Vans – Dakota Roche Signature Slip-On BMX Shoe

February 1, 2021

Check out the new Vans Slip-On BMX shoe in Dakota Roche’s signature colorway!

Here’s some news we’ve been getting some hints at for a little while now that we’re stoked to see is finally out! Vans have released their popular Slip-On shoe with a huge upgrade to use the BMX specific wafflecup sole! They’ve given Dakota Roche the very first signature shoe for this model and it turned out awesome. The Vans Slip-On BMX takes the look of the classic slip on, and pairs it up with the sole that was designed specifically for BMX with proper grip and durability, along with rubber toe caps for added strength and the PopCush sockliners to give you plenty of comfort. Dak’s shoe is available now in this clean Black and White color combo with an embossed logo on the top and graphics on the insole inspired by Dakota. These shoes are simple, and will be able to hold up to any session!

The shoe is available in size 3.5 all the way up to size 13 for $75.00 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Vans, and direct from the Vans Website now!

VANS X CULT “TRYING TIMES” – SoCal To Las Vegas

November 18, 2020

The Vans X Cult “Trying Times” video has arrived!

Here it is! The new Vans X Cult “Trying Times” video from a road trip that took Dakota Roche, Angie Marino, Sean Ricany, Chase DeHart, Brandon Begin, Richard Hernandez and Robbie Morales from SoCal to Las Vegas! As expected, these guys came through with amazing riding on a ton o great spots, with excellent film work from Veesh. This is an absolute MUST SEE, so get on that play button!

“Vans & Cult reunite for the new mild-melting film, Trying Times, which chronicles the experience of a shared crew of BMX riders road tripping from Southern California to Las Vegas. Managing to keep things light and easy despite the currently challenging landscape, the film captures the camaraderie, core tenets of each brand and the iconic riding that backs it up. The team, including Dakota Roche, Angie Marino, and Sean Ricany, kept spirits high throughout the project, which is punctuated with CULT’s bold signature aesthetic.

Despite the level of uncertainty that has permeated 2020, the project brought a new level of stoke:

“Through it all, the one thing that remains unshaken is the love and passion for what we do. We will continue by any means necessary. 2010 UNTIL THE END.”—Dakota Roche
