r/Vans

The JJJJound are my favorite lifestyle Half Cab all time. Soft size, super easy to wear and the right color. I saw that the new navy Decon came out and wanted to get a pair so I can wear the jjjjounds less. When I got the I realized they are far from the same. The jjjounds are a little taller and definitely higher quality since they are OTW. Anyways.. here’s some quick pics.

I have been a fan since my first pair of checkerboard slip-ons in the late 70’. I was rocking old skools and sk8-hi’s throughout the 80’. I am an old head who will be buried or cremated in my vans….I’ll leave that up to my kids to decide which pair will go with me.

I got these last week and have worn them 2 times, I really like them but I’m sad at how fast they’re peeling.

I have other vans and they’ve peeled but I have had them for years now.

I don’t know if they’re old or if maybe where they had them stored is affecting, I didn’t get them from a retail store but from an online store on IG, I don’t know if I should tell them about it.

Never owned a pair of Vans in my life, looking to get into them since i’ve heard good things about them for skateboarding and overall daily use. Would this be a good choice for both of those? I’d say they would be like 60/70% daily use and the rest being skateboarding. Also how are they in like various weather? Are they more breathable for hotter weather or would they keep some heat in for colder weather? Thank you!
