Vans were a big thing in the 90s in U.K. and mainly for male teens. I was surprised to find that they never went out of style in USA. Who most commonly wear vans these days?
Literally everyone
In Spain? Everyone. From toddlers to 50 yrs old.
I think there are a number of different groups who have worn Vans, and on the surface they might appear to have very little in common. You’ll have the OG 60s/70s skaters, the SoCal deck shoe people, the 80s Fast Times slip-on wearers, the 90s skaters, the 00s chonk shoe people, the damn Daniel era white or black Old Skool on-trend people, the Sneakerhead Vaults people, and many others. Honestly, I feel like the thing that most differentiates Vans wearers is being different, even inside of a culture or subculture. I’d think it’s rare that anyone goes and gets some Vans because ‘everybody else is wearing them’ or because it’s status.
Yeah, I was wondering that. Would you say that just as many females as males wear them?
I’m not sure that I’ve noticed much of a difference in my area, as opposed to something like Chucks which does have a noticeable difference. But also in my area I find it unlikely to see more than one or two other people anywhere I go with Vans.
Oh that’s interesting. So many people say that everyone wears them, but maybe Vans folk flock together 🤷♀️
Probably skaters.
