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"?

Skateboarding and biking. Anyway, they are easy to wear.

Q2: How do you feel about the new "OLD SKOOL" model?

I've never really worn old school before, but these have a soft sole and a fresh design.

Q3. what is your favorite bicycle?

I bought this frame on eBay and have only been riding it for a little over a year. The frame was made with so much money that it is unimaginable now.

Q4. what kind of fashion do you like?

. I tend to buy a lot of used clothing. . I often go to vintage clothing stores in Shimokitazawa, where I live, and Hatagaya. If I had to name my favorite thing about today's outfit, it would be the socks from ......〈ching & co.

Q5. Where would you like to go by bicycle?

Day camping, I guess. On a fine day, we go to the Tama River and build a bonfire.
