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.

Converse
Why did we include the Converse brand in the Thestreets store?
Converse is a classic that has survived in the city precisely because of its simplicity. The street likes things that can be worn without explanation and without the need to change your entire wardrobe. When the silhouette is not loud, it fits more easily into different styles and periods.
In practice, it is often a clean urban fit, where the shoes hold their shape and the rest is about comfort. Converse can be worn casually, but when the proportions of the pants are right, it can also look neat without being formal. It works best when the outfit is not overloaded with details.
How to wear them, what to combine them with?
-
for everyday days in the city, when you want an easy step and easy combination
-
with wider trousers, where the silhouette balances the volume and the outfit does not seem heavy
-
with denim and minimalist fits, where layering is not a problem
-
for meetings and transfers, when you want a civilian impression without a sports set
-
as a calm base when the top carries a more prominent element and the shoes are supposed to ground it
When you want to maintain cleanliness, but add more comfort when walking, people often reach for new balance, and if you're more into the street basketball mood, jordan 1 comes into play.
What to look out for when buying
With Converse, it's worth considering the shape and how you walk in it around the city, not just how it looks when standing. Some people want more space in the front, others need a more stable feeling at the heel so that their step doesn't seem uncertain. It's also important what pants you'll wear it with most often, because the silhouette of the shoe can change the whole impression.
The most common things to watch are:
-
how the shoes behave after hours of walking, not just when you first put them on
-
whether the shape at the front gives the foot natural space on a normal day
-
how the silhouette works with the length of the pants you wear most often
-
whether the fit can be kept civil even when layering in the transition period
-
how easy it is to combine without the outfit always looking the same
When you want more skate vibes without much explanation, you often compare vans, and for a more urban statement, people sometimes reach for nike air force.
Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Can I work in Converse all day long when I walk around the city a lot?
If the shape fits and the foot has natural space, a normal city day is usually fine. It's best to notice how it feels after walking for a few minutes, not just the first impression when standing.
How to combine it so that it doesn't seem too "school"?
It helps to work with the cut of the pants and one calm layer on top. When the silhouette is balanced, the result looks more mature without being forced.
Practical experience, tips and tricks
With Converse, I often see that people mainly want a simple base that will not interfere with their day. The most important thing is the size and whether you can walk normally in it after a few minutes, not "whether it looks good". It is often surprising when you find out that one classic silhouette works with multiple styles without having to change your entire wardrobe. When something does not make noise, the street wears it longer.
Who is the Converse brand for
It suits people who want a clean urban base and do not want to deal with fashion trends every month. It also makes sense for those who mix civilian layers with street details and need a shoe that holds it all together. It works on days when the pace changes and the outfit needs to stay natural.
