Vans has just announced the release of the Sam Partaix Pro Model shoe: Sam Partaix is the first French to sign a Vans “Pro Model”. For its first model, Sam chose to highlight his two passions, photography and tattoo. Vans Slip-On Pro, his favorite model formalizes its membership of the Vans skate team Europe. His pair of shoes dresses influences that make up his life day after day: mix of his own tattoos and clichés that he brought from his travels on his skateboard. The Slip-On Pro combines the iconic Vans canvas to the famous UltraCush HD sole acclaimed by the team, not forgetting the resistance offered by the tip of the stem reinforced with Duracap and the authentic Waffle outsole that ensures excellence in the field of grip and contact with the board. Sam’s Slip-On Pro is joined by the Vans’ staple Custom Fit tee, with a photographic print of Sam’s work across the chest, complementing the shoe. Sam Partaix’s Slip-On Pro and T-Shirt is available fexclusively now at Paris’s Nozbone skateshop and will be available from all awesome skate shops including Vans online store from April 18th.
