The Vans Skate x Los Angeles-based artist\/illustrator and skateboarder Mike Gigliotti to design a new footwear and apparel collection that\u00a0applies a gritty, skate-inspired aesthetic to a beloved classic: Nickelodeon\u2019s SpongeBob SquarePants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vans x SpongeBob x Mike Gigliotti Collection is centered around a black and yellow palette, led by Vans Skate Slip-On, Skate Old Skool and Skate Sk8-Hi. Gigliotti\u2019s legendary drawing style is evident across all three silhouettes. Rather than re-drawing SpongeBob, Gigliotti maintained the original character while adding his own art and doodles to a newly created underwater world of skateboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection features Gigliotti\u2019s drawings across the quarter panels of the Skate Sk8-Hi and Skate Old Skool, as well as the toe vamp and heel counter of the Skate Slip-On. Other details include a barbed wire and chain stretch across the Old Skool\u2019s Sidestripe and the Sk8-Hi\u2019s sidewall. Built extra tough, Vans Skate Classics feature Duracap for added flexibility and reduced hot spots, resulting in an essential fit for maximum durability where skaters need it most. Vans\u2019 best-in-class PopCush energy-return footbeds snap back and won\u2019t pack out, keeping legs feeling fresh to skate longer. Two-part foxing features a heavier knurl texture on toe bumpers, increasing durability and grip and nodding to a heritage look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
