[D.Josey]

Vans are dope BUT Nike and Adidas are on a whole nother level. You never hear a sneaker head say they "I have always dreamed of making a sneaker with Vans."

some athletes (mainly skateboarders) might aspire to that

 

[phamo]

Alex Olson left Vans to go to Nike

I'd say it's to be rebellious in a way, but if they ever get a chance to see a check compared to any other shoe co. they'd choose wisely.

I was always Nike > Vans, so I have this preconceived notion that every skater low key feels the same.

I don't think JL will get a Nike collab anytime soon, just going by Ronnie Fieg. I think Nike worked with Virgil out of spite for Kanye lol

You must be new, Vans were all the rage before Kanye went to adidas, hell, even before he went to Nike when he still dressed like crap. You come off like another new wave "sneakerhead" who praises adidas only because of Kanye. If you were around 10-15 years ago you would know that all the hype was around Nike and Vans, specifically Syndicate and Vault.

But answer this question tho.....does Vans have BOOST THO!??????

 

[UnicornHunter]

My white trainers came in and smh at the people saying "size up" these run a half size bigger than racers and now I have a large pair

I'm surprised nike still can't find a competition to something similar of comfort with "Boost" because if they think the air zoom is equal then they need to hire a new team

dat waffle life

 

[phamo]

Vaults meh, Syndicates were cool, but a pain to get with the limited BS. Supreme collabs used to sit. You don't see that with Nike or Adidas collabs so +1 to the new wave

There were pages of people saying to get the same size as your racer though.

 

[flyknitjb]

he's doing his own sneakers and vans, no need for nike or adidas collabs

Doesn’t mean he can’t collaborate with Nike. He’s not signed to vans. John Elliott makes his own shoes too and he collaborated with Nike too.

Those are absolutely the greys. RIP to yall who haven't copped yet lmao. Hypebeasts ready to come out the woodworks.

My 2012 trainers fit just like the new release. I said this awhile ago in this thread.

I am an 11 in racers. I have a 10.5 and and 11 in unpadded trainers. The 10.5 is a bit too snug for me unless i go sockless. The 11 is the better fit for me. But an 11 in racers is pretty perfect.

Maybe you're just wearing the wrong size racers LOL

They have a white sole though, which the greys don't have.

 

[UnicornHunter]

I like my shoes snug with barely any room (sock like) I got used to it from wearing dress shoes M-F so maybe you could be right haha

Supposedly zoomX in the vaporflys are really comfy. Can't really tell tho because the shank plate is in the way of really feeling the cushion. They should start rolling zoomX midsoles in other shoes.

hes busting balls

 

[turbo95eg6]

Y'all crack me up, they almost look the exact same lol...

On a side note, only one day left

And only a matter of time until Boost technology is outdated, I say give it about 2-3 more years.

 

[bigevan23]

Nice shots dude. Would my best bet to get a pair now ebay/goat/stockx or are there random sites or store that still have them?

What size are you.

Yeah thank you for getting that lmao. Forgot sarcasm is hard to notice if you don't put "lol jk" at the end.

It might be too squishy and unstable without the plate.

 

[jayocampo]

I thought the plate was for energy return so that it will spring you forward when running and the instability was due to the heel shape but that kinda makes sense then.
