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"?

I always have a pair with me at all times for some reason. First it was the Skechers, then the Ellas without laces, then the Ellas with laces, but it became too much of a hassle and I finally wore slip-ons.

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

It's been a long time since I've worn skehighs , and these were easy to walk in with the POP CUSH insoles.

Q3. what is your favorite bicycle?

When I left the messenger company I was working for, the frame was ruined and I replaced the parts with this "ALL-CITY". I have been using a KASHIMAX saddle for about 10 years.

Q4. what kind of fashion do you like?

Basically simple outfits and old clothes. . Recently, however, I've come to think that I like to wear new shoes. . When I ride my bicycle, motorcycle, or car, I wear "Vans.

Q5. Where would you like to go by bicycle?

Okutama because there is a road I can go from in front of my house . . I also want to run in the center of the city like in the old days.
