Vans × Independent Truck Co.

Two respected leaders in skateboarding, Vans and Independent Truck Co., join forces for the latest installment of their collaboration series.

The new Vans x Independent collection brings to life an extensive footwear and apparel collection that combines Vans’ emblematic checkerboard motif with Independent’s distinguished cross logo in celebration of Independent’s 40th anniversary.

Each footwear style embodies the look and feel of a classic Independent truck, with metallic silver foxing stripes and rubber outsoles that exactly match the signature translucent and glossy orange hue that is unique to Indy bushings. 

The footwear offering blends functionality with style, providing fans of the partnership a full skate performance feature set. Each Vans x Independent footwear style employs Vans’ proven technology, offering durability and support through the integration of UltraCush™ HD and UltraCush™ Lite 3D footbeds for heavy impact protection, Duracap-reinforced uppers for durability, and Vans’ original waffle outsoles for the best boardfeel in the business

With a legacy growing since 1978, Independent remains one of the largest and most trusted skate truck companies in the world. Vans and Independent have supported a strong lineage of talent, sharing a roster of 19 professional skateboarders on the Vans global skate team.
