Scene Setting
Under the muted glow of a streetlamp, the Vans x 2 Riser Pads Skate Old Skool Ghillie Navy/White rests on a curb, its navy shell quietly plotting its future scuffs.
Product Description
A collaboration between Vans Skateboarding and the mischief-makers at 2 Riser Pads, this Skate Old Skool Ghillie in Navy/White feels like something a semi-retired skate legend would lace up before teaching the neighbourhood kids how to land their first shove-it.
The leather upper arrives in a deep navy that’s destined to tell on you: with time, abrasion, and honest grip-tape romance, the navy rubber foxing gradually reveals its white underlayer. A quiet badge of honour for those who actually skate—and an amusing dilemma for anyone who just wanted the look.
A ghillie-style lacing system keeps your laces tucked out of harm’s way, shielding them from griptape’s eternal hunger. The tongue carries the 2 Riser Pad logo, like a cameo appearance in a strange, deadpan skate film set in a half-empty parking lot at golden hour. Beneath the foot, Vans’ PopCush insole adds plush impact protection while the classic vulcanized sole keeps boardfeel sharp and dependable.
