Their videos started a movement in skateboarding, influencing skaters through fashion, tricks, music and attitude. Now, Vans is paying tribute to Shake Junt and the iconic mark the brand has made on skateboarding with a new collection, influenced by shared team riders Kader Sylla, Dustin Dolllin, Rowan Zorilla, and Kyle Walker.
Flashy, irreverent, and truly “Off The Wall,” Shake Junt has built a crew of loyal skaters throughout its 12-year history by being inclusive, positive, and creating content that is “by the homies, for the homies.” Available globally in August, the Vans x Shake Junt collection features an exclusive new colorway for the Kyle Pro 2, Old Skool Pro, Slip-On Pro and Era Pro, plus a range of apparel pieces.
Leading the collection is the new Kyle Walker Pro 2 in forest/gold, packed with tech features for high impact skateboarding, including WaffleCup for boardfeel and support, PopCush for cushioning, and Duracap for added durability. Shake Junt’s DNA shines through in the money-green suede uppers and gold Sidestripe.
The Old Skool Pro in black/white showcases a string of 3D glowing lights along the Sidestripe, Shake Junt’s signature green/gold trims and details throughout, and custom “Get Buck!” eyelets. The Slip-On Pro in black/gold features metallic gold leather in the quarter, a black/gold heel scab, and an embossed “Shake Junt” on the sole. The Era Pro in black/white rounds out the footwear offering, serving up a classic Shake Junt print.
The namesake print, which combines Shake Junt’s DNA in a green, yellow and gold palette, carries over with a crew sock, bucket hat, Versa Standard PO hoodie in black, Ward crossbody pack in black, LS T-shirt in black and lemon chrome, and SS T-shirt in black, white and pine needle colorways.
The Vans x Shake Junt collection is available in August globally at authorized Vans Skate retailers and Vans.com/skate.
