May 2, 2023

Fairdale and Vans have teamed up for a collaboration bike and shoes!

Here’s a look at a new collaboration that Fairdale and Vans have teamed up for! They’ve taken the Fairdale Taj and gave it some custom graphics and Vans padset to go along with a BMX Old Skool shoe and BMX Sk8-Hi shoe, along with a matching shirt and water bottle. Check out the promo video above by Taj Mihelich, then get more details on the collaboration below!

“We’re happy to introduce the limited-edition Vans x Fairdale project, which includes a Taj cruiser, BMX Sk8 Hi and Old Skool sneakers, water bottle, shirt and a giraffe!

Vans has been a strong Fairdale supporter over the years, so it was only a matter of time before we partnered up on a bigger project. Drawing inspiration from both of our worlds, this project combines a classic Vans aesthetic with Fairdale’s fun and playful take on branding.

In all seriousness (kinda), It was a huge honor to design some actual Vans and put a giraffe on them. Perhaps you too can perform the Kiss of Death!
