Vans

Why did we include the Vans brand in the Thestreets store?

Vans is a streetwear brand that doesn't need much explanation. It has its origins, but in the city it also works quite simply: as a shoe that fits into an everyday life and a relaxed silhouette. When something feels natural when you move and can be worn repeatedly, the street will keep it.

Most often, this is through a clean fit, where the shoe keeps the step relaxed and the rest of the outfit is more about the cut than the inscriptions. Vans works when it's not crowded and simplicity is allowed to work. When moving around the city, it quickly becomes clear whether it's a pair that goes into rotation naturally.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• for everyday days in the city, when walking, sitting and short trips alternate

• for a free weekend mode, when the outfit should be relaxed and without much solution

• with wider trousers, where the silhouette of the shoes looks natural and does not overpower the rest

• for meetings outside, when you want a civil impression without a sports set

• for traveling, when a simple pair that can be worn over and over again is suitable

When considering an alternative for longer walks, many people alternate their wardrobe with new balance. And with a more pronounced basketball-street mood, the nike dunk will naturally also be included in the combinations.

What to look out for when buying

When choosing, it is good to be honest about how much you will actually walk in them and what type of day awaits you. In the city, the feeling in your step after an hour is decisive, not the first impression in the fitting room. It also makes sense to consider how the shoe goes with the pants you wear most often, because a simple silhouette can be sensitive to proportions.

The most common things to look at are:

• how it feels after a few hours of moving around, not just when you first put it on

• whether the shape fits in the front so that the leg is not cramped during a long day

• how the silhouette looks with the length of the pants you normally wear

• whether it can be worn repeatedly without feeling like the outfit is always the same

• how the rest of the fit works so that the result does not look "too sporty" or "too school"

When an outfit is to be shifted towards a more urban stability, nike air force, and as a complete basis for regular movements, simple sneakers are still held.

Frequently asked questions - FAQ

Are Vans more for short movements, or can you work in them all day?

It depends on how much you walk and what your daily routine is. It is best to notice whether nothing presses after an hour of walking and whether your step remains natural without having to correct it.

How to wear it so that the outfit doesn't look too "skate uniform"?

It helps to keep the rest of the outfit civil and work with the cut, not with a lot of thematic details. When the fit is simple, the shoes are just a natural base.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

With this silhouette, I often see people decide after a few steps and after noticing how it goes with their pants. When standing, everything looks the same, but walking will show if the leg feels natural. The biggest difference is the proportion: when the shoes and pants "fit" together, the outfit feels calm without much thought. And that's exactly why Vans remains in rotation.

Who is Vans for?

It suits people who want a simple urban base and don't want to tackle their wardrobe as a project. It also makes sense for those who like a relaxed street style without a sporty feel. It works on days when the pace changes and the outfit should remain natural.

Palladium

Why did we include the Palladium brand in the Thestreets store?

Palladium works in the city especially when you are looking for practicality and don't want to have shoes that will scare you off on the first bad day. The street is full of surfaces that are not pleasant, and when the weather is added to that, you start choosing according to what will last. It is in this mode that the meaning of a taller silhouette and a firmer stance becomes clear.

Most often, this is done through simple urban layering, where the shoes maintain character and the rest of the outfit is functional. Palladium is worn so that the silhouette looks natural even when moving, not just "for effect". In practice, it is important that you can walk in it for longer and that the outfit is not heavy.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• in the transitional period, when wind, humidity and long journeys around the city alternate

• for weekend walks, when walking through the park, pavement and ordinary streets

• with simple trousers and a layer on top, so that the shoes hold their position without excess pressure

• for traveling, when you want one pair that can handle multiple modes

• for days out, when comfort only becomes apparent in the evening, not in the morning

What to look out for when buying

With Palladium, it is worth considering how the ankle fits, whether the height of the silhouette suits you and whether it is it will allow you to walk all day without a struggle. In the city, it also determines what you will wear it with most often, because higher shoes can change the proportion of the trousers and the entire outfit. It makes sense to look at whether it is a pair for everyday days, or rather for situations when the weather and surface are not pleasant.

The most common things to look for are:

• how the ankle fits and whether the silhouette maintains a stable feeling when walking

• whether you can walk in it for longer without getting tired due to the stronger construction

• how the height of the shoe matches the pants you wear most often

• whether the outfit doesn't look heavy when you add a top layer

• how the pair behaves in normal city mode on different surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Can it be worn in a normal city, or is it more for specific days?

In the city, it works perfectly when the rest of the outfit is kept simple. The best thing to do is to see if the height of the silhouette suits you and if the shoes don't tire you out when you walk for a long time.

How to combine it so that the outfit doesn't look too heavy?

It helps to keep one element more prominent and the rest more clean. When the volume of the pants is balanced and the top remains simple, the higher silhouette looks more natural.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

With taller shoes, people often decide only after they take a few steps and sit down. When standing, everything looks stable, but when walking, it becomes clear whether the ankle fits and whether the shoe is not dragging the foot. You will also be surprised how much the length of the pants decides, because it can make an outfit either clean or unnecessarily heavy. When the proportions are right, a pair can be worn often without being a "special" piece.

Who is the Palladium brand for

It suits people who are outdoors a lot and are looking for practicality in the city and when moving. It also makes sense for those who want a more solid silhouette and don't want to rely on one type of weather. It works in a mode where the day consists of movement and shoes should be a support, not a worry.
