Vans Unveils New Surf Designs through Future Currents Collection

Spearheaded by UltraRange™ Neo VR3, the “Future Currents” collection offers environmentally conscious pieces that are fully prepared for the unexpected.

(Manila, Philippines) – Generations of surfers have respectfully sparred with the sea, handing down their love of the waves to younger generations and entrusting the secrets of the ocean to a new crop of shredders. It’s that aged in nature that inspired Vans’ new Future Currents VR3 collection, an offering of footwear and apparel that’s both environmentally conscious and built for the unexpected to and from the ocean.

Each piece follows the Vans VR3 design guidelines. The checkerboard globe logo on the footwear signifies that 30% of the product is made of one or a combination of regenerative, renewable, and/or recycled materials. The collection’s key piece is the UltraRange™ Neo VR3 (PHP 8,498) made with an upper of 100% recycled PET textile and leather sourced from farms implementing regenerative practices such as rotational grazing and diverse pasture management. This sits atop a midsole that is 50% bio-based EVA foam and an outsole that is 60% regeneratively grown natural rubber.

The style is accompanied by a Sk8-Hi® 38 Decon VR3 (PHP 6,998) and an Authentic VR3 (PHP 5,998) which boast suede and canvas uppers made from 100% US-grown cotton from farms utilizing practices that can help improve a soil’s ability to absorb carbon. There’s even the ultimate “chiller,” an ultra-cozy Harbor Mule (PHP 6,498). All the footwear feature a muted color scheme with calming details that pay homage to ocean waves, natural surface patterns and Zen gardens.

The Vans Future Currents collection is now available at the following branches: Ayala Center Cebu, Glorietta, Greenbelt, SM Megamall and Trinoma. It will be also available online via the Vans Official Chat Store.
