Vans Presents Courage Adams

April 4, 2019

When you see Courage Adams‘ name pop up on a new video, you know things are going to get crazy. This new one for Vans is on a whole different level. Courage in generals is on a whole different level when it comes to balance and bike control, and this video is nothing short of a mind melter from the crazy riding that is non-stop from start to finish. Add in the incredible film work that Rich Forne did and you have a BMX video you can’t pass up. Hit that play button!

“Introducing Courage Adams’ first full edit.

Ever since stepping on the scene, Courage’s been turning heads with unreal bike control and explosive moves.

With Rich Forne as the creative mind behind the lens, Courage’s first street part is guaranteed to keep your jaw nailed to the floor.” – Vans

“Jaw-dropping power combined with mind altering technical wizardry. Courage redefines the realms of human capability with one of the gnarliest tricks I have ever filmed.” – Rich Forne

Sneak Peek: Vans – Limited Edition Swampfest Slip-Ons

March 23, 2019

Are you heading down to Florida next weekend for the FloriDeah Swampfest? Make sure you get there early on the 30th because there are 100 pairs of the VERY limited edition Vans Slip-On’s that will be for sale. Since there are only 100 pairs that will be available, we would imagine sizes are going to be limited so these will probably go real fast. No word on price, either, but we would assume whatever they are being sold for will be worth it. These things look so badass. Check out more photos below!

How sick are those graphics?

Swampfest embroidery on the back.

Badass graphics made their way into the insoles as well!

What do you think of the shoes? Would you pick these up? Let us know what you are thinking in the comments below!

“The Vans BMX Team welcomes Dennis Enarson to the family island-style. Tag along as the crew embark on a journey to re-discover one of the heaviest concrete parks ever built in the most unlikely of places, on Grand Cayman Island in the middle of the of Caribbean Sea, the infamous Black Pearl.

The Vans crew rolled through the House of Vans London during the Kevin Peraza signature Old Skool Pro Colorway tour. This was a mix of a session, along with a photo show for Eisa Bakos and Jeff Z.. Needless to say, it was a full house and there was no shortage of dialed riding and good times being had. Take a look!

A Day In Lyon, France With Kevin Peraza

February 20, 2019

Kevin Peraza is on a European tour to promote his new signature Vans Old Skool Pro Colorway and he recently spent some time in Lyon, France for a day of BMX Support Group action and some riding time! Here’s a look at what he got into throughout his day. As always, Kevin delivers on the riding and there’s a bunch of great footage from some of the Vans team riders along for the trip like Matthias Dandois, Alex Valentino, Nico Badet,

“Kevin Peraza’s first trip to Lyon, France lasted just shy of twenty-four hours, but he definitely made it count. Watch as he hosts a “BMX Support Group” at Bros Bike Store and shreds with the locals at Gerland Skatepark!”

Kevin Peraza Discusses His Signature Vans Old Skool Pro Colorway

February 12, 2019

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

February 5, 2019

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.
