They literally made these the gross colour your actual white shoes eventually turn after wearing them for awhile. Scrolling past this image, at a glance I just see old dirty white runners.  But I bet they cost a fortune. Is this trash-fashion as well, or just a really terrible design?

it might even make picking up trash a trendy and cool stuff to do, you never know (but that was probably the art director's pitch to the board anyways)

Don't own Vans but if I bought them I'd get the  all black ones for a cleaner look(probably with black laces).

I have 2 pairs of these but the comfy cush version... although a bit uncomfortable at first, after that they get pretty comfy... bought them cause my uniform must be all black... oh and I never paid more than 60 usd per pair... there's always a store online trying to get rid of old collections...
