VANS: SYNDICATE BASH VULC x CHRISTIAN HOSOI

On Monday night newly Vans Syndicate inductees, the Baitshop in Toronto hosted the Vans Syndicate Launch party. We were fortunate enough to be invited for music, drinks & a ramp contest. In the video, Marc Bajcar a 10 year Vans vet does a crazy 25ft drop in off the railing! So rad! Haha. Big thanks to Five & Dime & crew, Stu, Jay & Bobby of Vans plus all the cats from the Baitshop! These guys are legit, so if you're in Toronto (or heading there at any point) pop in and check out the shop. Peep Baitshop's website here.


VANS: SYNDICATE BASH VULC x CHRISTIAN HOSOI

After a success in his skateboarding career as one of the top competitors of vertical riding, Christian Hosoi is back on the street, not literally himself on skateboard but a pair of kicks that bears his name. Vans proudly designed a Hosoi tribute sneaker using the Bash model with Hosoi’s legacy inspiring the concept.

A mid top shoe known to be the Bash is an exclusive Vans icon that represents Christian Hosoi’s early career as he excelled in the sport. This silhouette is smart enough to convey what Hosoi has achieved as a professional in the skateboarding field. By utilizing plain and textured premium leather on the upper, this shoe has quilted side panels with detailed perforations. The solid toe box is paired up with suede toe cap and smart vertical lace system. Off The Wall logo appears on the tongue with Vans tab near the ankle. White vulcanized rubber sole with black pinstripe complements the seamless upper.

Available now at the baitshop.
