7x BMX World Champion Matthias Dandois adds His Signature Flair to Vans Old Skool Pro BMX
Recognized for legendary style and performance, the French freestyler infuses his personality and a pop of color into this classic with a first-ever BMX Wafflecup outsole. This holiday, Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, proudly drops a brand-new Matthias Dandois signature colorway in the Old Skool Pro BMX. The global team rider and seven-time world freestyle champion’s shoe-of-choice represents an upgraded Vans classic, enhanced for BMX-specific performance with a first-of-its-kind Wafflecup outsole meant to increase support and pedal feel.
The Matthias Dandois signature colorway adds a playful-yet-purposeful pop of color among an otherwise sea of black. Infusing his personality into the shoe, Matthias has added his custom “Dent-Doigt” (pronounced “daen-dwah,” like his namesake) heel graphic, which translates to “tooth-finger” in English.
A visual depiction comes to life on the custom UltraCush insole, all developed by Matthias’ tattoo artist and friend, who inked the rider’s original inspiration for the graphic: a tattoo on his right forearm.
Vans UltraCush HD sockliner delivers the highest level of impact cushioning, keeping the foot close to the pedal without packing out over time. The shoe is built with Vans Wafflecup BMX sole, the sport’s first-ever vulcanized cupsole, specifically designed to improve support without sacrificing grip and pedal-feel. The Old Skool Pro BMX is complete with Duracap, reinforcing high abrasion zones and prolonging
Matthias Dandois has been a part of the Vans BMX Family for 10 years and has podiumed at nearly every flatland competition he has ever entered. The winningest flatland World Champion celebrates the Old Skool Pro BMX Matthias Dandois edition with a minute in TIME.

This bangs! Back in August a bunch of the Tempered Goods team and friends split to Berlin, Germany for some good times. Needless to say with these guys, they got a ton of footage and things get real heavy towards the end. Featuring Jake Corless, Wilton Hedley, Raph Jeroma-Williams, Jerard Vandervalk, Mike Vockenson, Dylan Steinhardt, Marius Dietsche and mates.
Oscar and Montana got the first session of the winter in. We are going to build some new stuff to keep us busy this winter.
We're always out filming and hanging out, here's some footage that hasn't seen the light of day until now.
