“Uprise teamed up with Vans again this year to bring back the Half Cab that was received so well last year. The idea was the same: work with Vans to develop a Half Cab that had the design details that we all loved from the Half Cab that we stocked when the shop opened in 1997. We even made sure to bring back that classic Vans natural cardboard box, but with some new Uprise details. 

Although made in limited numbers, the Uprise Vans Half Cab is designed to be skated and shredded.”

The collection features appareal as well as a curated selection of exclusive colorways in the Old Skool Pro, Slip-On Pro, SK8-Hi Pro and the Style 112 Pro.

In celebration of Fucking Awesome’s first store, Vans is releasing five colorways of the Fucking Awesome x Authentic C Pro, which will be releasing exclusively at their new store in Hollywood on May 11th. To the untrained eye, it looks like a regular Authentic, but upon closer inspection you will notice the heel panel found on models like the Era, thus giving these an Authentic “C” moniker. Which colorway are you feeling?!

“In skateboarding, community is everything. Anywhere in the world, if you skate, you’ll find a home among the local scene. Australia’s Pass~Port has built a worldwide following by fostering skaters and creatives alike, pushing boundaries with rich and honest visuals backed by a feeling that what matters most is that you do whatever you do with soul. In honor of this spirit, Vans Pro Skate unveils a limited-edition Pass~Port Sid Pro and matching Bomber Jacket to mark the second collaboration between the two authentic skateboarding brands.

Defined by an embossed allover brick pattern, Pass~Port’s new Vans collection is inspired by local spot “Fitzy Plaza” located in Edinsburgh Gardens, North Fitzroy. The burnt red brick community building and the lush green footy fields surrounding the spot were a direct influence on the shoes and jacket design. With custom tongue labels and embroidered Pass~Port logos on the instep and heel, the Sid Pro—a reintroduced 90s Vans style almost exclusively utilized as a silhouette for collaboration—references the digger man motif often seen in Pass~Port graphics and the brand’s retro visuals inspired by skate videos of decades past.

Silo, as well as a few Vans Skate retailers will be releasing these on 4/20 for $90.
