Hamburg, Germany is an unlikely origin for a professional snowboarder. It has little annual snowfall and is a day’s journey to where it accumulates, but Benny Urban did not let geographical location stop him from using his formative years to develop the skills and, perhaps most importantly, the perspective that he now employs as an everyday pro. It’s the city where Urban laid the foundation for his career. From Japan to Canada, the United States, or Russia, he is in perpetual motion, hunting handrails and concrete to satisfy his desire to always make his next video part his best performance yet.

Benny is one of Europe’s most admired and emulated street riders, and his smooth style extends beyond the board. To cover all those moments in-between rides, we teamed up to release the Standard Mid Snow MTE x Benny Urban. Practical, packable, and wear-at-the-bar-able, this downsized version of Vans’ best-selling Standard Snow MTE snow boot has all the waterproofing, insulation, and traction you need to make every day your best. With leather and synthetic uppers featuring Benny’s signature design, classic style and day-to-day winter weather footwear have finally converged.

Born in Anaheim, California in 1966, the Authentic is the original Vans heritage style. Originally know as Vans #44 Deck Shoes, the Authentic became an immediate cult icon, and has embodied our “Off The Wall” attitude ever since. Constructed with a simple low top, lace-up profile, this classic shoe also features sturdy canvas uppers, metal eyelets, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.

Lizzie Armanto is the only woman with her name currently on a signature skateboarding shoe-but she didn’t set out to make a women’s skate shoe. Instead, she wanted to provide something else entirely for a wider range of skateboarders whose needs were not being met. So when we set out to create Lizzie’s first signature skateboarding shoe, we listened closely to her and what she needed to progress. The result is our most inclusive shoe to date.

The Vans Authentic Black is simplicity at its finest. Although Vans like to play with color and prints, sometimes the best shoes are plain and practical. This style has the usual metal eyelets, waffle sole and durable canvas upper and features a rich solid color fabric. Not everything needs to be a wild statement and the simple statements are often the most powerful.
