This style is made with plain white monochrome heavyweight canvas and all-white foxing, ensuring they’re 100% customizable. A literal blank canvas, each pair comes with a pack of coloured Sharpie pens to customise the shoes and a special edition shoe box unfolds to reveal stencils and a customisation guide. It goes without saying, the collection is also built to skate. Duracap under the canvas and external rubber ollie pads offer extra durability and POPCUSH footbeds and Sickstick rubber provide the best skate performance. They’re finished off with subtle tonal embroidered logo’s and terry towel cuff lining.
Friends since way back, Vans and Lovenskate have a long history of collaboration –including screen printing at events over the years, shared team riders and a joint love for customizing shoes and clothes. It was about time the relationship went from friends to lovers – and so the first official collaboration came to life. This spring, Vans and Lovenskate will launch a blank canvas collection that truly embodies the core ethos of creative expression that both brands continue to champion on and off the board.
