NEW Vans Syndicate x Max Schaaf + Vans x Mike Giant Rebel 8

Vans Syndicate x Max Schaaf

Max Schaaf has been skateboarding ever since his indoor skatepark inside his hometown Oakland was without Gonz’s paintings on it.  So in other words, he’s been skateboarding for a minute and has been holding it down for vert skateboarding.  It’s so crazy that there are only a handful of vert skateboarders out there but the dope ones are not more than 5 (at least on my list).  Max Schaaf is one of my favorites ever since I saw him skate.  I remember his ad skateboarding on the dollar skateboard by Real.  It’s good to see him ride for the right company; Real. Spitfire, Four Star and Vans.  YES, Vans and I’ts even better to know that Vans acknowledges his talents and his amazing style.  Thank you Vans!  Not only is Vans sponsoring Max but this elite line called Syndicate comes out with his signature colorways from 2 of the most classic models; ERA and MOUNTAIN.  Words can describe the dope details on the shoes, photos speak louder than words.  Check out these photos.

Definitely good job on the collaboration.

OH yeah, he’s not only a talented skateboarder but also a mechanic, you know, those that fix dead motorcycles back to life.  Mad respect.  Which explains why this collaboration shoe also comes out with motorcycle handles.

Vans x Mike Giant Rebel 8

Vans collaborated again with the talented amazing artist/skateboarder Mike Giant.  He’s so dope, that Rebel 8 can instantly become an amazing brand.  Anything with Rebel 8 on it, just sells!

This time Mike picked a Slip On, Sk8 Hi and my all-time favorite Chukka Low.

Again, check out these detailed photos.  You’ll be amazed.  I got so excited, I’ll have to admit maybe I added too many images.

Now for the shameful plug: All these joints are only available at the finest skateboard shop in Hong Kong called 8FIVE2SHOP…YES, I said it!  www.8five2.com
