Vans and YT Industries announce shoe collaboration

  • Ron 

YT Industries is breaks fresh ground, dropping an all-new MTB-dosed collaboration with revered footwear giant Vans.

Led by their ethos to Live Uncaged, the co-branded collection cements their dedication to rise above the noise and do things their own way, drawing from both the new and shared influences Vans brings to the party for a team-up deep in street culture.

From its inception in ’07, YT had a mission – to put gravity-driven, performance products within reach of mountain bikers across the globe. With Vans, it takes its next step. BMX and MTB share close ties, and the Vans x YT Industries 114 highlights that. It’s built for the needs of the Vans BMX team, making it a match for heavy jump jams, bike park laps, and endless pump track sessions.

Beneath its casual silhouette, it packs the VANS WAFFLECUP™ BMX outsole, POPCUSH™ cushioning, and DURACAP™ underlays to supply the support, protection, and durability progressive riders demand. For beyond the bike, the collection includes a set of Vans x YT Industries La Costa sliders inspired by the brand’s mantra. The ultimate in convenience, this slip-on is set to upgrade your downtime and features a heritage, waffle-inspired outsole and an ULTRACUSH™ LITE footbed for plush, all-day cushioning. What’s a shoe launch without an edit – skate legend Steve Caballero features alongside YT Industries rider Erik Fedko and the team in this clash of worlds as they unleash this shoe to the global stage.
