How To Style Vans (You’re Probably Buying The Wrong Ones...)

[@csqratch8792]

as a vans employee, I can definitely tell you that pro models are well worth it. Comfy cush models are cheaply made and do not last at all. Not to mention how off they look compared to the classic look.

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

they still only last like 3 seconds if you ride bmx or skate.

[@uropy]

Vans and Converse looks cheap. Avoid at all cost.

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

@@uropy not all vans look cheap. Some look dope. Converse just look ugly. And like tennis shoes. Or fifties basketball. But who cares if they don't look expensive? Bare shit looks cheap and costs a fuckload. Have you seen fendi shit?

[@mizheanfrazier5441]

Is it true the pro line will be discontinued?

[@csqratch8792]

Mi’Zhean Frazier from what I’ve been told, they’re not being discontinued. They’re just being all recalled to come out with a better version. I’m assuming better durability and comfort. This will only apply to all pro classic models.

Yo Johnny! Love how much effort and time you put into all your videos and how you style them in different locations and backgrounds.I know all of that tends to go unnoticed a lot so just wanted to let you know we all appreciate your efforts man.

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Appreciate the kind words Andrew!

[@tankbxy7609]

"slip-ons are better than old skools." i'm never going to let you live that down, johnny. never. (i work for vans btw. thanks for throwing in the extra educational stuff. makes my job easier when people already know a little about the shoes before they come in to buy 'em.)

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Of course! Aye man I like it for the functionality of easily throwing it on to go about my day haha plus $10 cheaper but I know the old skool is beloved by everyone. Slip ons just slightly surpass it ☺️

[@johnathanewing7293]

Really love theses fits! I can see myself wearing some of them and even adding my own alterations to the fits. I like theses types of vids a lot helps me widen out my style.

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Thanks for watching man!

[@ks-ws7te]

First sponsor video I did not skip forward. Those jeans are dope

[@IBeCozy]

One of my fave pairs I own are the white leather sk8 hi’s. I can literally wear them to dress up with a button front and fancy blazer or rock with a hoodie and leather jacket. Honestly it’s hard not to pick them for a fit because of the versatility. I’m very clumsy and can roll my ankle just from walking the wrong way, so high tops are essential to me and I def recommend giving sk8 hi’s a try

Those jeans look sick! So many details on them!

[@charlesvictoria6800]

The Black Vans Old Skools are like... I don’t try too hard to be cool, but everyone thinks I’m hella cool when I’m rocking these Old Skools. These shoes are hella comfortable, really affordable, gives a humble vibe but the coolest kid in town vibe. It’s a universal timeless shoe. You don’t need to buy an expensive $1000 shoe with a plastic tag attached to it with an off white logo on the heel. You just gotta be you and rock a black vans old skool. You’ll be cooler than those hypebeasts maybe even more with a relatable shoe like the Vans Old Skool. 🙌🏼

[@lappin6482]

have loved vans for years and years but strangely never owned a pair of slip ons....Im stupid for waiting so long...absolutely love them now...only vans I wear at the moment....nice video well done 👌

[@farhinali2176]

[@cccycling5835]

I occasionally skate (just cruisin/longboarding) and the Pros vans work great for even Mountain Biking. I’ve actually never worn one out. (Instead they usually get trashed before then, from biking. 😂)

[@courtneypalmer53]

I am definitely a Vans Girl. 😎 I prefer them over Converse. Even though Converse are legends as well I just prefer the look and feel of Vans on me. 👌

[@arrow_head24]

Bro. That pistol squat is legit.

[@MichaelAndrewTran]

almost 70k!! it's awesome seeing you grow bro

[@DB-wo6qj]

I ride my bike in Pro’s and wear Anaheim or Vaults casually. My heel can’t even take walking around in regular inline Vans for too long. I had to stop buying them. Once you go Ultracush or Popcush it’s hard to go back.

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Word!

[@tn1ce237]

I’m a SB fan been wearing damn near half my life since I’ve discovered them back in ‘05 I’m from Alaska born and raised so we catch up to or make up our own fashion/style (well I did) but this year I I live in Seattle and Vans has caught my eye I’m digging the Old Skool style so I’ve been on this Vans run for a minute, thank you man I subscribed to you just off how professional you are with your videos you’re pretty legit peace and love from the AK keep doing your thing man ✊🏾

[@Zee.112]

Hey Johnny, this was a really great video. I was actually planning to buy some Vans recently, but I was a bit unsure because of their flat sole which I usually hear only gives like 0.5 inches to your height. I know I'm probably just being really insecure, but I know based on your other video that you can relate to being on the shorter side too. I'm really used to just wearing AF1s, but your video introduced me to the Pro and ComfyCush models and those seem pretty cool with the thicker insole and the foam sole. Do you specifically know how much more height the Pro and ComfyCush model give? Again, I know it's pretty insecure of me but I like my shoes to at least have 1 inch in height because I'm short already.

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Hmmm I’m not too sure. I doubt it gives you any height. At least you’re self aware bro. Don’t give in to what you see online from the men’s lifestyle industry. You picking up shoes just to increase your height is you not being comfortable in your own skin. That’s something the men’s lifestyle industry should focus more on

[@Zee.112]

@@FlyWithJohnnyThai Np man, and thanks for the reply. And your reassurance is right, I think it's good that I'm self-aware and it sucks the fashion industry doesn't really care for us on the shorter side. Also, just want to let you know I've been binging through your youtube channel for like the past month ever since I found out about you. I've been trying to get into dressing better and as a 5'6 Asian guy it's nice to find a channel like yours with someone who has a similar build, age, and style that I'm striving for. Also thanks for those vids looking out for us on the shorter end (AF1s and style tips i can remember) and keep up the great videos man.

[@TalksWithTJ]

Love the work shirt fit, definitely for all the Earth tones. My checkered slip ons are my go tos

Have to have both. I love the Old Skools but gotta love how easy Slip Ons are to put on. Makes them an easy go to. And I agree bro awesome shoes to lift in with the flat surface! Solid video bro!

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

I love just not having to use my hands to put shoes on lol

[@stylewithaltitude]

@@FlyWithJohnnyThai Lol I still use my hands otherwise it ruins the back I find but I just love not having to tie on laces. Can be a burden sometimes. Just slip on and go. Gotta love slip ons man!

with black jeans, how do you avoid them picking up loads of dust/fluff? is it based on the type of material or are all black jeans like this?

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

It’s gonna happen anyways so I always have some lint rollers around

[@leah3403]

Yeah I definitely bought the wrong ones. I bought this weird color way that I found at the vans store in the mall and it’s blue with flowers, I should of just gone with basic/classic. I used to have checkerboard slip one though and the checker board sneakers! You look better then every Johnny. You posted this while I was sleeping. I definitely going to go on a spree, school started and I promise I’m as going to cop some of these apparel/attire and I haven’t!

Hey bro it’s not a big deal! If you liked the colorway that’s all that really matters tbh this is more of a PSA haha thanks for watching bro!

[@CaliKiid714]

If you want to go a step up over the Pro’s, look into Vans Vault. This year they changed up the whole shape of their shoes, so now they look as close as possible to the old Vans that they used to make in the US 👀

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Yes I should’ve mentioned those for sure

[@zacharyurabe3473]

Yo Johnny, love the video. I was wondering what brand the olive workwear jacket was. Looks dope and was looking to snag one.

[@pinoyBOTY]

would the comfycush be better if you only intend to use it for lifestyle and don't skate? also if you have flat feet?

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Mmmm I’d say try it on in store then. This is like cooking, my preference for salt is probably different than yours so season your food to your taste

Vans look the best the first day, then drop in looks for 2-4 weeks, then start shooting up higher than ever before until they literally fall apart.

[@darkrey_BriesVersion]

The classics and pros actually look different aesthetically, in the details. I personally don't like the red tags on the old-school. And I don't like the red off the wall stamp on the white models. The pros also fit kinda snug b/c of the thick insole. I prefer the classics, b/c the pros are meant for skating. But the real secret, tho it costs way more, is getting models from the anaheim and vault collections, especially b/c the both have a thin/ light ultracush in sole. But in my opinion, nothing beats the classics. Just depends on what people want/ like I guess, or if the details bother them

[@FlyWithJohnnyThai]

Nah 100% I agree bro! The shape is a little different and I’m gonna pick up the vaults soon ☺️
