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"?

Markers all love "Vans," especially the old-school ones. . So when we get together at home, it's hard to tell whose shoes are on the front porch.

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

I have worn skate mids before because I like them, but these have a nice sole and such. In terms of color, I once wore an olive that was similar to these.

Q3. what is your favorite bicycle?

I went to a second-hand shop at the time I did my previous Cannondale model , and this one happened to be on sale at a reasonable price. . I usually ride a basic pisto, but this is good enough for a short trip.

Q4. what kind of fashion do you like?

Lately, I've been into tinkering with old clothes. . In today's outfit, I added leather from other old clothes to the inside of the hem of the pants, and I put various patches on the jean jacket.

Q5. Where would you like to go by bicycle?

. bicycles can take me to many different people, and on the other hand, I want to go to places where there are no people.
