Collaboration

The Vans x Mission Workshop collaboration combined Vans’ authentic skateboarding heritage with Mission Workshop’s expertise in creating weatherproof and durable goods. The resulting sneakers were the the most technical Vans’ had launched to date, incorporating touches like 3M reflective mesh and water-resistant leather. These were paired with the first modular backpack designed to support the needs of everyday skater, which was equipped with the Arkiv® modular rails and could carry any of the existing Arkiv® accessories.
