Vans AVE Pro Skate Shoes Wear Test Review | Tactics

With Anthony Van Engelen's unrelenting power and style, he wouldn't put his name on a shoe unless it was the best damn shoe he's ever put his foot into. Designed with Vans' Ultimate Waffle construction and a combination of Duracap and RapidWeld technology, this shoe provides uncompromising support and durability. With a LuxLiner bootie construction, the shoe fits snug and secure, while lightweight mesh on the tongue and inner panels let your feet breathe. Building his legacy of innovation, AVE has designed the most technically advanced Vans shoe to date. To test these out, we had warehouse hustler Josue Medina skate them and tell us what he thought.

[@Dazrex05]

Been waiting on this review! Thx tactics.

[@ksksje9742]

I just got them and they feel so comfortable when skating

[@Stix77]

Comfy shoes. Love the fit and feel.

[@neekbot]

I have em but they are too clean to skate😭

[@kolsenk]

neekbot agreed i have a pair but im scared to mess them up

[@CarlosALeon-ei8yh]

neekbot you can buy another pair and you just skate one pair

[@ethankr8730]

I had to buy two lol. I got one pair and they are practically black now so I got another to just wear around

[@oolrak]

same dude

[@RoyalLobotomy]

I bought the white and powdered pink 😂 I skate the white ones and baby the powdered pink ones cause they are way too nice 😂

[@LuisCruz-sp9wp]

i got them in black. honestly love them.

[@therestingmitchface6241]

LOVE the Naruto shirt

[@alpineflauge909]

thanks

[@P-Atonement]

The Vans x Fu’king Awesome black / reflective AVE held up very nicely, were comfy and easy to keep looking fresh for over 2 years . Now I didn’t skate in these but have in other AVE Pro and in my opinion they are not built for daily skating at any level.
I wish I could find another pair of the F’cking Awesome black / reflective in a 11.5 or even 11. I love those shoes.

[@drewrybillman1228]

i had an immediate problem with the inside part of the shoe just busting open through regular wear and running while trying to break them in, never even got to skate.

[@user-os9jh3um2j]

why dis man got a chair in the middle of nowhere lmao

[@ranelmarinduque794]

Am I the only one who find their videos satisfying? I mean seeing shoes worn out

[@wyattsskatetricks8203]

I ordered them and I can’t wait to get them
Edit I got em and they are so good

[@gusrosevear5974]

Still holding up?

[@BroadcastsFromPoorFarm]

@@gusrosevear5974 they just restocked some new colorways, I missed out on them last year. Thinking about it again now.

[@ryedog]

@@BroadcastsFromPoorFarm Reconsider, I have these exact shoes and they aren't bad but there's definitely better shoes for cheaper. The stuff he said about not ripping shoe laces hasn't happened for me, I've went through 2 pairs of shoelaces already. Overall, if you go to an outlets and can get them for $70 or under you should, but 100 is a bit much.

[@bp4861]

Were they true to size

[@dylanbeamer_9220]

the best shoes

[@pronite1083]

Yo I need these

[@ethanclayton928]

Nike Blazers for life.

[@kevinchan4951]

Already sold out in this colorway.

What’s that instrumental in the background

[@marshalljohn1175]

This upload was the dopeness. Any chance that Tactics could do a wear test on the adidas Liberty Cup? Anyway, keep up the great content! 👌🛹🔨

[@Zeal808]

Saline Balls solid shoe. Insole is gold

[@isiahhauk5734]

Naruto shirt is dope

[@tjpreston3348]

Are they like gel kinda feeling and are they grippy inside skatepark wood I can’t find a shoe that doesn’t slip about

[@tacticsboardshop]

Nah, they aren't gel-like, they grip pretty much like regular Vans Waffle grip. I feel ya on the slippery wood ramps, they're so SLICK! - Tim

[@tjpreston3348]

@@tacticsboardshop slick as in gripping or slick like slidy 😂

[@tacticsboardshop]

@@tjpreston3348 I just mean indoor wood ramps are just slippery in general! I don't think there's a skate shoe out there that won't still be slippery on those wood ramps lol. 😆🛹🙏 - Tim

these or rowan pro for durability?

[@gbrl2k]

rowan way more durable

[@Domtz17]

Mine is black idk what colors

[@carterstafford1446]

Fuck yeah

[@domc6541]

Is the durability worth 100 dollars?

[@just1goon561]

Dom C absolutely not! got a whole in the heelfliparea and in my sock after the first sesh..

[@sungwoothao1242]

depends how you skate dude

[@sethmilty]

I wish they would replace the mesh in that one spot with a canvas pad because this is my favorite shoe . It would AT LEAST DOUBLE the life of these shoes and the pinky toe on all my socks . That hole appears so fast, like 50 kick flips . I sew the mesh back together and shoe goo over that spot after it happens . Vans gave me a refund on my first pair because the mesh wore day one . I thought they were defective . It's every pair ,but I like them so much I keep buying . This shoe will make you poor .

[@rijul5952]

One thing is, for me these aren't true to size. I'm a 7, but I had to get a 8.

[@bonnistonecircle2263]

Dude look at the camera more often 👌🏾

[@Yvng6vng]

Heelflips

[@Kid2loW]

Did a varial and put a hole in it not very durable I rather skate ice cubes

[@prevailwithme]

That happened to me too! Fucking shitty shoes.

[@emid5493]

Lmao I got these at Ross for 30 bucks and they go for 200 😆

[@user-os9jh3um2j]

they're probably fake my man, ross is known for selling counterfeits

[@bp4861]

Bro hahahahahaja Ross sells fake shit thats the whole store

[@gunpla_sk8]

I seriously can't stand the clear soles wtf is this trend after a few days of wear you get permanent grimey look but other then that shoe looks good

[@sungwoothao1242]

nope its just the way how they built it, its not like the normal vans where its like the gum, its diffrent and you would need to see it irl to get at what im talking about

[@ianturnbow7011]

If I buy 10 pairs, will I be able to reach SOTY in 40 years? No, never.

[@aaronleghissa]

theres a rip in it

[@aaronleghissa]

how long till that material ripped?

[@tacticsboardshop]

The mesh on top ripped after about week 3, but Josue said that the board never scraped the top of his foot even though the fabric had torn.

[@YourAverageExJunkie]

total cap, vans are super clean but EVERY option rips in 2 seshes max

[@VergeFNBR]

Sneakerheads like me are cringing at how DESTROYED these shoes are already lol

[@internet_internet]

Shoes are meant for wearing, my guy.
What good is a shoe that you can’t use however you need to?
