Freedom and frenzy as depicted by an Australian genius.
Vans x Wade Goodall Collection.

Wade Goodall's approach to surfing has been described as "mad scientist-like. . He is always creative in his surfing, with a dash of madness. . In his personal life, he is free to travel and work on his art. His approach to life itself is artistic.

One look at Pentacoastal, the surf cinema epic that Wade created, will show you how unique and arty he is (the opening and closing illustrations are also by Wade).

And this collection with "Vans". The main focus of the collection is shoes.

. these shoes are tough, and the bonus is that they have primary-color laces, so you can make them your own. I think you can be yourself no matter what mood or phase you are in. Some have painted watercolor prints and embroidery throughout , others are classic and clean. Sometimes I tone it down, sometimes I'm happy, and sometimes I'm covered in paint, just like me," Wade says of the series.

There are four types of shoes in total. The first is the "Destruct SF," created for surfers. The all-black pair is reinforced with rubber in areas prone to wear, while the leather upper, white stitching, and yellow laces express Wade's playful spirit.

The classic "Sk8-Hi" silhouette also has a black base, white stitching, and blue laces. Star-shaped artwork on the sole .

And actually, Wade loves metal (he also listens to blues). . and he also loves Ozzy Osbourne and the like. With this background, the "SLIP-ON" design has a metal and punk flavor. The Slip-On sandals feature a classic bust drawn by Wade. The footbeds of the "Sk8-Hi," "Slip-On," and "Slide-On" are made of Vans' Ultra Cush. They are also removable.
