RIDE UK's winners get some love in the new isssue but there's also a Dan Foley interview, No vaccinations travels in Vietnam article, you can win a Vans/wethepeople packag and Pete Sawyer gets interviewed for #185.

Vans has done a lot of collaborations with classic bands. But if there's one band that was missing, it's The Beatles. The theme of the shoes is based on the Yellow Submarine album and film and the artwork comes back in the shoe designs. The shoe models that were picked were the Sk8-Hi Reissue, Slip-On, Era, and Authentic, all classic kicks. The Sk8-Hi features artwork on each quarter panel featuring the Fab Four from the movie. The Classic Slip-On presents a fun take on the Sea of Monsters by showcasing a underwater scene across each
