Kevin Peraza Discusses His Signature Vans Old Skool Pro Colorway

The Kevin Peraza signature Old Skool Pro Colorway from Vans officially dropped this past weekend during a launch party in Austin, Texas. While that was going down, Vital caught up with Kevin to talk about his shoe, what it means to him and his family, the new BMX specific sole that we’ll be seeing on more signature models in the near future and more. Check out the video, then get a closer look, along with full details on the shoe right here!

“Kevin Peraza teamed up with Vans to create a shoe specifically designed for BMX. We caught up with Kevin this past weekend in Austin, Texas to learn all about it. Check it!” – Vital BMX

What do you think of Kevin’s new shoe? Are you digging the classic checker pattern? What do you think of the BMX specific sole that Vans developed for this? Let us now in the comments!

VANS – SCOTTY CRANMER SIGNATURE SK8-HI PRO COLORWAY

Leave a Comment

Scotty Cranmer’s new Sk8-Hi Pro Colorway from Vans is available now!

Almost as soon as we posted the new Kevin Peraza signature Old Skool Pro colorway, we caught a glimpse of the brand new Scotty Cranmer signature SK8-HI PRO COLORWAY from Vans! We knew Scotty had something coming, but we hadn’t heard anything specific, so we thought it would be a little while out. Well, today is that day and these shoes turned out rad!

Much like his original signature Vans, Scotty went with the Sk8-Hi Pro for the model. As many of you probably remember, the last ones he had were completely blacked out from top to bottom and this time around he’s flipped it and gone with an all off-white / white look with red accents that turned out so good.

“Vans The Sk8-Hi Pro BMX in Scotty Cranmers signature colorway is a Vans classic upgraded for enhanced performance. Featuring sturdy canvas and suede uppers, the Sk8-Hi Pro BMX also includes UltraCush HD sockliners to provide the highest level of impact cushioning, DURACAP reinforcement rubber underlays in high wear areas for unrivaled durability, and the Vans revolutionary Wafflecup BMX construction for unrivaled support and pedalfeel.” – Vans

Much like Kevin Peraza’s shoe, these come with the new Wafflecup BMX construction that we are now 98.69% confident we have never seen until now, and we’re starting to think has something to do with the whole “BMX Support Group” thing we’ve been seeing popping up the past week or two. Funny how you don’t actually piece things that are clearly right in your face together until it hits. Either way, this sole mixes the classic waffle pattern with a diamond and octagon pattern and a flat diamond pattern that will give you plenty of grip since these were designed with pedals in mind!

The Scotty Cranmer Signature SK8-HI Pro is avialable through the VANS WEBSTORE now for $80.00 in sizes of 6.5 – 13 and we would imagine they will be landing at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Vans worldwide right now as well! Check out more over on the Vans website.

We would also assume that when Scotty mentioned he will be in Austin, Texas this coming weekend in his latest video, that he will be having a launch party like Kevin Peraza is! We will keep you updated when we get full details on that one.

The Kevin Peraza signature Old Skool Pro from Vans has arrived!

Here’s one for the Kevin Peraza fans out there! Vans have released Kevin’s own signature colorway for their ever popular Old Skool Pro shoe that we’re sure a bunch of you will be stoked on.

Kevin’s signature colorway takes the classic checker pattern and adds his own twist with a mix of black, red and white, with a stitched “Peraza” logo on the tongue, that turned out real dialed. The shoe is made from the same suede uppers with the DURACAP reinforcement rubber underlays to take the abuse in high wear spots. Inside they have the UltraCush HD sock liners to make for a comfy feel that can take on the impacts that riding throws at you.

Not your average waffle sole!

The Kevin Peraza signature Old Skool Pro colorway also comes with the Wafflecup BMX construction, that I’m 96.69% sure is brand new. I personally can’t recall seeing this, but maybe I had my waffle blinders on and missed this. Either way, the shoe features a blend of the classic waffle sole pattern with a diamond pattern, an octagon style pattern, and a smoother diamond pattern on the rear. With BMX in the name, we would have to assume this was designed to work amazing with BMX pedals. Just when you thought the waffle pattern couldn’t have been improved.

The Kevin Peraza signature Old Skool Pro Colorway is available on the VANS WEBSTORE now for $70.00 flat with sizes 6.5 – 13 available for you. We would imagine these will be available through all BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Vans worldwide shortly as well.
