The collaboration between VANS and Hockey sees the return of a skate classic with a fresh twist: the AVE Classic combines modern skate technology and premium materials with the raw aesthetic that defines Hockey. It is more than just a nostalgic comeback—built to skate and made to last.
For the campaign, Vans is collaborating with Benny Maglinao, the founder and creative force behind Hockey. The partnership is rooted in a shared history and connections among influential riders in the skate scene. Anthony Van Engelen, Andrew Allen, Diego Todd, and Ben Kadow embody the close bond between Vans and Hockey, representing the shared ethos of both brands.
Available in White and Forest Green, the AVE Classic combines technical performance with a clean, timeless look. Designed to withstand wear and tear during long skate sessions, it offers reliable support, control, and comfort. Pleasant cushioning and the signature waffle sole ensure a secure and comfortable feel, while the insole—featuring custom Hockey artwork—highlights the classic’s distinctive character.
