A vintage-flavoured kick you can actually skate in? Where do I sign up?

For years now we’ve been watching Andrew Allen taking to the streets of California like a knife takes to butter. Going against the grain throughout his career, whilst always managing to stay relevant and exciting, is the AA schtick – a schtick that has earned him hoards of fans around the world who can’t avert their eyes when his laidback style is gracing their screens.

Now we have a shoe that embodies that craft-appreciating, fluidly-cool style of his, the Vans x Hockey Andrew Allen Edition. Featuring a vintage graphic, repurposed from the early 2000s, the kick is perfect for street skating with Vans incorporating Duracap technology to reinforce underlays in critical high-wear areas prolonging the life of the shoe, so you know it’s going to be able to hand any curb or ledge.

The kick and accompanying tee will be available 23/4 at select Pro Skate LTD accounts. For more information, visit vans.com.au.
