The Vans Syndicate 10-year legacy is topped off Nov. 14 with the final anniversary release presented by longtime collaborators WTAPS. With nearly a decade’s worth of projects in Vault by Vans and Vans Syndicate lines to date, the premium Japanese menswear label brings artful craftsmanship and sophistication to the Authentic “S” model. As part of the first-ever WTAPS Syndicate project and originally for Japan distribution only, the striking tonal yellow Authentic “S” inspires WTAPS vision for this reissue, presenting a rich mustard hue from collar to sole, balanced by a subtle repeated WTAPS “Wings” print on the canvas panel. Designed with soft suede and canvas uppers, the Authentic “S” makes its final statement with a bold yellow gum foxing tape and complimentary printed WTAPS “Wings” laces to complete the pair.
The Vans Syndicate WTAPS Authentic "S” launches worldwide in-store on Saturday, November 14 exclusively at participating

What was your best race result in 2015?
Kyle Evans: Not too sure really, we do that many races throughout the year I lose track. It was great to head out to Prague for a couple of C1 events, a place I have never raced or been to before and came away with a couple of 2nds behind LP so that race seem to be a good memory for this season.
Who do you think kicked ass in the Elite Men class this year?
Kyle Evans: Easy... Niek Kimmann ... Nothing more needs to be said.
Who impressed you most in the Elite Women class?
Kyle Evans: Stefany Hernandez, great watching her determination
