Professional Skateboarding legend and icon Tony Hawk will be joining Vans as its newest global ambassador.

In addition to promoting Vans as a global brand, Hawk will also produce an all-new professional vert skateboarding competition.

Vans has supported skateboarding since the very beginning, and never wavered in its commitment, even with massive mainstream success. I have always respected their integrity, so it is an honor to officially join forces and help continue to grow skateboarding culture in the most authentic way possible.
