Vans Syndicate 2008 Product & Exhibition Recap

Vans Syndicate decided to kick off their newest collection with a bang. Along with the free Pabst Blue Ribbon and superb appetizers came an extraordinary exhibition, celebrating the past and future of Vans highest quality offerings. Held at ONSIX Gallery in San Francisco, it was a full house with many locals in the industry on hand, showcasing timeless art and photography. Included was the legendary Steve Olsen, Bay Area natives Max Schaff and Gabe Morford, John Cardiel and amazing work of tattoo artist Grime. Despite all the hype that goes along with many of these individuals, they were all very humble and down to earth. As an added bonus, books featuring all the artwork showcased as well as the entire Syndicate line history were given out to Media and VIP invitees.
