From AVE 2.0 to OTW By Vans, Vans Celebrates the Culture of Skateboarding
Last Friday, the week-long Vans-Paris takeover culminated in a party that harnessed the energy of Paris Fashion Week, of Go Skateboarding Day and the Fete de la Musique united.
At the beginning of last week, Vans held a skate jam in honor of the skateboarding pioneer Anthony Van Engelen and its significance for the development of shoe design with the release of AVE 2.0.
This was followed by the opening of the exhibition last Wednesday “Skate Photography Exhibition” of Atiba Jefferson, the curator of the Vans brand and legendary photographer, in collaboration with Architecture c/o Virgil Abloh.
Ending with OTW by Vans Checkered Future, these moments set the stage for a new storytelling approach launching this July.
