“Vans: Off the Wall illustrates through vivid photography and a compelling oral history how a casual canvas shoe and a do-it-yourself spirit have helped turn pop culture inside out.” So says the product description on Amazon for the upcoming book release from Vans. For anyone who has any interest in skate history, or at least the footwear, this book should be worth a look. I do, however, find it funny that book costs less than a pair of authentics, and will no doubt last longer.
