Stabio, SWITZERLAND. (April 30 2024) – When he’s not on his board, Vans skater Axel Cruysberghs is either on his bike or he’s hiking the mountains of Southern California where he lives with his wife and fellow Vans skater, Lizzie Armanto and their dog, Alma. So for his first colourway, it was a no-brainer for Axel to want to combine skateboarding and his love for outdoor culture into his unique take on the Skate Old Skool Sport.

With nods to 90’s hiking and outdoor colour palettes, Axel’s Skate Old Skool Sport is a vulcanized shoe made with hairy suede and textile uppers. Hues of pine green, with pops of pink and purple make this shoe stand out wherever you take it. Featuring performance benefits including DURACAP™ reinforced materials, PopCush™ cushioning and fully redesigned uppers; reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control.

To coincide with the launch of his first colourway, Axel has dropped a new video with family and friends including Lizzie Armanto and his Vans Europe teammates including Willow Voges Fernandes, Notis Aggelis and Joseph Biais. Filmed by Max Pack, edited by Paul Labadie and with photos by Dave Van Laere, the video is live now over on Free Skate Mag.

The Vans Skate Old Skool Sport (Axel Cruysberghs) is available now globally online at Vans.eu and at select Vans Skateboarding accounts. For more information, visit vans.eu/skateboarding.
