Vans have completely redesigned the Skate Classic range with the skater in mind. To celebrate the release, we got the New Zealand team together to party, piñata-style. A smashing good time was had — literately.
To celebrate the launch of Vans Skate Classics, Vans New Zealand team riders & friends hit up the Public Library showroom to put the new Skate Authentic to the test. Featuring Kyle Svensen, Elijah Robertson, Ben Gibb, Mikey Gibson and Mike Bancroft.
The Skate Authentic Piñata was created by Brett Chan.
