VANS and BIKE GO WELL TOGETHER.

Twelve bicyclists who wear the evolving Vans in an unchanging style.

Vans" are known for their skate shoes. This image is not mistaken, but if you look at the feet of the coolest bicyclists on the street, you will notice that a high percentage of them are wearing "Vans" shoes. They have a design that is ageless, a structure that can handle intense action, and a one-of-a-kind personality that "looks good even when it's falling apart. These qualities are not only appealing to skaters, but also to cyclists who wear sneakers hard. In recent years, sneakers equipped with the latest technology have been released one after another with dramatically improved functionality. This time, 12 bicyclists collaborated with the new "SLIP ON," "OLD SKOOL," and "SK8-HI" released from the "Vans BMX Collection," which feature the "Wafflecup BMX" cupsole construction and rubber pedal guards. See the snapshots of their individuality competing with each other, wearing the evolving Vans with their unchanging style.

Q1. What is your image or memory of "Vans"?

. The image of skate shoes is still my favorite. I have been wearing "Vans" for a long time, and my favorite was the "TNT". . I like the color black, and if it doesn't have a surf line, I don't like it. Also, the more ragged they are, the cooler they are.

Q2: How do you feel about the new "SK8-HI" model?

I thought, "Skechers are so easy to wear!" I thought, "Skehighs are so easy to wear! They were not this light before, and the POP CUSH insoles are soft and fluffy.

Q3. what is your favorite bicycle?

The frame is from "UMEZAWA" and I have been riding it for about 8 years now. I found it on Yahoo! Auctions at the time, and since then I have used it for both work and private use.

Q4. what kind of fashion do you like?

Simple . . I like vintage clothes. I bought the sweatshirt I'm wearing today at Butter Vintage, a vintage clothing store in Yokohama, and I wear pants all year round from Dickies.

Q5. Where would you like to go by bicycle?

An island somewhere in Izu . I would like to camp with my bike on the ferry.
