a good pair of shoes, so what if soo many people wear them, you shouldn't worry about what other people wear, most new vans coming out today have snazzy designs that fit almost anybodys personality, ALSO you don't have to be some different label to buy them, you just have to be a person looking for a good deal on a pair of shoes that will last you a while.
person #1:"damn....I need some shoes, but I want some colored wacky ones.."

kid with vans:"you should buy some vans bro, I'll bet you'll find some for you!"

person #1:"I don't have much money, I don't know, them Jordans be running expensive.."

A good, quality skate shoe company that classifies their products into "new school" (for those who actually intend to skate in them) "old school" (which are worn usually to make a statement, most popular are slip-ons) and most recently, "no school". Vans also makes a couple of lines that are worn by abnoxious, (I'd hate to say it, but...) posers. Most people that tend to diss Vans are really just dissing these lines, and rethink their critical views when they realize that Vans sponsors really worthy events, like the Vans Warped Tour.
Person 1: Cool shoes, those Vans?
Person 2: Yeah, they're my only pair
Person 1: Yeah, I don't tend to wear the old schools because I can't skate in them and they wear out easily
Person 2: I know, I like them worn though
