Vans – Courage Adams Slip-On BMX Colorway
Vans recently gave Courage Adams the well deserved bump on up from the Europe team to the Global team, and it looks like they aren’t wasting any time getting the party started. They’ve just release Courage’s first signature colorway on the Slip-On BMX shoe and it looks awesome! As many of you know, Courage is originally from Africa before moving to Spain as a kid, and he has had some unique artwork paying tribute to that on his other signature products from Flybikes. They rolled that aesthetic into the shoe with a unique leather that has an elephant skin texture, along with his Elephant logo in a clear rubber sole! The shoe is the Slip-On BMX model with the special waffle sole that is designed specifically for BMX pedals, giving you plenty of grip and a longer wear life.
You can pick up the Courage Adams Slip-On BMX colorway for $75 from the Vans Webstore in sizes 3.5 up through 13 now, or through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Vans worldwide as well! Check out full details and more photos below!

Vans X RADshare
Vans have teamed up with Steve Crandall‘s non-profit RADshare to help get kids on bikes with the proper gear, along with a place to ride their bikes! Here’s a look at what went down at an event earlier this spring showing what RADshare is about, along with a look at some of the kids who have benefitted from the program so far. This is awesome to see, so get on that play button and take a look at the good that is happening!
Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, is proud to present the Vans x RADShare Project, a short video highlighting Vans’ ongoing partnership with the Richmond, Virginia-based nonprofit to uplift local underserved communities and empower more kids to ride BMX. Timed around Go BMX Day this July 20, 2021, the Vans x RADShare Project was designed to drive participation.
Earlier this year, Vans team riders Trey Jones, Perris Benegas and Marshall “The Major” Gehrke spent time at Richmond’s Gillies Creek Park, where RADShare was founded in 2019 by BMX community leader Steve Crandall. RADShare’s mission since inception is to create a safe, accessible BMX culture through developing shared spaces, educational workshops, gear donations and advocating to close the opportunity gap. Vans teamed up with RADShare to support this effort, providing one-on-one experiences for local kids to ride with BMX pros and get dialed in with new footwear, as well as helmets and bikes.
“Having fun and getting people stoked, for me, has always been the essence of BMX and the communities I’ve been a part of,” said Steve Crandall, RADShare founder. Bringing that level of fun and accessibility to a younger generation of riders is what Crandall and RADShare thrives on.
Through Vans, that vision has been strengthened by ongoing event, athlete and product support. This year, donations of new Vans footwear stoked out local kids at the Vans x RADShare ride day. Coming full circle, the first recipient of RADShare’s BMX bike donation program was able to nominate his friend to also receive a new bike, as well as a new helmet and Vans.
“Sitting on the roll in of the pump track and looking around at the faces, it was easy to measure the success of this collaboration,” Crandall said. “Together, we are building a more inclusive and supportive BMX community.” – Vans
