Vans – Larry Edgar Signature Old Skool Pro BMX

The Larry Edgar signature Old Skool Pro BMX Shoe from Vans has arrived!

Here’s some news that we’re sure a bunch of people will be stoked on! Vans have released their latest Old Skool Pro Colorway! This time around they’ve teamed up with Larry Edgar on a shoe, snapback hat and long sleeve shirt in a Black and Yellow color combo with some unique artwork that fit Larry’s style well! The shoe utilizes the Old Skool Pro BMX model that we’ve seen for Kevin Peraza, Matthias Dandois and Ty Morrow so far, with Larry’s own personal touch on the insole and the midsole of the shoe. The Old Skool Pro also features it’s unique sole that mixes the classic Waffle pattern with a mix of a few other patterns and a harder rubber to give you plenty of grip on the pedals and resist the wear and tear! Check out more photos and full details below!

The Larry Edgar Signature Old Skool Pro Colorway is available on the Vans Website for $70 now and through BMX shops and mail-orders like Source BMX that carry Vans worldwide now!
