Vans to Launch Ryan Villopoto-Endorsed Shoes in 2010
Vans has been a supporter of Ryan Villopoto ever since he was a 13-year-old amateur, and he’s now a pro motocross and supercross champion and sponsored by Monster Energy drink. As part of his race for Kawasaki in the 2012 supercross and outdoor motocross series, Vans will be releasing a new Ryan Villopoto shoe.
There are actually new Ryan Villopoto Vans shoes: the Vans Ruark and the Vans Fontana. Each shoe is accented in green, yellow and blue, just like his race kit. The shoes also feature Ryan’s signature artwork and number, making them truly unique.
There have been previous releases of Ryan Villopoto Vans shoes, and many skateboarders call them the most comfortable pair of Vans they’ve ever owned. This often happens with Vans shoes designed by pro athletes, who are skilled at creating extremely comfortable and durable footwear.
It’s likely that there will be another collaboration between Vans and Ryan Villopoto in the future, since it’s been so successful in the past!

Vans Era 59 Shoes – New for Fall!
The hits from Vans keep coming: every year they release a number of new and improved lines that fit with the style of the season. Brand new for fall 2011 is the Vans Era 59, an updated version of the classic Era shoe, with a few trendy details such as a tartan lining and leather laces and detailing.
The original Era shoe was created in 1975 and bore the number 95 (originally all Vans shoes were called by a model number), quickly becoming the go-to shoe for skateboarders in Southern California. Skateboarders have always loved Vans for the waffle grip sole and durable construction, so we’re sure they’ll love the new Vans Era 59, which is sure to increase comfort and cushioning while skating. And, because it’s made of durable canvas, it will last on and off the board without showing wear and tear.
The Vans Era 59 comes in a variety of colours, including black, castlerock (grey) and navy. What’s your favourite colourway?

Rowley Stripes Skate Shoes
Vans is going waaaay back with a fresh twist for their release of the Rowley Stripes, an updated court shoe designed by pro skateboarder Geoff Rowley. The Rowley Stripes is his twelfth signature shoe for Vans, and each style he’s done in the past has been a huge hit – obviously, skate shoes designed and developed by a pro skateboarder are going to be good! Rowley has painstakingly tested and perfected the Vans Stripes, which are built on a next generation BoardFeel XD outsole and EVA footbed (EVA stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, and is a dense, eco-conscious foam that acts as a shock absorber).
Pro skater Geoff Rowley thought about his early days of skating while he was creating the newest Vans shoe, bringing in what he liked to wear when he first started skateboarding in England at the age of 13. For this season’s design, he drew a lot of inspiration from his earlier, popular Squares skate shoe, but added some updates to make the look more fashionable.
Rowley has made sure that the new Vans Stripes ideally balance durability, grip and comfort, with a sturdy design that is cushioned yet lightweight. You can find the Vans Rowley in four rich colourways: eggplant with cement accents, black with white, cement with pebble, and black on black. And, attention animal lovers: Tthese new Vans men’s shoes are vegan and animal-friendly, made of synthetic leather and canvas – although you can get the Rowley with reinforced suede uppers.
Want to see the Rowley Stripes? Here they are!

Weird Al’s Shoe Fetish: Vans Slip-Ons
Weird Al has been poking fun at everything he can think of for years with parodies like “Like a Surgeon,” “White and Nerdy” and “Amish Paradise.” He’s played sold-out tours all over the world, and just keeps coming out with more albums of cleverly-worded satirical songs.
He even made fun of Canada in his Straight Outta Lynwood album, with the song “Canadian Idiot,” a parody of Green Day’s song “American Idiot.” The song makes fun of Canadians for living on donuts and moose meat, and he sings:
“Tell me, what kinda freaks are that polite? / It’s gotta mean they’re all up to something / So quick, before they see it coming / Time for a pre-emptive strike.”
But, there’s one thing that Weird Al takes very seriously – Vans Shoes. Yankovic says he’s been collecting Vans shoes since the early 80’s, and owns about 100 pairs, mostly Vans slip-ons. His collection of crazy shoes, which include Vans slip-ons with palm trees, Hawaiian patterns and of course, the classic checkerboard squares, are often seen onstage when he performs. How many pairs of Vans slip-ons do you think he takes with him when he goes on tour?
Check out a photo of Weird Al with his impressive Vans shoe collection!

Get Set for Summer With Vans Flip-Flops
They used to be a girls-only outfit choice, but lots of guys have embraced flip-flop sandals, wearing them with shorts and khakis in the summertime. One of the problems with flip-flops is that they often offer poor support, rub your big toe the wrong way, and slip around while you’re walking. But, not the Vans sandals collection. There are many different Vans sandals styles to choose from this summer, all awesome in their own right – here are three of the most popular sellers, built for three different activities.
If you want a sport sandal: The low-key Thresher Plus Vans sandal is built for comfort, crafted with a soft suede strap and non-irritating toe post. The footbed is cushioned, and as a bonus the midsole supports the arch. This Vans sandal has rainbow stitching around the suede straps and comes in basic black, beige or brown.
If you want a beach sandal: The La Costa Vans sandal utilizes the Off The Wall style of the classic slip on, with the cloth Vans tag on the strap and the waffle pattern grip on the sole and footbed. But, Vans has taken the classic slip on and put it onto the beach, and used bright colours like the almost aqua French Blue and orange and black Autumn Glory.
If you want a walking sandal: The Plaid Classic Vans Sandal is perfect for the beach but comfortable enough for all-day use. This Vans sandal is made from ergonomic, premium suede, with a canvas strap that won’t pinch the toe. The midsole is material-wrapped, molded and contoured to support the arches, and the waffle design rubber outsole keeps your feet on the ground. It also looks really good: the blue and black or pink and black plaid design really stands out.

A New Vans Boot: The Hearty Buffalo Boot LX
Let’s take a break from the soft, feminine styles of summer and look at men’s shoes that are rugged and outdoorsy, perfect for a weekend of camping, hiking trip, or just strolling around the city. Vans has been bringing the best of both worlds to the shelves of Canadian shoe stores for years: they keep their classic skate shoes but also introduce new, unique styles each season for those who want something different.
Like we mentioned in an earlier post, boots are going to be big this summer season! Vans is the latest shoe company to release a boot – the Buffalo Boot LX. The Buffalo Boot LX is a rugged men’s boot, which was inspired by a number of different Vans styles like the Mountain Edition and the Half Cab.
The Vans Buffalo Boot looks like a hiking boot, made of a solid leather and suede combination, with the suede covering most of the lower half of the shoes, going all the way around the heel. The leather blends into the ankle and into the midpanel, bearing the Vans logo on the ankle. The final touch: the laces, a red and black combo shoelace that sits on a leather tongue and white outsole, with gold metal eyelets.
The men’s Buffalo Boot LX is from the Vans Vault line.
