convince me which to buy
Vans era vs authentic
era is objectively better
authentic typically worn by girls and screamo bands that r not good. occasionally they can be fine, but era is better.
Authentic
Reason: it's a true piece of Americana and California surf culture
era are more solid, authentic are like summer on californian beach. both are beater shoes so I would pick era.
Get CP's
neither, you shouldn't buy anything else from Vans but the Old Skools
objectively false.
I think they're honestly both hideous and you should try some shoes with personality.
how could it be objectively false when i just said what i said?
it can be subjectively false for you
Vans were used by many good designers before they had their own shoes. Their look is immortal, same goes with Chuck Taylors or Doc Martens.
FTFY
Chucks? yeah. Docs? maybe
Vans are insanely unappealing imo, that little wave is obonxious and I have seen zero (0) Vans that don't look CHEAP
This. Also, Eras are more comfortable but have a really bad silhouette.
authentic are more feminine,while era are more rugged and fashionable these days.
The real answer depends on comfort. The only difference between the two is the padding around the heel which can either be irritating or beneficial depending on your foot shape.
i prefer authentic.
But in your picture authentic looks like shit which is not the case irl
for X 10000 $
>"which of these $50 shoes should I buy?"
>"buy these $300 shoes instead"
Stop doing this shit, dumbass
Authentic 100%
Who wears them has nothing to do with the quality and looks of the shoe.
Or he could just buy the both pair of Vans 3 times.
>vans
>wearing 50 dollar shit tier shoes that inform everyone that you are devoid of personality
wearing expensive shoes that no ones knows about except yourself.
>implying I wear cps
Theyre boring. I just don't spend less than 100 on a pair of shoes. Vans are absolute dogshit.
I never really liked Era's they look like they're trying too hard to look like old skools
Authentic's look just right.
Also this
>i wear cps therefore i have personality
I use Vans for beaters and they have good quality and would last the same time as CP's if you get some leather version of Vans.
Also there's something called personal taste, don't force your taste on others.
They're wildly uncomfortable
eras are more comfy to wear, but the authentics definetely looks better
Era are basically good vans, they had to make them becuase the OG'd - authentics - were so bad when cmpared with more modern sneakers
his sweater looks pretty good
Try both and buy which one you like better. Why tf would you care what some internet randos think about this?
hahahahaha this is why I come to Veeky Forums,get fucked faggots who shit on vans and shill for expenisve shit. I've fucked so many girls wearing black authentic vans. stay pleb tier.
I need those in my life.
>my clothing is expensive therefore I have personality
Authentics work best for more minimalist fits
Eras work best for more stylized casual fits
I have a pair of solid black authentics that I wear with black dickies and black socks and it looks great
But I wear my eras if I'm going to wear them with jeans because the silhouette just looks better that way
So just base it around what you normally wear
Also, buy some cheap air-pillo cut-to-fit insoles, because those will save your feet big time
>cop leather slip on vans
>can walk long distances in them without my feet sperging
I'd go with authentic tho.
you two, get a very solid branch, get a rope and hang one to each other like the pair of testicules you are
this
>clothes define your personality
that's weird because i read your post and already know what kind of personality you have
i didn't even see what clothes you were wearing
huh
>trying to curate a personality out of expensive consumer goods
Veeky Forums in a nutshell
you are actually dumb. Vans are so prevalent that High Fashion designers copy vans model and sell them for hundreds.
Authentics are sleeker, eras are slightly more bulky and will kill your heel until there is a callus. Authentics are better OP /thread
Authentic : Mac DeMarco made me buy it.
