Vans – Dennis Enarson Old Skool Pro BMX Colorway

July 14, 2020

The Dennis Enarson Old Skool Pro BMX shoe colorway from Vans has arrived!

It’s always funny when you think about something, and then it happens shortly after. Just the other day we were thinking that it was surprising that Dennis Enarson hasn’t had a signature colorway from Vans yet, then today news that his signature Old Skool Pro BMX colorway is dropping this month arrives! For Dennis’ colorway, he went with this rad olive with gum and white accents, with added graphics by Thomas Hooper on the heel and the footbed that adds that extra pop to make it Dennis’ own. Check out photos and more details about the shoe below!

United teamed up with tattoo artist and BMX rider Thomas Hooper on a collaboration frame that features Thomas’ own design. This video gives you a little insight into the process of creating the design and what went into making it all. This is pretty rad! Check it!

“Thomas Hooper revisits his childhood riding spot, Sidley Woods and also a guest stop at Two Snakes Tattoo to talk to Peter Adam about the limited edition frame wrap he collaborated with United on. If you’re unaware of Thomas Hooper, he is one of the world’s most sought after tattoo artists who grew up in the legendary UK BMX hotspot, Hastings and now years on has reignited his passion for riding a 20″ bike.
