Vans is paying homage to the life and legacy of the late, great, Jeff Grosso with a new “Grosso Forever” collection. An influential skateboarder and longtime Vans family member, Grosso passed away in March 2020. Since then, Vans has honored him with a virtual memorial and now his very own posthumous collection consisting of two special takes on the Sk8-Hi, meaningful apparel and even an episode of Vans’
Love Letters web series.
The first Sk8-Hi in the collection is a red and white checkerboard style, with black detailing and a wavy print on the midsole. Grosso wore a similar pair in Powell-Peralta‘s classic 1985 skate film
 celebrates Jeffâs life, in his own words, and was compiled by long time co-creators, Buddy Nichols and Rick Charnoski of Six Stair Productions. The episode illustrates Jeffâs raw, authentic and often-opinionated take on skateboarding that was captured during a decade of filming the series.
To honor Jeffâs legacy, the Grosso Forever Collection leads with the Skate Sk8-Hi, featuring reissued colorways from important moments in his career. Supporting the shoe is an offering of special-edition Grosso Forever apparel showcasing artwork from two of Jeffâs longtime friends, Bryce Kanights and John Lucero, with royalties directed to Jeffâs son Oliver and his family.
