Premium Old Skool 36 Sneaker

I’ve never had a problem with a return to N until now. I am curious as to why N would delete the return notice on my profile. Thank goodness I snapped a pic before the change was made and now to call N. Joy.

Super comfortable and stylish. True to size!

Not every day, but casual wear and I like to rotate multiple pairs!

I love these shoes premium version is fire but it needs the black stripe around the sole. Also the premium sole doesn't need to be so shiny.

Thought these were great until the soles started falling apart after less than six months of light occasional wear.

I daily drive my Vans. I usually have one pair and they're almost exclusively the only shoe I wear. These were unimpressive, but I'll start with the positives: They look nicer than the non-premium version. The suede is beautiful and continues to look nice. They're significantly more comfortable than regular Vans. They're unbelievably comfy for standing and walking, I forget that I'm wearing Vans and not old people sneakers. But the cons: The quality is terrible. I've had them for less than six months and the sole is like, shredding. I'm not doing anything crazy, I'm wearing them to work in an office and to walk my dog on a flat sidewalk. Maybe to the grocery store. But the sole and the white part around the bottom of the shoe are absolutely falling apart. I just noticed a tear on the heel, too, even though they're a little too big so they're not experiencing any stress in that area. I usually have to replace my daily drivers around once per year, and I'm disappointed that I already have to replace this pair. I'm already pushing my luck by wearing Vans in my business casual office, they can't be visibly falling apart. Overall, would not recommend. Not worth the markup for "premium," they're actually lower quality than non-premium Vans.
