FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNEW ABOUT VANS SKATE SHOES: The New Vans Skate Classics Shoes (2021)

More info and pictures here: shop.shredzsho...
Vans has reinvented it's skateboarding line, COMPLETELY GETTING RID OF THE PRO SKATE line and reimagining it to create the Vans Skateboard Classics series. We got a couple pairs of the new Vans skateboard series to unbox, do a skateboard wear test, and let you know our thoughts!
We tested out the Vans Authentic, Half Cab, Slip on, and Skate Hi. Here's everything you need to know about the new Vans Skateboard Classics: how they fit, how they skate, our review of them in comparison to the old Pro Skate line, and some of the new tech and features which Vans have added in. Enjoy!

As a Vans sales employee this knowledge about our new product is super helpful for me, I love to provide info about our new pro shoes and models to kids looking for new skate shoes. my only complaint is that weird shine one from the sick stick.

[@ShredzShop]

Stoked you enjoyed and found the vid helpful!!! Yea, when I asked about the shiny soles, they said that's how the trendy "Vans Vault" line shoes are so they did them like that. And I guess it's kinda retro too, cause back when they were made in California, when they came outta the molds, the soles would be shiny, kinda cool! But to each their own!

[@sashiftpi]

@@ShredzShop Are the new skateboard Sk8-hi shoes the same height as the Sk-8 hi Pros? Cause I don’t know if you ever noticed but the Pros were always slightly shorter then the normal Sk8-hi

[@ShredzShop]

@@sashiftpi Yo that's a good question! I went and checked heel to heel on a size 10 mens shoe. The SKATE Sk8-hi was 3mm taller than the normal Sk8-hi. Keep in mind with the 'Pop Cush' insoles, the height of the shoe might still not quite come up as high on your leg as a normal one, because the normal has a suuuuper thin canvas insole. Hope this helps!

[@hollow_w33n]

vans, especially the pro line, have always been my go-to for both casual and skating, so i'm stoked to see this drop. say what you want about vans, but they definitely care about the skating community 100%.

[@ShredzShop]

Let us know what you think! Love hearing people’s feedback!

[@grego9097]

I figured you could skate any pair of Vans, but the ones specifically made for skating said “Pro” and had the Cush insole to prevent heal bruise and added comfort

[@ShredzShop]

You can for sure skate any pair, just the SKATE versions have a lot of added durability and support. Like if you get the regular canvas slip ons, you’ll put a hole in them pretty quick. Where as the SKATE version has a layer of soft rubber under the canvas, so when you kickflip through it your shoes still last for months.

[@51OAKLANDER510]

Bought two pairs of the skate half cabs in all black. Been waiting for some since I seen them as a kid( not that I ever seen em in this solid all black version when I was a kid, but always seen the silver and black or black and white half cabs. But never in solid black.) Very comfortable to walk in and skate in. At first I thought they were bootlegs because they didn't say half cab pro. But after doing some research I found out they were legit half cabs. Thought I had spent over $150.00 on fake shoes. I've been out of skateboarding for some time. But something about these shoes made me want to skate them. Bought a complete deck. Bought two pairs of the same all black skate half cabs. Haven't regretted a moment since I restarted.

[@ShredzShop]

Awesome!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ramrunsfast]

Levi, you and the production team are putting out some great content. I really enjoyed a previous video explaining the different types of skate shoes and the technology they have. It would be awesome if perhaps you can partner with more brands in the future like you did in the Vans Collab to talk about the shoe. One thing I would like to see incorporated is mentioning with each shoe type what type of skateboarding it would come in handy for. For example this new Vans style is an all around perfect shoe for your everyday rider. For those of you who are more into jumping down huge gaps we highly recommend you check out Vans (Insert model here). Another cool thing would be to do a review about the shoe and have a company spokes person share a little about the shoe itself, maybe they share a sneak peak of something they are working on that's still in the works. I know there will be people saying who cares about the shoe technology just go skate, but some of us really like to have our things dialed down and would probably be willing to pay more if we knew what certain technology the shoe incorporates that makes the $90 dollar skate shoe you find at your shop better than that $50 dollar skate shoe you find at your mall or online that sell them to make a fashion statement.

[@ShredzShop]

Thanks for the kind words Ramon! Much appreciated and I'm stoked you enjoy the vids! We definitely are trying to do a little more working with the brands to have them give more insight into how they design stuff and with what in mind. We appreciate your input and ideas, always love hearing what people want to see on the channel!! Much appreciated!

[@darrenparry3188]

I bought a pair of these Vans skateboarding shoes, the wine red/black Pro models. The pop cush sole is so comfortable and my word they're durable. I used to skate the old school Vans and these are on another level, personally, I think I'm only going to wear these from here on out!

[@ShredzShop]

hyped you enjoyed them! 🙏

[@forrestwhichard2862]

After many pairs of Vans, after the Classics, Era, SK8, Kyle Walker 1 and 2, Chima's, I've settled on the Ave. They are it for me.

[@ShredzShop]

Great shoe! 👍🏻 I would love to see the ave sole on some more shoes going forward!

[@brandonpaulin1595]

Pretty sweet. I’ll never forget my first pair of Vans. Before malls had them, before everyone wore them. I had to beg my mom to take me to our local skate shop (Home Skateshop Louisville KY) and get a pair of checkered slip ons. Skated em to death. That was before there was even a Pro line dude lol. Vans should continue sticking to their roots. If they do so, they will still be here in 100 years for sure.

[@ShredzShop]

I hope so! They've been great to deal with an a little independent skateboard shop!

[@tigerbalm666]

I skatebaord to BMX and mountain biking in Vans!

[@iqbalbalan]

I ride bmx and Vans has always been one of my favourite shoes. They're super comfortable, grippy, and looks super awesome. I just hope the new ones have better quality control, because in the last 4 years I've had a few pairs that last for years, and few pairs that last 2-3 months...

[@ShredzShop]

Crazy! I guess first off, make sure whatever shoes you're getting are BMX versions (added durability specifically where you need it for BMX), and upgraded soles to be stiffer under your feet. Second, if you feel like the shoes had something that was a warranty problem, Vans is really good at replacing shoes if it's a manufacturer defect, so hit them up for that!!

[@LarryJuan_]

Skating the pro classic half cabs right now, and I just got the newer version “skate classics” and side by side I can tell that the newer half cab feels like it has way more support!

[@ShredzShop]

Awesome! When I first looked I couldn't tell the difference until really examining, and then putting them on foot they fit nicer.

So this is the new Pro without saying pro ? I guess this apply just to the classic ones like old skool, slip ones? For example my style 112 would have the same pro name Just hope that the rubber is more durable

Great video.

These should all have a duracap on all the Skateboarding models. This will give you a layer of rubber underneath the canvas on all Skateboarding models.

not sure if this helps, but have you tried over-under lacing or double helix lacing? it'll probably make loosening/tightening easier.

[@RadddahTat]

@@hollow_w33n idk why, but it never crossed my mind lol I will try it out and thank you for the tip!

[@RadddahTat]

@@ShredzShop I have the sk8 hi, maybe these weren't meant for skating? I had no idea they made some specifically for skating, as in I thought they all were made as skate shoes. Definitely going to grab some in the next few days!

[@ShredzShop]

@@RadddahTat The Skate Hi's with the checkboard flag tag, means they're the ones with all the extra durable features for skating. 👍

The most important thing is, does US10 now equal to EU44? I always need to buy US9 and it’s 43 somehow and US10 is 44,5, US 9,5 doesn’t exist here. No other shoe has such bad sizing

[@ShredzShop]

The sizing should be the exact same as classics and old Pro Skate!

[@cowward7442]

Thanks for the feetback

[@WolfWould]

I have those Rowans for my next shoe. 🤘

[@ilovegoregrind]

been skating em over a month and theyre holding up better than any vans ive ever skated

[@WolfWould]

@@ilovegoregrind Oh sick. Thanks I look forward to it. I've got the TNT prototypes and I love them so I was happy to have the Rowans for next.

[@gio-mz3ty]

Are you sure they made these all new ones in the half cab silhouette? This is the first time I’m seeing them and they look exactly the same as just the classic ones that have already been out for years and years, and the ones you show in the video don’t have any distinct markings like the others you talked about.

[@ShredzShop]

Yea even the ol Half Cab got the juiced up treatment 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@tommyprevost1531]

I dont know why but I’ve never found a comfy pair of vans. I like them, but every adidas or nike sb shoe I buy feels better. Hopefully I can find a comfy pair at some point.

[@ShredzShop]

Half cabs, so comfy! 😉

[@tommyprevost1531]

Thanks @@ShredzShop I’ll have to try a pair sometime.

[@leviswitzer]

Lollllll I’ll take what I can get

[@nickmaatjes5611]

gotta get me some!!!!

[@brendonperez6654]

is the new shoes only white

[@ShredzShop]

Nope! The kinda main colour they let everyone out in is the retro off white/navy (it's a popular retro Vans colorwy from the 60's/70's) but they have the classic black whites in every single one too! Plus loads of new colours coming too!

[@typerightseesight]

those vans checker emblems are the ends of the film strips where it reels around the film reel. no?

[@ShredzShop]

I dunno! If they are, I've never been told that!

[@typerightseesight]

@@ShredzShop i always thought the vans shoe logo was like a film strip. and the checkers were that squared away way to mount the reel bro. lol. they use that!
