My all time favorite pair were purple/gray/purple suede that were brand new at a thrift store for $7.00!! I was so stoked. I bought the kicks and ate top ramen the rest of the week!! Absolutely best decision ever hands down!!
when my dad was a young scruffy surfer/ skater kid in SoCal in the early 60s, he wrote a letter to Vans saying how they should start using Velcro for their shoe laces. to this day he still talks about how he shot himself in the foot (pun intended) by letting his idea go for free haha. Love seeing this guy pursue a passion + to be able to make money while doing something he loves! Vans shoes are a staple in my wardrobe. My friend had all us bridesmaids wear black sparkly Vans in her wedding!
My son went to his homecoming (only 1) & rocked a checkered bowtie & suspenders, black slacks with solid white vans 🛹. He was so fancy & in his comfort zone. He is now a Marine 💜.
@@BrandyD1777 I bet he looked so great! sounds like he went to homecoming in some serious style + bonus, his feet prob didn't hurt afterward haha. best wishes to your stylish, hardworking son!
@@hesherette Thank you so kindly. He definitely stood out & didn't worry about standards....he just wanted to dance with his highschool sweetheart he had just started dating. Your friends wedding pics have to be awesome. Also, happy to hear you had a down to earth Dad with style ❤️.
I first bought a pair of the black and white checkered Vans for a friend over 10 years ago not knowing much about the brand,but in the last 5 yrs I have grown to love them.I have about 4 pairs mostly slip-ons.Love your collection...
I was a board 🛹 baby. My son grew up riding. Vans & Hook-ups decorated my boards among some others. I love seeing the classic stuff 👍. I have many stickers of above mentioned on a full length mirror that will always stay with me.
What's the point of collecting them or continuing to collect them if you have no way of displaying them all? The majority are still in boxes or just squished together on shelves.

This is actually really cool and seems to be a fun hobby 👏🏽💛
Giving back to the needy: fun hobby
How is being overboard obsessive and hoarding your house with pointless shoes is “cool and fun” ?
Khalilah D, you aren't wise at all ....
@@emmarosie7176 he’s a collector, historian and it’s his JOB. Weird comment to make just because you don’t understand it
@@jesseladd6864 imagine thinking hoarding this junk is considering “a collector” lmao
I bought my 5 year old his first pair of vans the other day and it was such a moment 😻

I’m a minimalist, always have been BUT I’d make an exception when it comes to Vans. I’m very envious right now 😅

No matter how you throw a van's shoe, it will always land right side up. Try it!
I thought I had loads he wins. I have like over 100 pairs

Nice to see a guy who collects shoes ... instead of the stereotypical woman being interviewed in her huge walk-in closest.
Cool guy. I fear for the smell around his house though :p
He’s the Imelda Marcos version.
This guy has the worlds largest Vans collection but I dont see the pro model shoes from the 90's and 2000's.
Fuckin right on, man
