Ray Barbee’s First Pro Board came out 20 years ago… his influence helped fuel a revolutionary period in skateboarding’s growth and cultural development. To pay tribute to Ray’s 20 years of Professional skateboarding, Vans has reissued three of his (and mine) favorite shoes.

Each Shoe has been reproduced with period correct pattern work, construction, color, material, and packaging.

This is the closest thing you going to find to an original “made in U.S.A” Vans shoe. Just look at that toe! Slimmer and pointier, but not too pointy.
