This is Vans Snow. A clash of heritage and progression.

The Aura OG Checkerboard is a lightweight and responsive boot equipped to excel for all riders in all terrain. The speed and simplicity of its single-dial BOA Fit System makes precise, on-the-fly adjustability practically effortless, while the V1 Waffle Lug outsole and classic Sidestripe—not to mention our iconic checkerboard print—add original and unmistakable Vans style.
