Vans Skate Berle Pro - UK Release

  Now we've been #BigFansOfHisWork for a while (see our Black Sheep Store instagram for hashtag reference) so to see the Vans Skate Berle Pro come to fruition is extremely welcomed.    Elijah Berle's Vans history dates back to 2012. In this year Berle's all out attack gained him number one spot at Tampa AM along with Transworld, Skateboarder and The Skateboard Mag covers. Plus topping the boom year out with TSM's 'Year Best AM' award. Since the initial onslaught Berle established himself firmly on the ever dope Chocolate Skateboards team. Then proceeding to knock out one hell of a memorable part for 'Pretty Sweet.'    vans-skate-berle-pro-shoes   Moving on from Berle's first introduction to the skate scene, his much anticipated debut Vans part "No Other Way" did not disappoint. Initially gaining coverage through the Vans Skate Instagram and social media platforms the below Thrasher Magazine "Raw Files" shows what a serious powerhouse Elijah Berle has become.     Following on from Elijah's long term sponsorship with Chocolate Skateboards he departed ways for the new kids on the block. Welcoming Berle with open arms Jason Dill and Vans riders Anthony Van Engelen invited the style master to join the elite Fucking Awesome Skateboards team. Known for the diverse mix of riders with an emphasise on raw skateboarding Elijah became the perfect fit with a much deserved pro model following soon after. All this whilst working towards his next Vans Skate part in the form of the highly regarded "Propeller" video. Tirelessly filmed and edited by Greg Hunt this section cemented Elijah's professional status. Featuring a heavy mix of transition skateboarding and true veteran style street skating this became to go to video part for all round pre-skate hype.   Enjoy the "Propeller Raw Files" below courtesy again of Thrasher Magazine.   So with the short background above of Elijah Berle and his ever so sweet history with Vans Skate Shoes. It's no wonder after the unquestionable ridiculous footage from the past few years Vans have done the right thing and let Elijah design his own Pro skate shoes from the ground up.   Utilising the newly produced Vans "Wafflecup" along with input from Elijah all the way. The new Vans Skate Berle Pro silhouette is designed with the mantra "Less Is More." To explain this further the idea behind a skate shoe with no foot-bed inserts is purely to achieve the all important board feel. To make this happen without compromising the impact protection and day to day comfort Vans Pro Skate have incorperated the much loved "Wafflecup" construction along with the comfort enhancing LUXliners. Without getting to technical on the makeup of Berle's first ever Vans Pro shoes it basically fits like a (foot?) glove and protects as a Cupsole does.   Also as standard from all Vans Pro Skate, Berle's shoe features the Vans Duracap under layer upper reinforcement along with the longer lasting Vans Original Waffle sole compound.   The global release date (including the UK) for the Vans Berle Pro is set for Saturday February 9th 2019. Vans always come correct with delivery of product and we're 100% guaranteed of receiving all available colour-ways for release day.   vans-berle-pro-skate-shoes     In the interim take a good hard luck above at the Vans Skate Berle Pro skate shoes and expect some heavy release footage/photos and general hype from the Vans Skate Instagram     As you'd expect Elijah's been running the samples for a little while and put out teaser pictures of what's to come from his debut Vans Pro Skate Shoe.
