Vans and Cult have joined forces once again on the Old Skool Pro BMX, inspired by both brands’ storied histories in BMX. Part of a new head-to-toe Vans x CULT collection, the Old Skool Pro BMX brings together CULT’s iconic graphic details and styling with one of Vans’ most classic silhouettes. Designed to perform at the level of shared team riders like Dakota Roche, Sean Richany, and Angie Marino, the shoe features Vans’ revolutionary WAFFLECUP BMX, a first-of-its-kind technology in BMX that delivers the best combination of support and durability without sacrificing pedal feel. Specifically designed and tested by and for BMXers, WAFFLECUP BMX features a herringbone underlayer that adds a second life beneath Vans’ classic gum rubber compound with a more rigid flex pattern, all reinforced like a tank.

In addition, best-in-class upgrades like PopCush technology —which snaps back and won’t pack, offering impact protection and custom energy return — and DURACAP reinforced underlays in high-wear areas, add unrivaled toughness to prolong the life of the shoe.

Vans x CULT Old Skool Pro BMX is offered in a black with a suede and canvas upper that features CULT’s signature graphics on the outsole, as well as overlaid across Vans Checkerboard on the tongue label.

The Old Skool Pro BMX is supported by a CULT Slip-On Pro in black, as well as an apparel collection led by the Versa Hoodie with water-repellant STORM COTTON technology, and a Vans x CULT BMX SS tee and snapback hat available in matching black and orange colorways with Vans x CULT logo and custom graphics.

Since its inception in 2010, CULT has made an immense impact on the BMX industry, amassing over half a million IG followers with its straightforward and streamlined bike frame designs and high-quality bike parts. CULT was founded in Santa Ana, California, and shares 11 team riders with close-by neighbor Vans, partnering on several bestselling collaborations.

The Vans x CULT Old Skool Pro BMX is available now at Vans retailers and Vans.eu/BMX.
