The vulcanized outsole and gum-colored WaffleGrip tread is a direct tie back to Vans heritage, while the sockliner artwork is a CVLT original that ties back to the CVLT attitude. Both shoes are lined with a 6oz. canvas in hunter orange from the CVLT color palette and feature our Megathane midsole to keep both styles comfortable all day long, as well as prevent heel bruising while riding.

Simple, clean, and raw was the end goal for this collection. Keeping with the fresh approach that CVLT has taken within the BMX industry to deliver silmple and classic looking, raw finished goods with subtle features and benefits that keep them modern; we wanted to apply the same design philosophy to this collaboration. We've chosen two footwear styles that include the performance features needed for riding, but also represent today's casual styling that work well off the bike. Both shoes are wrapped in high-end black leather and use a waxed textile on accent panels for a rich look and feel. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
