But what about the heelflip area doe?!?!?! I'm unsure that's reinforced...I'm hoping I'll be able to skate it! I m might wait till the non-knit version comes out though. I'm skating the Crockett 2s right now bc they're a high top that is the perfect amount of thinness.
These ones are definitely pointy, seems to be lots of people love the pointy toe. I actually prefer a little less pointy, but these ones were still good / didn't bother me. I know NB# just launched 3 Wide versions of their top skate shoes which is pretty rad.
I know what you mean. When it it comes to Vans I only skated Vulcanized Shoes because pop-Cush was revolutionary for me. Second I started wearing/skating the Rowan 2s all my vulc shoes kill my feet.
Im on the Rowan 2s i was skating my fallen from a wile and i never really skated vans before i mean i had the Rowley 2s back in the day but they did not last Im really liking Rowans just getting use to a shoe that i can feel everything.
Tha fact that shred shop responded. Man they are the real ones from a 35 year old skater any community activity feels good there are allot of assy ass asses out there. Light tight and bright brother 😎
I miss early 90's-2000's skate bulky shoes like Vans TAG XLT, Rowley [XL3] , Dustin Dollin, Jim Greco, Tony Trujillo OG TNT, Willy Santos, Chad Muska, Bucky Lasek and Liam Neeson. I miss those times no social media were just skate all day and physically socialize to people.
@@ShredzShop im a huge fan of the first model, I been skating only this model since 2019, I was super disappointed with the all knit version, mostly cause I really hit my feet with the deck very often and looking at that heel it doesn't seem better protection than the OG AVE's.
Literally just bought a pair of wayvee’s from my local shop, thought they were the most technically advanced vans shoes available (I’m coming from exclusively slip ons), guess I was very wrong haha
I love the tech in there, but I don't super love how they seem pre-distressed aesthetically. I'm currently skating a Vans Lowland, even though they are decidedly not skate shoes and I've been skating a shoe-shaped pile of shoe goo really; a couple ollies deleted the toe stitching on day one. I've always liked the idea of Vans more than the reality because they just aren't durable, even the old pro-line. I used to love the Cab 5 back in the day when I wasn't skating DVS, but I really haven't landed on the shoe I feel good in since I got back into skating this past year.
The Cab 5 was a sick shoe! They have a pretty crazy 90's re-issue shoe dropping this summer that has a little bit of Cab 5 vibes. Also people seem to be liking the Rowley XLT's if you like puffy!
@@ShredzShop I like a shoe with a good puff, but my wife decidedly does not lol; I've had minimal luck convincing her these are "sporting equipment" because I just wear them all the time. The Rowley does look cool, but they don't seem to stock them locally to try them on, and I'm just so gun shy of spending that much on a Vans product hoping for the best with the backlog of them being made of paper I've experienced for decades. At least in the early 00s they were cheaper than the competition so you could sort of justify it.
Man the original ave’s are starting to be hard to get ahold of. Honestly I wish they would just continue making those I think they look a heck of a lot better anyway.
How much padding does the heel have by the Achilles tendon? I have messed up heels and can’t do shoes without padding there like the vans authentic or converse chuck Taylors. I want it, but I might have to wait for the non knit ones.
There's actually a lot of structure back in that zone, with the TPU plastic guard holding the heel. I don't think they'd be a problem for that. Only part that lack padding is the top of the foot (no tongue, so no padding there). But if it's something you have series problems with, maybe try a pair on at your local shop!
Everyone at the shop skates a bunch! Levi is currently skating some AVE 2.0 to test, but was skating the Walker 2s and Emerica Figgy Dose a lot in the summer (but thin shoes with a sturdy cupsole). Jordan at the shop skates Rowan 2's & NB #600 (Tom Knox pro). I've been skating the new New Balance #440V2 & Vans Crocketts.
@@ShredzShop has anyone skated tiagos? I really like the 1010 goes good with my slip tapered jeans I wear. I want to try the 808 but I'm afraid they are gonna be to bulky and not work with slim jeans
I think they’re still releasing the 1s and I think the next 2’s that come out that are suede will feel/ look a lot more normal if the knit isn’t your thing. 👊
Sadly lots of skate brands over price their shoes! Why would people spend over $100 for shoes they are going to tear up and skate! It’s ridiculous, I always wait for sales when they are like $30 to $60
Same. Tried them on. First thing I noticed. They crush your toes when your toes bend. hmm not sure these will break in over time. It's pretty painful. Probably returning.
Love Vans.. my shoe of choice 98% of the time in the 10 color/patterns I own… BUT this Ave 2.0 drop was a disappointment of a product. Going a half size up does zero justice to a better feeling shoe. Ruined the whole day..
I never had a problem with the old ones, but I know lots of people with a further back wear zone (heelflipers or people with a diff ollie zone) would shred the mesh right behind the suede.

What's your thoughts on these new AVE's?! Also, what shoes are you currently skating?
Those look sick. Vans rule. I always have the half cabs or skate high's
They look like 💩. Skating 1010
@user-xs2wb2lf2p yea come to Calgary!
But what about the heelflip area doe?!?!?! I'm unsure that's reinforced...I'm hoping I'll be able to skate it! I m might wait till the non-knit version comes out though. I'm skating the Crockett 2s right now bc they're a high top that is the perfect amount of thinness.
LAKAI ALL THE WAY. I have the Mods right now. They were all WICKED cheap $$$$. Gots me 9 sets. That should last a bit.
I cant believe the vans head designer is called Neil SHOEMAKER. Wtf 😂
Probably Doug Shormaker's son and I'm not bring facetious.
Like Gary Bowser of Nintendo
It'd be nice if these bigger shoe companies would start using wider/natural toe boxes instead of continuing the trend of pointy shoes.
These ones are definitely pointy, seems to be lots of people love the pointy toe. I actually prefer a little less pointy, but these ones were still good / didn't bother me. I know NB# just launched 3 Wide versions of their top skate shoes which is pretty rad.
I recommend New Balance if you're not already skating them. The 480 has one of the best toe-box shapes I've skated.
@@adams.gestwicki5292need a skate shoe for us flat foot mfs
alot if not most skaters are thin, and have very thin feet
You can wear whatever shoes you want. All I'm saying is, "Have you seen what feet are supposed to look like?"
th-cam.com/video/Ap990027tOY/w-d-xo.html
ave and rowan 2's are vans' best skate shoes and arguably the best shoes out right now. I couldnt imagine wearing a dif shoe than the rowan 2s.
Jordan at the shop has been wearing the Rowan 2s and loving em!!
The insoles are TERRIBLE. That alone made me buy something else.
I know what you mean. When it it comes to Vans I only skated Vulcanized Shoes because pop-Cush was revolutionary for me. Second I started wearing/skating the Rowan 2s all my vulc shoes kill my feet.
Are they really that good?
I'm not a Skater, but these are the best looking Vans I've ever seen. Off-white, Clear, and Volt looks B adass together..
Just ordered 2 of the black version from Vans. Skated since 84'. Have never had Vans. You're a good sales man!!
Can't wait for Hoka to make a skate shoe. Maybe my old ass could start skating again
😆
Im on the Rowan 2s i was skating my fallen from a wile and i never really skated vans before i mean i had the Rowley 2s back in the day but they did not last Im really liking Rowans just getting use to a shoe that i can feel everything.
rowans are so cool because you get boardfeel but when you step off your feet arent rattled like with regular vulc shoes
They're a really great sole!

Just ordered Jaws pro model FP footwear, not a insole swap out guy so trying there product this way
I'd be interested to hear what you think aafter skating them!
His model names should be stuff like: "Foot" 😂 The Jaws Foot
Can't wait for these new AVEs to come out!! Right now I'm skating a pair of Jordan Legacy 312 Highs, since they're all I've got lol
I love these shoes so much, especially the black ones.
👊👊
Why won’t Vans stick with the knit upper?
Been skating AVE's for a couple of years now. Swap the laces to some bullet proof laces and these last. Stock laces last about 1 session... maybe 2.
You skating those Christian Flores laces?
@@ShredzShop Lifetime Laces for the win. i had to look them up. It's been a minute. Because they last.
I hope Vans continues the XLT. XLT's are still the best. Just got the Chili Pepper ones and looking forward to skating them soon.
They are keeping them rolling, have some classic colorways coming out soon!! We're actually working on a XLT vid at the moment!
@@ShredzShop can’t wait for that!!!

Wayvee's are pretty tech and a great shoe! These are just a little bit more!
I prefer the next ones
I don trust that mesh for heelflips
Also the new ones look wayy better
I really like the look of the future drops because I like a little padding on the tongue.
Bday in may
These or the new ishods?
Can’t wait for the suede upper release🔥
they’re selling out quick!
Just Ordered Mine.
Love to hear what you think after skating em!
The only Vans shoe I like is the Zahba but only in the Zion colorway. This is the second Vans shoe I actually like.
Rad! Similar shape to those Zions, cup with a pointy toe.

Heelflips absolutely decimate the completely fabric ankle area.
Where can I find information regarding the new Ave 2.0 (no knit) version, like the Gray pair that you have in the video?
They are releasing soon! I think mid next month!
A bit expensive at $140 over here in Sweden. But if I was a better skater I would try them out. My Footprint Decenzos work for me.
Definitely a higher pricepoint, How do FP Decenzo's cost in Sweden?
Heelflipers will destroy theses in a couple of hours
When I heelflip or double heel my soul is always flat as it slides off the grip tape 🤔
Y'all don't matter...
you aren't looking closely
I'm thinking I just flip it fucked up or something. Any damage I get is purely on the rubber
Do they fit true to size?
Yep!
These skate so well!
You already skated em!?
I was lucky enough to skate a pair for a Fast Times review 🙌🏻
th-cam.com/video/BnHEl3L6awo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OfKwU5YyIJN6w5Pq
I was lucky enough to skate a pair for the Fast Times Skateboarding channel and loved them!
Does the heel explode like that for hard landings?
self destruct mode!
Man the original ave’s are starting to be hard to get ahold of. Honestly I wish they would just continue making those I think they look a heck of a lot better anyway.
I think they might be discontinued now these drop. But let me double check that!
The original AVE’s were trash in my opinion, they hurt my feet when I wore them, I returned them the day after I bought them.
The Rowan 2!!!!
They had a slow start, but people who have been skating Rowan 2's are loving em!

Thanks a bunch. That helps a lot. I might pick some of these up for summer shoes. I bet these will be nice and cool on those really hot days.
I hope they're selling those tennis ball colour ones too, that's the pair I want.
We didn't get that color but there are a few shops that have em!! I recommend getting them at a skater owned local! Avoid the malls!
@@ShredzShop No worries, the malls are long dead here.
So far my 2 favourite skate shoes are Vans Half Cab and Kyle Pro 2😎

How much ?
$130 usd so im assuming $165-$175 cda
These actually look like what Koston wanted to create, but didn't.
They definitely have a lil Koston 3 vibe to em!
Woow shoes only for dry weather 😊
I've been walking to the dog in the snow with em! They don't leak through the soles at all
Bare foot skaters rise up
👣squad
You didn’t show us what it looks like after being skated 😑
I love Ave enough that I would probably still buy these, but damn I do not love them aesthetically.
I get that, I feel like they look alot better on foot. Your pants cover the sock top of the shoe and they look more normal.
@@ShredzShop ahhh yeah that's definitely fair. Honestly the sock thing is the part is really don't like the look of so that could be cool
Can't wait
Yeezy 2.0s
We were calling them the AVE flyknits, but Vans doesn't like that description.
They look like 4 different shoes Frankensteined together
I've worn regular Vans AVEs for years. Not really happy about this 2.0.
I think they’re still releasing the 1s and I think the next 2’s that come out that are suede will feel/ look a lot more normal if the knit isn’t your thing. 👊

They feel surprisingly stable on foot!
I have wide feet, these would not work for me, cool lmao
I wonder if any shoe company will make shoes more wide set for people like me one day
New Balance just launched a wide version of 3 of their most popular shoes. The Jamie Foy Pro 306 Wide, The 374 Wide, & my fav the new #440 V2 wide!
