Vans x Cult BMX Slip-on Shoes
Vans and CULT, two BMX industry leaders, reunite for the sixth time this season to create a footwear and apparel capsule designed to showcase the creative lifestyle behind BMX. Highlighting CULT’s signature hand-drawn illustrations in a classic black-and-white color scheme, the Vans x CULT collaboration delivers new renditions of Vans core staples to commemorate a longtime partnership between two like-minded BMX brands.
Founded in 2010 by BMX legend Robbie Morales in Santa Ana, California, CULT is best known for their straight-forward, streamlined bike frame designs and high-quality bike parts. This same subtle design aesthetic can be seen on the Vans x CULT Slip-On BMX-a Pro Classic silhouette that’s been upgraded to withstand the maximum performance needs of today’s most talented BMXers.
The iconic DURACAP™-reinforced suede and canvas uppers keep the design durable, while the embroidered heel details and custom screened logos add a unique vibe to this heritage slip-on shoe. Along with removable UltraCush HD sockliners and Vans original waffle outsoles made of a rubber that offers grip and support, the Vans x CULT Slip-On BMX brings an elevated look to a legendary silhouette.

VANS ORIGINAL WAFFLE Outsole
Back in ’66, Paul Van Doren made the first soles of his new shoes twice as thick so they would wear longer and, unlike other shoe manufacturers, he used pure crepe rubber with no filler. That decision ended up defining Vans’ legacy when the world’s first skateboarders discovered how Vans’ now-LEGENDARY ORIGINAL WAFFLE outsole gum rubber compound provided superior board CONTROL and let them feel their board while staying firmly connected to it.
