When it comes to shoe brand skate videos they tend to take a long time to come out, mostly because shoe companies can afford more travel and higher production value. Sometimes these videos take years, in fact. I can't even remember how many years we waited for Lakai's "Fully Flared" and Emerica's "Stay Gold" to come out. Close to half a decade for both, I believe. Well, Vans has hired master lensman Greg Hunt and begun filming their video. But no deadline has been announced. Recently, I posted a rather popular story that has people mistaking me for a hard-hitting, serious journalist, so when the Vans team came to New Jersey and stopped by NJ Skateshop in Sayreville for a demo, I decided to pretend like I was one. I asked Hunt, Anthony Van Engelen, Jason Dill, Daniel Lutheran, Gilbert Crockett, Johnny Layton and more the hard-hitting question everyone wants to know: WHEN WILL THE VANS VIDEO BE OUT? And I got the inside scoop. The answer? Soon. Full video after the jump »
