Debate: Navy vs. Classic Blue
So you already have a pair of Vans Authentic's locked up and you are looking into buying yet another pair because, well, they are totally radical. The real issue here is not that you have a bunch of the same sneaker (since they are unstoppable) as it is what colorway should you spend your hard earned 42 bucks on? You've got your standard natural canvas, white, navy and red to choose from, but with the weather warming up you now have all these seasonal joints hitting the shelves as well. Do you go with the navy standby or do you rock the classic blue just now made available? Is it about the contrast stitching? What about the color of the sole? Damn...do you just buy both? You tell me 'cause I sure as hell don't have any idea.

Just got the classic blue ones a few months ago. They look amazing with everything. The colour pops so nicely.
ReplyDeleteif you are a little crazy and wear brighter colors grab the classic, if you wear quieter colors, go for the navy. personally, i wear the craziest colors possible in the summer, so i would scoop up a pair of classic blue
ReplyDeletefor the seriously minded well dressed gentleman, navy. for the conscientiously, carefully adorned young hipster, classic blue.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind either color, but it's always been about the gum sole.
ReplyDeleteDo I need to even say anything?
ReplyDeleteoof tough call but navy is my vote. classic, more subtle and versatile but hey, your call my man.
ReplyDeleteEschew "Classic Blue". There is nothing whatsoever classic about it and it has no place in a gentleman's wardrobe
ReplyDeleteNavy- if only to avoid the atrocious cobalt sole of the 'classic' blue. The gum sole is essential.
ReplyDeleteI'd normally go with Navy anyday but on this particular shoe, I'd have to say classic blue
ReplyDeleteNavy. Z-Boy's would approve.
ReplyDeletegum soles all the way
ReplyDeleteI own both. Can't wait for warm weather when the authentics come out to play.
ReplyDeleteColour wise they run the same route.
ReplyDeleteBut, as unitedstyle and preston said if you're up for a pair, whatever the colour it's all about a gum sole.
Old School - the colour is a misnomer; a pair of shoes with not one but two adverts on them have no place in a gentleman's wardrobe. If this isn't reason enough to cut a new tack, bear in mind Cad's, Heels and Bounders always have more fun and prettier girls.
Navy with the gum sole. Can't beat 'em.
ReplyDeleteI lean towards the classic... Navy.
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing Navy Authentics for years and years. Once one pair gets so worn out it's embarrassing to wear them in public, I just buy another pair. There is no greater shoe.

ReplyDeleteAuthentics are indeed great.
However, they're great pumps.
Amongst the behemoths that roam the shoes-plains they are but stick boys armed with pea shooters.
Navy, no doubt, it comes correct.
ReplyDeleteFeelin the contrast stitching and gum soles hardbody...gotta go for the Navy, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently obsessed with these

Navy for sure. For a short time they had a nautically-themed authentic. It was navy, with a white and navy striped side panel. So tight.
