Vans x Motörhead
The band Motörhead was formed in 1975 with one goal: to play loud, fast and aggressive rock. Motörhead is a combination of rock and roll, heavy metal and punk rock. The band blazed new trails and entered the annals of rock music. Motörhead rocked continuously for 40 years.
The Vans x Motörhead Rowley model is a nod to this legendary band, giving a new character to the shoes that revolutionized our entire industry. Designed to push boundaries, the Rowley features Vans RapidWeld elements with advanced no-sew construction for superior durability and comfort, as well as our revolutionary WAFFLECUP™ construction - a first-of-its-kind outsole that offers male and female skaters both an unrivaled feel boards as well as excellent support.
The solidly constructed Motörhead Rowley features a DURACAP™ rubber layer for reinforcement, a POPCUSH™ sockliner for energy return, Vans Original Waffle outsole and a suede upper with an embroidered Motörhead logo on the heel. Be indestructible, just like your shoes.
• WAFFLECUP CONSTRUCTION - Our most visually striking WAFFLECUP™ outsole delivers superior boardfeel, maximum support and durability. • UNPARALLELED DURABILITY - a reinforced DURACAP™ layer in places particularly exposed to wear increases the durability of the footwear. • CLASSIC RUBBER GRIP - Van Doren™ rubber compound made of rubber for traction and support is the main reason the skating community chooses Vans shoes. A sole for true skateboard enthusiasts. • POPCUSH CUSHIONING - our best cushioning and shock protection. POPCUSH™ energy return insoles help protect your feet while reducing leg fatigue during extended boarding sessions.
VANS was founded in 1966 by brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren and Gordon Lee and Serge Delia as The Van Doren Rubber Company in Anaheim, California. The first shoes to be created were Vans #44, now known as Authentic. In 1976, Vans #95, now known as Era, was created, designed by Tony Alva and Stacey Peralta. In the same year, the Vans "Off the Wall" logo appears. In 1977, Vans #36, Old Skool, and #98, Slip-On, were released. A year later, #38 - Sk8-Hi is created. In 1988, Vans signed by Steve Caballero were presented - the legendary Half Caby. In 2001, Vans helped produce "Dogtown and Z-Boys," a film that gave Stacy Peralta a look at the early days of skateboarding and the personalities that shaped the sport. The film receives the audience award and the directing award at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2010, Vans opens House of Vans Brooklyn, a retail and event space in New York, and in 2014 opens House of Vans in London. In May 2015, Vans makes skateboarding history with the release of the highly anticipated PROPELLER: A Vans Skateboarding Video, the first skateboarding video from Vans. This unique event catapulted Team Vans Pro Skate to international prominence and further highlighted the importance of the Vans brand to the history of skateboarding. PROPELLER becomes the fastest-selling skateboarding video on iTunes. From 2021, the name of the skateboard line was changed from Vans Pro to Vans Skateboarding.
