A creative Vans pop-up was held at the Bushwick warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. The launch event paid tribute to the footwear label's latest innovation — the ComfyCush Era. This is a "brand new technology that utilizes comfort-based tech to deliver the plushest ride yet." For people that are a part of the skateboarding community, this is great news.
