I would say the NIKES sb are better. Even vans that are designed for skating will not hold up with the quality and durability that NIKE SB offers. Nike usually cost more than vans though so you are paying for quality.
According to several reviews, both Vans and TOPMAN Plimsolls are said to be really great shoes. However, TOPMAN Plimsolls are a better athletic shoe, whereas Vans are a better skating shoe.
osiris is better, but vans are more commonly seen :)
Converse
I would use vans or dc shoes for street skating especially if you are wanting to get serious about it. also nike makes a good street shoe. but it is really what is comfortable with you and what you are comfortable skating in. but all these shoes have a different grip so pick the one that you really are comforable skating in.
There are a number of skating shoes that have helped sorts people to achieve brilliant levels in their careers. Some of the most famous designs are; Fallen Footware, Vans, Globe Shoes, DC and etnies.
nike
Vans are mostly. The classic Black and White ones are most favored.
I want to get some casual shoes, and I saw vans old Skool shoes, but those are 60 bucks, and I saw a pair of Levi’s for 30 bucks, so should I go with the levi’s because they are cheaper, or will vans be better for the money and last longer?
Cheap skating shoes can be purchased at stores such as Vans, Fishbone, Payless, 6pm, and Sports Authority. Many stores offer wide width options on these type of shoes.
When i checked my Vans shoes it said, Made in China.
