Vans presents the Old Skool BMX by Vans athlete Courage Adams. Incorporating elevated materials and Courage’s custom artwork, the Old Skool BMX comes to life with a design inspired by Courage’s Nigerian roots, symbolising balance and patience – principles at the core of his riding.



Having made a name for himself in BMX and seeking a more elevated spin on BMX footwear, Courage worked with Vans to create his signature take on the Old Skool BMX, featuring WaffleCup construction for maximum pedal feel, support, and durability. Courage’s custom elephant “scales” logo appears across the translucent rubber outsole, insole, and is debossed on the heel. His custom elephant print is also featured prominently on the shoe’s quarter panels.

Vans Courage Adams Old Skool BMX Standout Features:

For Courage, the collection represents the effort and dedication he’s put in to get to where he’s at today, as well as his hopes and motivation for the future.
“Since I started riding, I never thought I’d get the opportunity to have a full collection with Vans. I’m so proud to see one of my dreams become reality, and it gives me energy to continue working hard and moving forward.”
