Vans celebrate BMX culture and the BMX 40th Anniversary with a new capsule collection designed with a bright color palette to garner attention. The brand supported the exciting sport since 1979 and the range features a selection of apparel and accessory designs that are influenced by BMX shapes.

The signature Era and Sk8-Hi sneaker models are adorned in graphic details alongside the women's and men's apparel designs. The clothing arrives in unisex designs and the footwear is constructed from a blend of suede and canvas materials in three colorways of green, navy blue, and white.
