AVE’s New Shoe: Vans in NYC
7/02/2019
In celebration of AVE’s new shoe, the Vans crew came to New York for some city pushing and partying in the summer heat. We started the day at Tompkins Square Park, pushing down through the Lower East Side and over the bridge into Williamsburg, ending the day at Saint Vitus bar with drinks and live music. I followed along and captured the day while also taking the time to brush up on my skills and relearn the fundamentals of photography. –Jared Sherbert
These guys decided to take over my room first thing in the morning
My first look at AVE’s shoe. Tech, yet classic
Headed over to the greatest city on the planet…
…to skate the hottest park on the planet
Beatrice made it
In the white joints
Diego’s breakfast
Justin showed up with a real New York breakfast
What up, Eli?
AVE and Eli taking their time before stepping out in the in sun
Hmm… I think I’ll just watch
Diego setting off the can session
Justin goes straight to switch game. I’m still learning how to shoot skateboarding
Did you get the photo?
AVE, melting the can
Johnny gettin’ a piece
I’ll take two, please
Professional skateboarder, Ben Kadow
Sliding right in. I think I’m getting it down now
These things are really light and comfy
On to the next spot
The ol’ pushing down a city street vibe
New York AVE
I think he figured out what everyone eats here
Gio sets it off with a little crookie
Andrew surfing off the end
Alright, boys, no skateboarding on the basketball courts
I had respect for officer DeJESUS, until…
…he told AVE, “No eating sandwiches on the basketball court.” That didn’t go over well
“Alright, guys, come on. He told you, ‘No eating sandwiches on the basketball court’”
Can we eat basketballs on the basketball court?
Beatrice has a mean jump shot. I think it’s the shoes
We out
Over the bridge we go
Andrew loves NY
Wear this shoe, get SOTY powers…
…and look this good
Frank got a piece, pop shove tailgrab
And then we shot the cover for his rap album
Ol’ Dirty Beatrice
Berle gettin’ a little back lippy action
They look real nice worn in
Andrew and I wen’t on a rogue chicken-and-waffle mission
And then we walked through that door
Greeted by the strength—don’t cross these two
Professional skateboarder Ben Kadow by day, professional DJ Ben K by night
Demand it
Let’s start the show
CANDY!

Lettin’ loose after a big day on Wall Street

Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson walk into a bar
Packed house
The DJ and his posse
Wait, it’s an open bar?
Fuck, here we go
Bar style
Here for a good time
Who dis?
This Bud’s for you.
The headliner, Quicksand

These guys rip
Their newest fan
Thanks, Vans, for a great day of skating and music in the Big Apple! And congrats, AVE, on the new kicks!

Slashers' "5 Mile Grind" Skate Art Video
Many music videos have incorporated skating. No big deal. But the band Slashers and the artist Dylan Goldberger combined forces for a truly psycho skate trip. This blend is so complete that it's tough to spot any divisions between skating, music, and art. -
