The collection
At the heart of the Vans Snow x Parker Szumowski collection is the feature-rich Verse boot. This hybrid boot, suitable for both terrain park and backcountry, boasts Vans Snow’s best technology: from the UltraCush liner that incorporates The North Face’s FlashDry technology to the V3 Waffle Superenduro outsole with a low-temperature rubber blend that provides maximum traction both with and without bindings. All of this, , never to be missed, secured by a Boa fit system.
In addition to the Verse boot, the collection also offers off-board silhouettes, both classic and futuristic. The first is a Standard Zip Snow MTE boot with thermal felt lining and waterproof construction, while the second is a reinterpretation of the Skate Bold from Vans Skateboarding designed for when you hit the streets. Each pair features Parker’s custom skull logo and red punk-inspired graphics.
