VANS and Hockey have prepared two pairs of signature shoes for Andrew Allen AKA AA. This collection will be in Authentic HI silhouette in two new colorways. As AA first debut with Authentic Hi in April 2020, VANS HAS been formed a sophisticated skateboarding tech that boasts Allen on-board performance.

Crafted in classic canvas, the upper provides a better fit and feel. And yeah, this release is coming off in Bright Red and Crips White color. Underneath the canvas stitches, lays out a Duracap which is built to withstand the effect of skateboard’s griptapes. And as usual, an ollie’s pad is placed on the lateral forefoot.

The outlook is simply created with an embroidered Hockey’s signature rabid dog on each side of the lateral collar. Allen’s name is also carved in the inner collar of the shoes. With a shattered heel tab at the rear, these shoes are built solid. The VANS checkerboard tag is presented in the mid-foot stitch. As VANS invented a durability tech, this collection guarantees the skater a great grip and pop-cush footbeds return energy without bottoming out.
