Vans

[GloriaBunniford]

The clothing label.
Not the vehicles.
DS wants Vans clothes.
All his mates wear Vans.
Apparently it's a really cool label.
DH says its a skateboard label and only skateboarders should wear Vans clothes, anyone else will look stupid.
DS is not, and never will be, a skateboarder.
I say you can wear Vans even if you're not a skateboarder.
Anyone with any inside info on this?
Which one of us is BU?

Of course anyone can wear them.

I wear vans clothes. I do not skateboard.

I was wearing Vans today. I'm nearly 40 with 3 kids and a boring office job. They're definitely not just for skaters!

My Vans trainers are the most comfortable footwear I've ever had. I am most definitely not a skateboarder.

I wore my vans to nursery drop off and pick up today. Haven't touched a skateboard in 15 years. I am overweight. Noone will mistake me for a skateboarder. They are the comfiest shoes I own. Noone I know that wears vans products skateboards. Or at least hasn't since misguided attempts at falling on our faces as kids

DC2 wears vans stuff and has never been near a skateboard ever.

I’m 36, too fat and clumsy to ever skateboard and am currently sitting on the bus home (not skateboard) wearing vans trainers with a vans backpack

Your DH is a berk

That’s like saying only athletes should wear Nike where as in reality people wear it for fashion very frequently.

I'm talking about Vans clothes.
Not the shoes.

Both my sons (35 and 26) wear Vans, DC and Element, always have.. neither of them have ever been into skateboarding.

I wear Baseball boots, but dont play Baseball.. not much more to say is there?

I wear vans and have never owned a skateboard and my 19 month old wears Vans and also never skateboards🤣🤣🤣

Does it matter? Its just a decent brand, no big deal..

I've worn Vans most of my life and I have never one skateboarded.

Makes no difference. It’s a brand that your son wants to wear, who gives a shit what his extra curricular activities are

I'm wearing a Welsh rugby hoodie at the moment. I've never played rugby.

DH has read this thread and says if all these women are wearing Vans clothes then it's most definitely not a cool look for a teenage boy!

😱 I'm offended by your DH 🤣🤣🤣🤣

looks down at my Vans, having never put a foot on a skateboard in my life

I think he'll be fine, OP

Does your DH cultivate a floppy fringe and a moody glare, and frequently declare that you ‘just don’t understand me or my music’?

Vans sold out. As did Quicksilver and every brand you've ever heard of!

He sounds lovely.

What about kids that wear a footy shirt but don't play footy?

Yeah just out of interest what does your DH wear?

I wear vans. I sometimes trip over my own feet, trust me I’m not skateboarding anywhere.

DH says Vans clothes haven't sold out, says he's checked and there's lots of their stuff for sale🤔

I have Vans shoes and my name certainly isn't Avril..
