Vans Partners with Skateboard Brand Hockey for a Rebellious, Gritty, and Raw Fall 2023 Collection

Press Release
Press Release September 22, 2023
The collection features all new takes on the Skate Old Skool and the Skate Authentic Hi.

Vans, the original action sports brand and advocate for creative expression, announced a new collaboration with skateboard brand Hockey for a collection that features a unique combination of grit, attention to detail, and a raw, no-frills approach.

Since first working together in 2018, Vans Skateboarding and Hockey have established a singular aesthetic of their own across their range of collaborative footwear, and now they’re continuing that relationship with a trio of releases: fresh iterations of the Skate Old Skool and Skate Authentic Hi.

With this collaboration, Hockey brings a necessary rebellious edge to modern skateboard culture. This attitude and ethos are reflected in everything from the brand’s bold, high-saturation designs to its heavy hitting skate clips, and, of course, its sneaker collaborations.

The Skate Old Skool boasts a black and gum color scheme with slithering snake skin embellishments and bold red block letter Hockey hits.

The Skate Old Skool retails at P6,998 and is available at Vans Greenbelt 3, Glorietta 3, SM Megamall, Ayala Cebu, Trinoma, Festival Mall, SM North Edsa, Robinsons Ermita, Alabang Town Center, and UP Town Center.

The Skate Authentic Hi returns in a brown canvas colorway. An Authentic lengthened into a unique high-top, Andrew Allen’s familiar sneaker boasts a Hockey hit on its collar and comes in a custom box (like the others) that nods to his beloved dog Ronnie, as well as a new snakeskin-printed liner. 

The Skate Authentic Hi retails at P7,998 and retails at Greenbelt 3, Glorietta 3, SM Megamall, and Ayala Cebu.

It’s not just aesthetics here either — that wouldn’t be the Hockey way. To meet the no-holds-barred skate style of the Hockey team, the styles are packed full of Vans Skateboarding’s very best tech. PopCush™ insoles provide enhanced comfort and energy return with a tireless foam compound that maintains its shape session after session, while Duracap reinforcements hold up to the wear and tear of even the most labor-intensive flip tricks and SickStick™ rubber outsoles provide all-conditions grip and stability.
