13178625, when did the hood start wearing Vans?
Posted by seasoned vet, Fri Jul-28-17 12:29 PM
i know Vans have been around what seems like forever. West coast cats and skaters always rocked them. Wayne rocked them heavily when he got into skating.
but recently ive noticed whole families from the babies to the parents all with matching pairs on. when did this start?
it is interesting to see Nike kinda fall out of that top spot after all these years

13178628, Around the time Wayne started wearing them

if I quote the stats/research the torches and pitchforks will come out but Dr. Boyce Watkins has spoke on the marketing appeal/approach somewhere on the web

13178638, I'd say Kanye has more to do with their current trendiness.

You mean 2006.... thats when the song and video actually dropped..
Id say vans slowly hit the hood as skating hit the hood (again) 2007 or so... wayne, currensy, lupe, pharrell and them party like a rockstar kids helped usher em in..
But imo the post streetwear atheleisure era is when they kicked in the door all the way... if you arent in trainers (boosts, nmds, roshes) then you are in a jordan or a vulcanized sole shoe

13178794, Damn... that shit still goes.

13178642, Nike fell out of the top? I barely see vans in the hood

13178647, when i started seeing Vans in the hood-hood down south?
Posted by seasoned vet, Fri Jul-28-17 01:12 PM
i knew something was different.
id always seen pockets here and there but never whole families with Vans on to match their outfits.
was just in a class with a bunch of 20 years olds, they couldnt care less about Nike or Jordans, its all about Adidas and Under Armor
like, they dabble in Nike, but its not the standard to them it was to us
like i said just interesting
|
13178659, ok. didn't know it was this popular. I thought UA's took a hit

13178656, it's nice to stay fresh for $45. Nike and Adidas getting pricey

13178665, ^ ^ ^ even less if there's an outlet nearby
Posted by ABC_Style, Fri Jul-28-17 01:43 PM
Cop shoes for as low as $15-$30, sometimes even less if it's a weird size or color.
