Vans Releases Sensory-Inclusive Collection To Promote Autism Awareness

Vans have dropped their new dope collection in collaboration with the non-profit organization, A.Skate Foundation. The sensory-inclusive, sneaker collection is being released to promote autism awareness. Alongside the sneaker collection, Vans has also introduced t-shirt designs benefiting the foundation. A.Skate Foundation is a non-profit organization whose goal is to introduce and encourage autistic children to skateboard. 

The sneaker collection consists of 3 killer designs. The ComfyCush Old Skool has blue suede uppers, with a checkerboard top adorned with red velvet hearts and there is a special message on the back of the heel. The Vans ComfyCush Slip-On PT has been outfitted with a soft, grey, cool-toned, check upper and a heel pull for an easy slip-on. Finally, the second ComfyCush Slip-On PT focuses on a holographic water print on the upper and sidewalls. The designs of the sensory-inclusive collection have been made in association with the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards for all-day comfort in all ages. 

With this collection, Vans are looking to donate a minimum of $100,000 of its proceed to the A.Skate foundation who will use the proceeds to teach young, autistic children to skate at no cost to their families. With this collaboration, A.Skate is looking to teach 4000 autistic children how to skateboard and also build inclusivity within the skateboard culture throughout the world. 

The collection is now available to buy from March onwards, click here to get yours and become a part of this dope cause.
