Vans, the clothing brand which started supporting BMX in 1979, is celebrating a new milestone through an anniversary collection. 

The collection is inspired by the heyday of parking lot ramp demonstrations, neon clad kids and a longstanding form of creative expression. 

The women's range includes a jacket that uses a poly flight satin shell, with a range of Vans logo executions to give the jacket a more stylish look. It also has the relaxed fit BMX muscle tank top that is made with a heavy cotton jersey and is adorned with front and back logo treatment.
