Vans unveil an all-new skate shoe with Finnish-American skate pro Lizzie Armanto

With a storied career that includes many firsts — like the first woman to grace TransWorld SKATEboarding’s magazine cover, the first to complete Tony Hawk’s Loop, and a part of the talented crew to compete in Tokyo’s 2021 Olympic skateboarding debut— Finnish-American Lizzie Armanto is a pioneer and role model. Now she has partnered with Vans on an all-new signature skate shoe: the 'Lizzie'. It is Vans’ first signature skateboarding shoe designed by a woman in 20 years, the shoe follows strict footwear materials guidelines for all major components and has been designed and engineered to have a reduced carbon footprint.
