopped including them?
Lets take bets on how long until they drop checkered tag
Haha, yeah it’s pretty wack. Just keep the fuckin classic red tag 🤦🏻♂️
Can you use them normally like not for skating???
People that don’t skate definitely buy these for the added support and comfort
@@LBIFBACK I don't have shiny soles in black gum coloring
please review vans bmx shoes
are these better or worse than the comfycush
They are made to fit more like the classics
They definitely downgraded from the pros. Skated nothing but pros for years till they changed. Now I skate Nike sbs
so they are the same thing as pros basically??
I ordered some pro customs right before they did the rebranding but the i returned them so I could get a different size, but now I can't get the pro model anymore and these are my option and they look weird with the checker tag.
Just cut off the flag🤦♂️
Why no skateboarding on em dough?

Of course. I do.

Can you send to indonesia ?
My skate old skool black gum soles do not shine.
This is nice comparison, thank you
Do the Vans Skateboarding shoes weigh more than the Vans Pros?
Yes they do
does they sell it on asia's too or just US?
Couldn’t tell you for sure
they sell it on vans singapore already and lots of the models are sold out. 109 SGD for OS skate classic.
yes im from hong kong and i just bought a pair yesterday
Those new pop cush soles are terrible. The heel is too high so I took it off from my new shoes and replaced to something else.
I bought this! 🏁
This shoe is so comfy bro I bought the white ones there so sick dude feels way better sucks there a lil more but worth the money I just got a couple pairs of old schools for my bday and holiday and I'm great full but there uncomfortable like hella uncomfortable lol but I got these ones and I'm like hell yea Boi there sick
One question, they are uncomfortable in your regular size @Chris Zanetti ? Do you think I should order half a size higher?
I wanna buy one with popcush soles but people say half a size higher is better
squat shoes lol its an all round shoe
The new sole is awful, I have worn checkered vans for 12 years. The shape of the cut bad!
Lot of blisters in heels..reconstruction the heel or many will be disappointed.. it seems like a soccer shoe ..i mean you wear it only in skating.. then you have to wear an o comfort sleep on to avoid blisters..😢
I see a lot of people saying this and dont understand, are all of you guys wearing the shoes barefoot or with ankle socks bc how do they give blisters
these are sick
Im not digin the checkboard flag...
Hi
They destroyed the back part of my feet. I hate them right now
Esse tenis ficou ainda melhor que os antigos pro.
Dude come on they skate shoes woulda preferred an actual skate review
The rebranded vans just came out dude
The dude is just reviewing them for the specs. No need to gatekeep man.
@@carlyle6071 its not gatekeeping if you buy a SKATEBOARDING shoe us skaters expect a skate review not a "spec" review
@@redlion771 the dude reviewing the shoe does not skate obviously. Which I don’t understand why you expected it to be a skate wear test when it’s clearly not.
If you wanna know how well they hold up, they're decent enough. Mine last 2 months and a half and I skate daily. Mostly basic tricks and gaps.
Sadly in my country they only realised a very ugly color T^T
Damn, the new outline colour really looks like shit 😓😓
