I got on my facebook and saw a girl post a photo (which got 15 likes) of light blue vans and the caption said:
"My life would be complete if I had these"
What's so special about the shoes? It's just a single color, why is it so valued?
Why are Vans shoes so popular?

There "so popular" because you saw one picture of a girl wearing them? I don't think there popular at all, I never see anybody wearing them anymore.

Because middle-school.
I honestly don't know... they are marketed as skateboarding shoes, but you'd think skateboarders would want something with ankle support and grip... but I guess not.

People wear them at my school too silly
I like them back in the day because they were cheap.

Well, they're not super valuable, they're just really cool.
I wear Vans, they're the only shoes I really like, everything else just seems to be cheap overpriced bullshit.
Vans shoes last forever, I swear if feet didn't grow people would only need like 1 pair of vans their whole life.
And besides being a classic shoe brand, Vans are freakin sweet looking and feeling.

It's hard to believe that people still consider these in-vogue. You may as well don some aviator shades and a handlebar pornstache at that rate.

Because they're simple and not showy and they look good. It's why they've lasted for so long.
If you want good looking shoes and you can't/don't afford Vans go to your local shoe store and buy some white slip ons. They're about $20 and very nice shoes. When they break in a few month (because they will) you just buy another pair.

But you're not making a statement with Vans as you are with Ed Hardy or some aviator shades. They're just nice and easy shoes.

Some people have interests that you may not share. Get over it and stop whining.
It's simple, really. People see other people wearing something in an entirely randomly generated state of mass opinionated interest. This leads to inflation.
You do not make examples, you make excuses; you do not solve problems, you shift problems; you do not stand behind your statements, you stand behind your stasis.

Heh, it's not even an interest. Just a casual observation on what culture absorbs, and when.
Vans are an integrated brand by any stretch of the imagination. The OP's statement feels out of place when these shoes have long been part of our culture. Their marketing has been highly successful since the Game Boy Advance was still in the 'new' section of Gamestop - and even further back, in the 1970s-80s, before their initial bankruptcy, the company has prospered to a certain degree. To refer to them as a relatively new phenomenon boggles my mind.
It's comparable to calling Quentin Tarentino an amazing up-and-comer director, solely because you saw his name in bold on every Django Unchained poster. Just feels... a bit out of touch with everything.

They look fucking terrible most of the time.
Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.
You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.

It is an interest. It performs like an interest. The interest's results replicate the event of interests. It's a fucking interest.

I'm not concerned with what image Vans had created for themselves. They look like nice shoes so I buy them.When I find nicer, cheaper shoes I will buy them too.
Why does it seem that every thread becomes a proving ground of who's a bigger faggot?
Don't know; don't care. I buy whatever shoes I fancy and I don't think I've ever personally gone out and bought a pair.

Hey. That's my insult. At least put up a picture.

You're shifting your gayness. Why don't you confess?

It takes strong thoughts to write kinky shit. Therefore this is another hint you're gay.

The more we discuss; the more you discover. It is you that is gay.

They are like the Toyota of shoes. If you dont want something flashy, but something modest and humble you wear vans. They are plain, indiscriminant shoes incapable of showing 'flare' they are for all intensive purposes, just shoes.
I'm just a dreamer.

In other words, you are an idiot who jumps on the idiot bandwagon and points fingers with the ''cool kid''. Got it.

That's a lot of info you got on me over one shot post. Insanctuary, you are the only smart person on NG who owns people all the time and is super cool (You can tell you're super cool because you use the blushing smiley on every post).
I didn't know you thought Sekhem was cool? If you want to be part of the cool kids the first step is to kill yourself.

There isn't many emoticons to choose from, so I would expect you to understand the limits, as well.
