Skateboarding Heritage-Inspired Capsules

Vans Skateboarding and Spitfire Wheels Join Forces

The collaboration between Vans Skateboarding and Spitfire Wheels marks a celebration of the brands' shared heritage in skateboarding culture. The launch presents a robust capsule collection comprising stylish and sleek footwear and apparel that was designed to withstand the rigors of skateboarding.

The skateboarding heritage-inspire capsule features three collaborative footwear styles, including the Rowan 2—this model pays homage to Vans Skateboarding and Spitfire Wheels team rider Rowan Zorilla. The silhouette boasts ImpactWaffle™ cushioning for enhanced performance and durability. Other footwear designs include reimagined Skate SK8 Hi Reissue and Skate Old Skool. Both incorporate PopCush™ cushioning for maximum energy return. Each pair is crafted with Duracap™ and SickStick™ rubbers for durability and grip, alongside water-resistant treatments and robust, outdoor-inspired constructions.

Complementing the footwear range is a selection of genderless apparel, including hoodies, short-sleeve button-ups, and a signature packable vest, all featuring co-branded detailing.
