In 2015, Supremes Jeff Kutter unveiled a surprise video project to the world simply titled Boys of Summer. The videos cast was a mash up of some of skateboardings most elite and influential pros, including legends like Mark Gonzales and newcomers like Kader Sylla. Named after Don Henleys 1984 hit, Boys of Summer is a reminder of what skateboarding is really aboutbeing creative and having fun. And this season, were teaming back up with Boys of Summer on a collaboration that resurrects some of Vans most iconic styles from the 90s. Just as Boys of Summer features found footage from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, the Boys of Summer Skate MC VCU was inspired by retro Vans skate silhouettes and upgraded to enable maximum progression. The repositioned DURACAP reinforced underlays and fully redesigned leather uppers, combined with a new two-part foxing tape that features a deeper knurl pattern on the toe, make the Boys of Summer Skate MC VCU durable enough to withstand daily skateboarding abuse. For more board control, the new molded heel counter and internal tongue straps lock in your feet. Even the gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been elevated with crystal rubber. Plus, POPCUSH energy return sockliners provide superior cushioning and impact protection while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. Internal heel stiffeners have also been added to provide more support and stability. With two full videos under their belt and a third on the horizon, its safe to say the Boys arent through having fun and that summer isnt going to end anytime soon. Boys of Summer is a true representation of skateboarding that transcends generations and brand affiliations. Were here for it.
