This past Wednesday night in New York City, Vans celebrated their 50th Anniversary at the House of Vans as part of the year long celebration of one of the most iconic skate shoe brands of all time. The place was packed with Vans history, riders, legends, and fans, that were all treated to burgers, waffles, beers and a killer concert from Yeasayer and the legendary Nasty Nas. Congrats to the whole Vans family and everyone involved for supporting skateboarding from day one. Skateboarding wouldn’t be the same without you and we thank you!—Jaime Owens
