The time to skate with Vans is… now.

Ever end up skating in shoes that aren’t made for skating? Maybe you weren’t planning on going for a skate, but a board appears and you think why not. Then, half an hour later, you look down and realise your shoes look like a slice of swiss cheese. It’s a crumby feeling… If only you’d had your skate shoes on, you goose.

Well say goodbye to that problemo friends with Vans launching their skate classics range, which sees them apply the same skate durability and strength to the Slip-On, Old Skool, Sk8 Hi and Authentic. This means, as long as you have your Vans, you’re always wearing a skate shoe. Ya get it?

To celebrate the launch, they’ve snapped Aus/NZ locals Poppy Olsen, Digby Luxton, Adelaide Norris and Elijah Robertson doing what they do best around their respective cities and even immortalised Adelaide and the Slip-On with a 15 metre wide mural.
