Trying out Vans MOST EXPENSIVE SKATE SHOES, the Vans Ave Pro, which retail for $100-110. I skate at Tribeca Skatepark and talk about if I think the shoes are worth the price.

Where do you buy China pro twos I can’t find them anywhere. But good video man.
been skating these for a couple weeks now and i love them!
Woah dude! Thats rad, I assume they're worth the investment if you're saying that. I just got a pair of osiris clones with the huit art and that were only walked in, gonna see how long it takes to wear these out.
Please post
I disagree, I got them on discount and they're so uncomfortable. Whenever I took even the smallest bit of impact I would get extreme foot cramps. It would also really hurt while I was kickflipping and it made it so much harder to flick and land. I don't recommend these even at a discounted price
Make a review
VLSkate?! What are you doing here?
They're called AVE because they're the Anthony Van Engelen pro model.
George: "Vans Ave Pro"
Me: Oh no.
Those insoles are intentionally sticky, it’s a thing that they put on the AVE and a couple other skate builds. We don’t sell a ton of them in the store I work in, both there are definitely die hard fans of them.
Was just about to buy these and ended up getting some Chima Pros instead. Happy to see someone reviewing them!
Chima pro 2 are better than these IMO
Chima pros are so freaking good
@@imusic1006 appreciate the fact you stated in your opinion. Mfs be acting like there opinion is a fact😂
Those shoes are legit amazing!! Got em this summer, they lasted soo long and felt amazing all along!! Loved the vid man!
I personally love these types of videos, keep up the great work george!
George’s content has given me so much confidence in the world thanks you!!!!
It's strange seeing Egon talk about skate shoes. Can you do a review on how well Vans work while ghostbusting? Thanks.
I don't think George knows how much his uploads make are days much love George❤️
Such a solid vid George!!
Great video. I got a pair from a outlet so I got them for really cheap! I have loved them so far
Thanks for doing the review, I’ve been wondering about these. I like the Chima Pro 2s also, but I can’t find them in all black in my size anywhere. Maybe I’ll try these next.
Never disappoints when he uploads
i love thhis shoe review type of video
Nice review George!, Try the wayvee next!
Love your content! I’m surprised you didn’t get the Beatrice Domond model
They look good, I’ve seen them but I also bought the nyjah 2 Nikes. Would love to see you try them. As always love watching your videos
Love ur vids
Nice videos my g!!
Loved this video! Would be tight to see you try some Blazer mids!
Blazer mid Gang
I went to this skatepark just the other day as my first time in NYC. Such a beautiful area
Hey George!
Been a while, haha, but great video as usual. Yeah, I pretty much agree with your take on them, when they first came out (Back when I was working at Vans) I thought it was a little iffy and to cringe (the white colorway with the opaque blue). But once they came out with the black I was slightly swaying to it. I heard from a few people they last a little longer than the regular shoes but y'know, in the end, it's prolly cheaper to stick with the slightly better-priced shoes you know you like. But id be interested to see if you keep up wearing them and update how they're holding up.
Cheers and hope you're doing well man!
Otis
The aves are probably my go to just because of the durability. Both pairs I’ve had lasted me more than 2-3 months which is great for me, I think it may have something to do with the fact that the stitching isn’t exposed
Still a fan of John Hill, but after he moved to Texas, the vibes of his videos haven't been the same. Something about the NYC backdrop just makes these videos more enjoyable, so I'm glad I still have a channel to watch some relaxing skate content.
george with those clean tricks on the bank damn
Hyped to see Jager back on the channel!
I love Rowan's and Half Cabs the best for my preference for Vans
This guy gets it
Dude Mikey Taylor was talking about you on his nine club episode it was so cool!!
nice for casual & bike shoes too
I recently sprained my ankle and watching this makes me wanna get up and go skate
I have those and the white and I love them
Not sure how, but I was lucky enough to find a pair of Beatrice Domond AVE Pros at Ross for $40, in my size. Love em, and it was the one colorway I was really interested in
Lover your content
Have three pairs of these and these are the best most comfortable vans I’ve ever had!
hey been skating for 4 months now and i can nearly kickflip any tips on how to kickflip. oh btw way u inspired me to start skating and you had a big impact on my style
I skated these and I had the same issue with the mesh where it ripped super fast but other than that they were some of my favorite shoes I’ve ever skated
i think that the last blazers low are the best, they will look cool on u tho
Try the Nike SB Shane 😉 I like them, snug, good board feel, good heel dampening with some air cushioning, toe dampening good/ok.
They seem to be better then the SB Janoski (what I heard from other skaters), but I like the look of the Janoski a bit better…
I noticed you were implementing what you were saying into your last video with your skating in that session. My range for buying skate shoes is 65-75 bucks. I personally beleive why pay 30 or 40 bucks more for skate shoes when I I can pay 30 or 40 bucks less for it to pursue the same purpose.
Yes I have them and there 🔥
2:52 the insoles are the foam insert in the shoe. The bottom of the shoe is just the "sole." Thanks for reviewing these.
Good to know
I'm pretty sure he knows that. and bottom is usually referred to as outsole
I have mixed feelings on the Vans Anthony Van England (AVE)pro. I’ve had 3 pairs, one Red and two Black with White strips. The Black and White didn’t last a week until the rapid weld came off both shoes, so the toe cap was loose and crappy looking. Now my Red ones were amazing I still skate those and trashed the black and whites.
That New Profile Picture is Perfect 🤩
I skated with the white versions of these shoes (got em on sale, luckily) but I found that they’re fine for flat ground, after you break em in a little bit, they’re great for vert, and the top of the toes ripped so quickly, from a day of practicing Casper stalls 🤔? I’d see spending that much if I did more vert skating, but normally that’s still pretty pricey for how I skate 🤔?
But that’s just my thoughts, from how I skate🙃? Soup’r comfy, though 😌! So I guess it’s up to you to give em a test, too (if you also luck into a pair being on sale or do a good bit of vert skating😅)?
i skated there for about 4 months and thats a lot for me i skate every day and there held up really really good and the bottom is the best bottom that vans have for sure suggest them
You should review the Nike blazer lows
Can you make a full review when your done skating them?
Not AV it’s Ave as in Anthony Van Engelen.
u should try the wayvee shoe it’s like the aves but remastered and buffed up alot better all around
DUDE, HE'S WEARING MERCH FROM MY FAVORITE SKATE SHOP IN TACOMA! thats so crazy to me, i'm there all the time
I think the price point is that high because of the mesh and the insole as well as it being a pro model shoe. Anthony Van England has been a skater with Vans for a while and this is his pro model. These are always in my car if I’m try to break new shoes because they’re so comfy and a relief after a while.
I went through, NB, cons, airwalk, then Vans A.V.E. pros. I look for sales, use trick tape, stick and flick, and gorilla glue to extend the life really well. A.V.E. is all I will skate.
U should test the nike sb ishod wairs
Idk man I would have tested the wavvy at this point if we’re discussing expensive vans skate shoes these days, but I still
Enjoyed the content as always ❤️
Most expensive Shate Shoes
Nike Dunk sb: hold my beer
they're 100 dollars as well
@@3jsu5 if you get them retail...
I have a pair of these that have lasted 2 years and still haven't fully penetrated. I will probably buy another pair in the future.
tbh i owned both the chima pro and the ave pro and i kind of prefer the ave pro. Btw i got the ave pro for 50bucks with a discount and i'm really happy with how they feel. I really like the sole its so comfortable and they last rlly long and i recommend those. However, i don't know if i would have bought them for 100. So if you find them with a discount, i defenitely recommend you buying them.
PS: it's my personnal point of view
Hello George what should I do if I can’t afford skate wheels and a new deck as mine is braking I found some sheep stuff but there from u.s shops and the shipping to the uk is like £20
Got these reduced for 40 pounds, best skate shoes I’ve had
Love these shoes. Lasted me a long time but they are a bit steep
I'd actually like to see you try a pair of nike, keep up the great content!
The world would be better if all us UA-camrs could collab
You should try skating blazers
I think you’d like some low top sb blazers
your videos make finding motivation to go out skating a hell of a lot easier. keep it up bro!
That’s are great shoes I have some and they are the best
Just finished destroying my 2nd pair of the Chima 2s maybe gonna get some Cariumas next
🔥🔥🔥💯
George your the guy
I love these shoes
Bought them than 3 weeks later I left them outside to dry overnight bc my feet get sweaty and they got stolen lol
These for me best skate shoes ever had
Only $80 at my store and they currently have buy one get one half off. Buying 2 pairs averaged out to $60 each (80+40)
surprised these didnt have better impact protection considering they are cup sole vs vulc like the chima's
Well cupsole is the construction, then you need to factor the material which is used and the thickness of the sole. Some cupsoles are really not designed for support but for boardfeel like Adidas Puig or most Lakai cupsole. Usually I buy cupsole shoes and put my insole in it to add some cushion.
My nyjahs mesh blew out on the side i didnt flick on too kinda odd
Your longer hair is cool
I got 'em for half the price (55€ in Germany) and I freakin' love them. Best shoeß i've skatet beside the nike sb alleyoop
hey George just a small suggestion watch the audio levels cuz i could barely hear what you were saying at some points
Ya I miss the days when I could get two pairs for $50 at my local shop but this was like 2005
The vans Ave pros look awesome but mine literally broke in 1 day.
Try the Nyjah 2s
It’s AVE as in Anthony van englen not av
Review some sb dunks
George over here looking like a stepdad
Try the Nyjah II or Shane's ones?
its "aye-ve"
I thought it meant Anthony Van England. Ave for short. I could be Rong though.
might as well get 2 pairs of the Atwoods for $45/$50 range.
I had these and they ripped pretty fast.
chima pro 2 is thee shoe i've bean skating for 1 1/2 ish years
there not so exspensive in my local skate shop they will cost 200 dollers. but anyway love your vids
Yo what jeans are those?
Personally I use Nike sb and they’re great
nike sb bruin react are good
Why does he say „AVE“ like that, it’s Anthony Van England!
All the videos you take in the early morning and late afternoon make the videos feel like autumn. All the takes in the blazing afternoon feel like summer.
I like slip on shoes for skating
kyle pros 2 are by far the best shoes, give them a try if u haven't already
Ugliest shoe by far
@@lukemate2783 how is it ugly lol, at least they last long and arent very expensive, I cant skate shoes with laces cause they just break too fast, and slip ons isnt an option neither, they feel too loose, John Hill skates them and I dont feel like they're ugly
@@airux_co ugliest shoe by far
