Vans

Jupiter on the side there.

My Collection has grown a bit since these pics were taken.. I'll have to take some updated pictures sometime.

There's also some apparel in the collection. Kinda plain but tasteful IMO.

These feel so much better than the Sk8-Hi to me. Got the great popcush insoles, a more tapered ankle, and the best ankle support other than maybe the Full Cabs. I've dedicated these to be my current pair to skate in (designate one or two pairs at a time to keep the rest fresh).

One thing to point out tho is that it is a cupsole, not vulcanized. So while there's better support/cushioning, there is noticeably less board feel.

Thought it would be cool to see everybody's Vans they wear to work.

These are my trippy pair, great for a casual day.

Can't decide on the lace style..

I was waiting for a restroom while I was working and got an email from Vans about these. I was thinking I'd wait until I got home to buy them, but spontaneously pulled the trigger in that moment.

Well I'm glad I did because they sold out in seconds... so many people on r/vans complained that it was already sold out before they even got the notification that it was available.. One of the more rare pairs I have.

Bonus pic of that 8.5 FA Archangel deck I built as a cruiser.

Releasing on the JJJJound store July 20th, 12 PM ET, and a global release on vans.com and other retailers on July 28th.

When it's hot and I want a breathable beater, nothing beats the wayvee! These have become my go-to shoes for screwing around in the summer.

Log was about 5 feet high, just for reference.

There's some tough contenders for me with Tony Hawk, Caballero, Andrew Reynolds.. but Anthony Van Engelen takes the cake for me.

Love his street style his classic counterculture fuck you mentality that I miss nowadays in skating. And who besides A.V.E gets SOTY at 40!? Madman..

Love the board shape of his FA/Hockey decks too, which is pretty much all I skate anymore.

What about you all? Who's your favorite?

Got this pair on clearance, and they've been my daily drivers for over two years.

(I'll confess I had to google "rainbow vans" to find their name.)

Beatrice Domond Collab and Ultra-range Neo VR3 are both available now!

These are available now at the juice store. Doesn't look like they're going to have a wider release.
