Skateboarding

The third stop of our 2016 Come Up Tour (C.U.T.) hit Aiken, South Carolina, this past weekend at our good friend Bo Mitchell’s HIC Skate Warehouse. The BBQ was burning, the sun was blazing, and sweat was dripping. The thriving scene in the small, cozy southern town of Aiken, South Carolina, is alive and well, and you can say you heard that straight from us! But check the video recap above to see for yourself. It was a fun weekend, big thanks to Bo and his family for showing us a great time! Next stop—Louisville, Kentucky!

On the heels of a memorable celebration honoring Vans’ 50^th Anniversary this past March, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand gathers momentum with the second installment of the commemorative Vans Pro Classics Anniversary Collection, available worldwide today.

Backed by the biggest names in skate alongside the most beloved legends in BMX, the Vans Pro Classics collection is enhanced with innovative performance features that provide upgraded cushioning and durability via Vans’ Pro Skate performance technology, featuring supportive ULTRACUSH HD sockliners for resilient cushioning and advanced comfort, and DURACAP reinforced underlays in high abrasion areas for premium durability and consistent fit.

Heralding the “Off The Wall” lifestyle of boards and bikes since the early 1970s, Vans’ Pro Classics Anniversary series continues to honor the brand’s enduring athlete heritage. With tribute releases inspired by freestyle BMX pioneer Eddie Fiola and cherished BMX innovator Dennis McCoy, the fall assortment upholds Vans’ unwavering support of the BMX sport, and aptly coincides with the release of Vans’ first full-length BMX film, Illustrated—available now on iTunes. Last but certainly not least, skate icons and venerated historians of skateboarding, Christian Hosoi and Jeff Grosso, also lend their influence, reviving timeless colors and checkerboard flair from their heyday into the lineup.

New colorways and patterns of the Sk8-Hi Pro and the Era Pro join the timeline this fall.  Visit Vans.com/ProClassics for authorized Vans dealers and to learn more about the Pro Classics commemorative styles.

It technically ain’t summer yet, but this edit will get you ready. Featuring Adrian Vega, Andy Pitts, Christian Alexander, Davis McDonald, Josh Zonker, Alex Fatemi, Simon Jensen, Jordan Gesko, Logan Hillenbrand, Lui Elliott and Charles Lamb.
