There's just one Vans shoe I could save from the 90's. The Knu Skool. My all time favorite. Long live to "the brand with the waffle sole" Just like Jeff Grosso said: "What are you doing watching this? Go skate!"
Yo I've watched so many of your vids tonight my eyes are buggin out. Always enjoy them, love the humour, gotta stop now . first pair of Vans were high top checked with Van Doren logo on the side! Size 8 in 1988. Still must have 50 dead paires in boxes Where are you shredz shop? Gotta visit next time in Canada. Thank you Shredz!
I loved this! Perhaps in the future y'all could do a video on skateboard brands that used to be awesome I'm the 80s and 90s but are now found at Walmart; like Kryptonics and Vision Street Wear
I had LOTS of vans over the years. But my favorite shoe to skate in were the Rowley Shams. I got them on sale but they were the best shoe. Rowley posted them on his insta back in July. I would love to skate them today.
@@ShredzShop ok, I'm gonna be honest. But I ordered their running shoe the Ultrarange (green/orange) but, I only ordered them because I've been walking to work for exercise. It's 6 miles. (I'm 45) Lol But, the last sk8 shoe was the Elijah Bearle...
Great video I'm in my 50s skateboarder when I was younger still have vans today don't wear them all the time but I do bust them out from time to time Iron Maiden vans still looking for me some Slayer vans thanks again
Super first shoe was in 1996, that was the same on éS, etnies and Emerica. It was a beige loaf. XD My favorite Vans show is the 2000 Rowley and he is the best rider ever. XD Super show and i hope Levi doesnt hurt too many PPL with cutting. XD
Vans is my first skate shoes I could list when I was 90’s teenager. I bought my first pair of fake shoes from Xiu Shui Street in Beijing in 1996. My first real vans shoes I bought is old school from local vans booth in shopping mall.
First skate shoes i had were the airwalk bucky lasek, then vans old skool tony alva, after that maybe i had hawk shoes and adios, i cant remember very well the time but i had 2 pairs of those rowley XLT, they were the perfect shoe and probably one of my favorites of all time. After around 2005, i stick to vans and pretty much is the only thing i wear now. Some people ask why, i love the sk8 hi and all, but when i was 17, vans started sponsoring events here in mexico and they took me to mexico city and another state for a contest, i was not in the team but we all were together at the time and they treated us very well, they didnt stop at the skate contest, they rented a baseball stadium and did a free concert with 2 legendary bands. After that, they started to put money in, made a mexico team, sponsoring skateparks, painting them, i dont think skateboarding would be were it is now without vans, at least here in mexico. In my state we went from having 2 skate parks, to having 20, and at this point almost every state has multiple skateparks, many of them full concrete. Yeah, i dont care if VF owns them now, because they are still investing in skateboarding, they just opened the house of vans in mexico city and they also sponsor skate lessons for kids. Where is nike and adidas? What are they doing for skateboarding? Vans forever my bros.
Hyped to see all the Rowley XLT love in the comments! Also hyped to hear Vans is supporting skating in Mexico City!!! They definitely support us well here in Canada as well!
ay bro vans is one of the og skate brands imma go to the vans store at my local mall (cant go to skate shop as it is kinda far) tomorrow to get some skate old skools. edit: I got vans old skool and slip on skate editions and they skate like butter. may help me with my ollies too
I barely remember Vans in the mid to late 90s. Their shoes were too hard to break in, they hurt your feet, and there was no padding in the sole. You’d have blisters from the poor fit itself. Ones I remember having were obviously the HalfCabs, the first Agah’s, I had every pair of Carroll’s!, those are my favorites. I had a few types of Rowley’s. I had the Old Skools low. And a few others. Actually my buddy in the later 90s managed a Van’s outlet so I got a lot of the Van’s pouffier/fatter 90’s shoes for free. I grew up skating the Santa Rosa skatepark with TNT and saw he went on to get his own shoe which was cool to see. Actually I’m kinda pissed at Vans, fucking scumbags don’t ship to Hawaii and they charge you shipping on each item if you try to order more than one thing online. They cancelled my order last month when I tried to order two sale shoes because I emailed them saying wtf is with charging me for shipping twice?! No explanation, just canceled my order. They’re fucking cheap skates and their customer service is fucking garbage for the billions they make. Plus I hate how they pander now to the woke bullshit. That was never skating, sorry. And all the dudes that made bank skating can try to pretend they’re rainbow woke after the fact, but I grew up in the thick of it and around the top guys, they were far from woke.
Vans is really big here in Mexico. Almost every skater has a pair. Also vans seems like the only one actually investing here too. You can find vans easily specially newer models which is a pain in the a.. with other brands.
Well akshually, 12:25 Jeff Grosso couldn’t have just been added to the team since he died over two and a half years ago. Hell, the first Love Letters To Skateboarding was 11 years ago… Also, Cab wasn’t in the first THPS so he couldn’t have been in every game. It’s a shame since that was the one game in the series giving the showcased skateboarders six figure checks, and Koston screwed that up by saying “pls include me in the second game, I’ll do it for cheap!” That’s when Activision realized they could cut everyone else’s check too, a la Lance’s suggestion to Cab about his pro shoes.
I told my wife that I am looking for Van's clown shoes I used to be a birthday clown and I have been collecting clown merchandise more so than I can skateboard I feel like Steve O from Jackass would probably have a pair or a couple of them
Vans should definitely start selling single shoes again. It’d be great for the differently abled and those with prosthetic or missing limbs. Come on Vans, it’s 2022!
I don’t wear it, cause I feel like it’s mostly hypebeast nerds. But I am impressed that a little skateboard shop from NYC has turned into what Supreme has.
I disagree. They're obviously bigger than just skateboarding nowadays, but they still are super rooted in skateboarding. They help us out paying for our insurance on local skate programs, buy us pizzas on Go Skate Day, Give shoes to kids where we do skate programming on an aboriginal reserve near us, are the head sponsor on our big annual contest, and lots more. 🏆
@@ShredzShop I meant to say not "just" for skaters anymore. Tons and tons of people wear them. Children to soccer moms to the elderly. I dont mind as long as they keep making them. Ive never really worn anything else.
Wearing my pro half cabs right now!!! One of two pair. The other are like a full multi color.... Also, my homies @humiditynola skateshop just dropped a special half cab collab that's the first ever rebuild of the half cab. Goretex boot. The gulley!!!! Even if it's already sold out, still given em congrats and check it out.
What is your favorite Vans shoe of all time? And who is your favorite Vans team rider of all time?!
Steve Caballero or Christian Hosoi, kinda normy answers I know
I liked the old super-puffy Willy Santos shoes, from the 2000s. 😎
"LiL'JpD."
shoe: walker pro,
rider: Grampa Cab
@@joedent3323 haha I actually always liked the look of the Santos shoes too.
@@Crimzen2000 Both certified legends tho 🙌
Man as an old dude with lots of nostalgia for skating, this is probably my favorite channel on youtube right now
Damn! Thanks for the kind words! Stoked you enjoy our vids!
Bro y’all making me a nerd when it comes to skateboarding soon ima be saying “ well actually 🤓”
😆 😆 😆
…it’s interesting to note
🤣
Well akshually 🤓
Big love for Vans 🙌
💝💝💝
Half cabs are my favourite shoe to skate in
There's just one Vans shoe I could save from the 90's.
The Knu Skool. My all time favorite.
Long live to "the brand with the waffle sole"
Just like Jeff Grosso said: "What are you doing watching this? Go skate!"
Keep up the skate history vids us skate nerds love this!
Glad you enjoy em!! 🙏🙌
Just go to the Slap forums instead, you can learn skate history while being called names by middle aged men who haven’t skated since Mosaic came out…
Yo I've watched so many of your vids tonight my eyes are buggin out. Always enjoy them, love the humour, gotta stop now . first pair of Vans were high top checked with Van Doren logo on the side! Size 8 in 1988. Still must have 50 dead paires in boxes Where are you shredz shop? Gotta visit next time in Canada. Thank you Shredz!
Glad you enjoy the vids!! We’re just outside of Calgary towards Banff, small town called Cochrane!
Sweet vid G . . . no crocs in sight KEEP IT THAT WAY !!!
Lets all smile and pretend he's wearing half cabs...
Way back in 2003 to 2006 I got Rowley XLT 2 and 3, Rowley Classics and my favorites one's Jim Greco 2.
Great vid as always! Thanks
Thanks Joey! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏
Awesomes! I forgot about the “go-bots” of vans. I love these videos
always love new video from you guys.
🙌🙏🙌
Yo u guys be making the best skate videos and u are the best skater out of all of the shred dudes😎
We do make the best videos. But there are many people on the team better than me! Caleb, Wes, Steve, Derek, Trystan, Mack, Spate, Austin etc
@@leviswitzer your a don, we love ya broski 🔥
I loved this!
Perhaps in the future y'all could do a video on skateboard brands that used to be awesome I'm the 80s and 90s but are now found at Walmart; like Kryptonics and Vision Street Wear

Maybe they’re cooking up a re-issue?! (I haven’t seen anything other than a Rowley Classics reissue coming in 2023).
It was the rowley squares for me!
really cool video!!!
Thanks @c4rnas4 ! Glad enjoyed!
Just ordered a new pair of Vans today. This worked out nicely.
Awesome! which ones did you order?
@@ShredzShop ok, I'm gonna be honest. But I ordered their running shoe the Ultrarange (green/orange) but, I only ordered them because I've been walking to work for exercise. It's 6 miles. (I'm 45) Lol
But, the last sk8 shoe was the Elijah Bearle...
My first Vans shoe was the Shams, also a Rowley pro model. The influence of the half cab was also visible.
Half cab is still my favorite shoe to skate
I'd say the most iconic skate shoe of all time...
@@ShredzShop I’m in some sb force 58 right now, I like them, their just not the same
Great Video!
Thanks Kevin! Glad you enjoyed!! 🙏 🙌
thank you
Hope you enjoyed!!
slip ons and sk8 hi's will always be my favorite shoes.
Couple-a-classics 🥇💖
10:45 I heard you quote Johnny Rotten from the Sorry vid 😄
Glad people caught it haha
lets go this looks sick
Hope you enjoy!! 🔥
Great video I'm in my 50s skateboarder when I was younger still have vans today don't wear them all the time but I do bust them out from time to time Iron Maiden vans still looking for me some Slayer vans thanks again
Glad you enjoyed!! 🙌🙏 Those Maiden Vans are probably worth some serious cash these days! 💸
Definitely had some Half Cabs back in the day
Legendary shoes 🏆
Super first shoe was in 1996, that was the same on éS, etnies and Emerica. It was a beige loaf. XD My favorite Vans show is the 2000 Rowley and he is the best rider ever. XD Super show and i hope Levi doesnt hurt too many PPL with cutting. XD
🔥🏆🔥 he’s a good barber, no one was injured in the haircuts he’s done in the last 10 years! 🙏👍
Great video. Love all your content. I just wish I could be half as cool as Levi...... maybe one day........ but probably not lol
Quit pumping his ego 😂😭 that’s the last thing he needs…
Dang. I need the hype. Shredz is wrong.
@@leviswitzer agreed lolol. I seen you hit a super smooth blunt slide too and I was like ooooo daaaaaannnnngggg (exact reaction)
This vid makes me proud to be working there for 3+ years now🙏
oh man, the shambles. i had a pair.
Great shoes
Mr Switzer! the coolest vans is the Sk8 Hi, indeed, stay cool.
Can’t go wrong with some sk8 HI’s 🏆 🙌🙏
I'm a Globe Fusion shoe guy myself. I still love em' chunky!!!!!
That classic chunky skate shoe 👊
I wish they’d bring back the XLT’s!!
Me too 😩
I had a pair of vans in the late 90s that were awesome it felt like you were walking on clouds .
Bro I'd be happy skating 1362 a month lmao
Keeping an old skater current
Glad you enjoy the vids Walter!

I rode BMX in high school and I rocked some Half Cabs for a bit
Bro I just got black old school hi tops😂😂😂👌👌💯
🔥🔥🔥
Vans or nothing babyyyy!!!
💝🤝
Had the Steve’s actually they where pretty comfortable, I’m wearing high tops now as I am watching this 😂
🔥🔥🔥
Had a pair of half cabs, went through em quick cause being flat-footed sucks. Since then moved to slip-ons mostly.
You should try some waffle cup soles! They're more comfortable than your classic Vans soles.
XLT / XL3 🔥🔥
You still the sexiest barber/skateboarder/youtube superstar!! #Levi!
Hahah quit pumpin his ego! 😂🤪
I can’t believe I got a comment of the week. And even crazier you got the name perfect. I have in-laws that can’t even do that. Thanks
