Vans Rowan Pro: Scoring the Track

Behind The Scenes

Vans Rowan Pro: Scoring the Track

by David Read

Posted 18 Feb 2020

Rowan, Sweeny and Theodore score more than new shoes.

Rowan’s skating is as musical it gets. Free-form, rhythmic and harmonious all at once. Vans invited Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Superwolf) and Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age, The Mars Volta) to react to Rowan’s skating in the studio. The result being the most unconvential band, and a bespoke score fit for Zorilla’s signature skating.

Discover the Rowan Pro. Make this a four-piece — grab a pair of Rowan Pros and add to the performance. Visit www.vans.com.au/rowan-pro
