Pawnshop, Geoff Rowley and Vans have a special collaboration in the works that is bound to get any skateboarder fired up. They recently hopped on Instagram to share a sneak peak of their new Rowley colorway and at first glance, the shoes look incredibly sick. This is major! Take a look:
"Believe it or not this is real—Geoff Rowley x Vans x Pawnshop. The Rowley. We know our town has a ton of stories and history with this shoe… It’s time to make some new ones with the wing & wheel embroidered on the back of one of the most iconic skate shoes ever," Pawnshop wrote on Instagram. "The works almost done and this is the road crew that put in the hours. Thank you Vans Skateboarding. Release info soon."
Rowley was in the comments of the post saying, "Thanks for the solid session. I needed it. Great store since forever!" Real recognize real and Pawnshop is as real as it gets. Glad to know that Geoff and the Pawn squad went out there and put the shoes to the test the right way.
As far as the branding, the subtle little wing and wheel hit on the heel is such a perfect touch. Doesn't matter if your a Pawnshop local or living on the other side of the country—these shoes are for skateboarders, by skateboarders. And let's be real...they just look sick!
While I don't know when the shoes will actually be available, you can bet I'll keep my eyes peeled for more info. Shoutout to Pawnshop, Rowley and Vans for coming together and making something so rad. Great colorway. Great people. I have to imagine these things will be flying off the shelves. Get ready!
