Atiba x Vans Euro Tour. Berlin. London. Paris.
2025-10-22
“United Through Skateboarding is a global movement because it’s all about the community
that I’ve been so lucky to build over 30 years. To go back to Berlin, to Paris and
London and see familiar faces and meet new friends is exactly that, It’s the epitome of
community and connections made through skateboarding”
In Celebration of the Atiba x Vans United Through Skateboarding collection, Vans and Atiba hit the road through Europe to connect with
communities across the cultural hubs and skate capitals of Berlin, Paris and London.
Starting in Berlin, hosted by our friends Civilist Berlin, a vibrant skate jam at Weinbergpark led back to Civilist for a packed house photo show
instore at Civilist -the home of the Berlin Skate community.
Next up, Paris and an exclusive gallery show and collection launch saw the Paris community rally around the Arrow and Beast store for an evening of sheer
énergie with old friends and new connecting over photography and skateboarding and Atiba’s visuals that thread the two together.
Crossing the Channel to our finale in London, a two day affair started with drinks and live music animating the flagship Vans West End with an exhibition and
collection launch instore on the Saturday night. On Sunday, a photography workshop for the Public with Atiba himself merged into a classic Southbank jam
session - the hub of British skateboarding hosted by Slam City Skates to round off an incredible tour.
This was the Atiba x Vans Euro Tour. A testament to the strength of community, photography and the connections forged through skateboarding.
Thank you all for being part of it.
