Vans Old Skool: Is the quality off the wall? #shoemanufacturing #shoeproduction #shoefactory

Wade "The Shoe Dog" Motawi Brings The Vans Old SKool into the workshop.... Is the quality off the wall? https://shoemakersacademy.com/?ref=2 Vans Off the wall QC check! Hey folks, it's Wade here at Shoemakers Academy. We're in the workshop, I just finished some Black Friday shopping. I have a pair of Vans Old Skool skate sneakers here for a friend. Before sending them out, we need to do a little QC check. The blue suede and canvas, and the packaging look nice. Let's set the box aside now. Alright, we have a pair here, let's double-check. Size 10, made in Cambodia. It's got a VF, the owner of Vans Vanity Fair. It has a little material callout saying leather, textile, and rubber bottom. So, we'll take a quick look to ensure these are clean. There's a bit of dust, but generally, these look pretty clean. I like this dark blue, looks like over-dyed suede, and the canvas color matches well. We'll check for symmetry, ensuring the toe cap's straight, and the back vertical lines are even. Now, looking at the bottom, we have a sticker saying components are dyed material leather textile canvas. There's a possibility of color migration during use. It's interesting; this indicates a dye migration issue. They clarified it, so if you don't want the shoe, you can send it back. Other than that sticker, we see a little factory code—CLK, probably Cambodia. Another cut-open Vans down here; let's see what it says, could be Cambodia or China. Yeah, its notification is a bit hard to read. L
