Here are some news that probably surprise no one who knows their way around skateboarding: Finnish-American pro skater Lizzie Armanto gets her own signature (and very purple) colorway – on two of Vans’ most popular models, the Sk8-Hi Pro and the Slip-On Pro. The Santa Monica local has won more prizes than you can poke a stick at, and has even made an appearance in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. In addition, she is the first female skateboarder to clear The Loop. In other words, Armanto is really fucking good at skateboarding, a fact honored by her sponsor with this capsule collection. The Slip-On and Sk8-Hi both release as Pro variants, giving you all that jazzy tech Vans has to offer, including UltraCush HD insoles and the fan favorite Pro Classic Waffle sole. Also, the Slip-On features a ollie pad. You can buy Lizzie Armanto’s signature colorways at our web shop and at our store in Frankfurt.
