Bella Kenworthy skating in the new Vans x Alva Collection

We have love anything Tony Alva puts out, starting with his skate decks back in the day. Now Vans has dropped a new collection of Vans x Alva Skate and we are stoked to see that it features shredder, and Vans team rider, Bella Kenworthy! Celebrating four decades of skateboarding, the new collection drops January 12th - so get ready, because we are sure these pieces will sell out quickly.

Tony Alva back in the day

Vans is proud to announce the latest collection with historically influential skate brand Alva Skates and longtime Vans team rider Tony Alva. The collection draws inspiration from Tony’s imaginative world of creative exploration that spans art, music and beyond, and invites fans and newcomers alike into his creative journey, on and off the board, over the past 40 years.

The new Alva x Vans colection

Breaking the mold for what a skateboarding company could be, Tony Alva walked away from his board sponsor in 1977 to create one of the most influential skate brands of his time, Alva Skates, just after helping Vans develop the first-ever skateboarding shoe, the Era. Synonymous ever since, Vans and Tony teamed up to create a new collection that nods to both brands’ roots and looks ahead to future generations with help from artist DJ Javier, Vans team rider Bella Kenworthy, and musician KennyHoopla.
