Vans Vault Ray Barbee 20th Anniversary Reissue Pack
by L.A. Ruano, October 30, 2009
Ray Barbee’s first professional skateboard graphic debuted 20 years ago, with his influence and attitude having 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 favorite shoes in the Holiday Vault Collection. Styles include the Chukka Boot ‘95 Reissue LX, the Era ‘87 Reissue LX, and the Old Skool ‘92 Reissue LX. Each shoe has been reproduced with period correct pattern work, construction, color, material, details and packaging. A release can be expected this month at select Vans Vault retailers.

Included in the pack are the Chukka Boot ‘95 Reissue LX, the Era ‘87 Reissue LX, and the Old Skool ‘92 Reissue LX.
