B-SIDES - Lewis Mills Vans 'LewShoe' by Ben Norris

Vans BMX presents “LewShoe” starring Lewis Mills. Lew’s vision to capture and share a slice of his everyday life in Melbourne, Australia. From painting for hours on end in his St Kilda home-studio to pedaling through the city, popping manuals between cars and trams, Lew's riding creativity, raw power and technical spot use is a breath of fresh air throughout the urban landscape.

Vans BMX team rider Lewis Mills sees art in everything he does, and that mindset makes him the perfect candidate to introduce Vans’ brand-new BMX Peak silhouette — a progressive style that honors Vans’ BMX heritage while keeping an eye firmly fixed on its future as well. The “Lewshoe,” as Mills has dubbed his unique iteration of the new sneaker, is an extension of his own multihyphenate nature.

On his bike, Mills is known for his unique style in street BMX, combining technical proficiency and power to great results: an X Games silver medal at 20, a gold in 2022, and NORA Cup Video Part of the Year honors. To live up to these standards, Mills’ BMX Peak features a new ULTIMATEWAFFLE™ midsole, featuring a full-length molded design for cushioning and comfort that doesn’t sacrifice pedal feel, outsoles with a VDFPR (Van Doren Factory Pedal Recipe) rubber compound specifically formulated to enhance pedal grip and durability and a seamless, hot spot-free upper that makes use of Vans BMX’s comfy LUXLINER™ technology on its tongue and lining.

Off his bike, Mills is an accomplished painter who’s headlined gallery shows and received
