Hello mallrats! Its the first matchup of our Sweet 16. Two iconic stores battle it out in our search for the malliest mall store. This time, it's Vans vs Foot Locker. Only one of these shoe store juggernauts can make it through and it's up to YOU! 

Production Fellow Daniel Huecias is defending Vans and tells us why that checkerboard slip-on pattern is so important to not only mall culture, but pop culture in general. 

Producer Richard Robey defends Foot Locker and explains why it's the best spot for window shopping.

Stay on the lookout for our next matchup! We'll be heading to the Department Store region for Nordstrom vs Macy's!
