TNT Advance Prototype: Wear Test

by Manual Magazine

Posted 13 Sep 2018

How do you really see if a shoe is as good as they say? You gotta put it to work.

That’s exactly what went down at a Vans pop-up skatepark last weekend – complete with kickers and a car to leap over. Those up for the challenge took turns at channelling their inner Tony Trujillo throughout the day, all in the name of testing the new TNT Advanced Prototype. Watch the clip and see the photos below for the full wrap up.

Try out the Vans TNT Advanced Prototype for yourself, right here.
