Since 1979, Vans was among the first brands in the action sports industry to support the BMX sport across competitions, athlete sponsorships and the release of BMX-specific footwear. 40 years later, Vans continues to promote the BMX legacy with the release of the new Old Skool Pro BMX endorsed by Vans global BMX team rider Kevin Peraza. As the only BMX-specific shoe design in market to date, Vans’ Old Skool Pro BMX introduces a unique WaffleCup BMX technology, offering today’s BMXer’s the superior support of a cupsole without sacrificing any pedal feel, and paying crucial attention to flex, grip, durability, and additional support engineered within the midsole.

Highlighting Vans’ unrivaled support and durability in the new shoe, the brand’s “Feel Support’d” global campaign embraces the tone of a self-help support group led by Vans WaffleCup mascot Krispy Von Krunchworthy. Vans will play host to local “BMX Support Group” events around the world to further extend support for this beloved Vans community.

Built with a rigid ex-pattern, Vans Wafflecup BMX features a herringbone underlayer on the outsole that extends the life beneath Vans’ classic gum rubber compound. Fabricated in black and checkerboard suede and canvas uppers and his name emblazoned on the tongue, Kevin Peraza’s custom endorsed colorway of the Old Skool Pro BMX is the most progressive BMX shoe from Vans to date. Equipped with UltraCush HD footbeds and Duracap-reinforced uppers, this all-new Vans Pro Classic silhouette also features BMX-specific medial side support for extra crank and pedal protection.
