VANS X Lotties
In Support of Skateboarding and Core Skate Shops, Vans Collaborates with Los Angeles’ Lotties Skate Shop
Los Angeles’ Lotties Skate Shop, and its owner Mike Gigliotti, take us to a place where the only thing that matters is skateboarding. Mike’s love for skating, his friends, his shop, art, and giving the youth something positive, are just some of the many reasons why Vans is excited to unveil the new Vans x Lotties collection.
Vans X Lotties collection will be hitting selects Vans' Pro skate shops worldwide July 23rd.

Designed from Mike’s point of view, and featuring an assortment of Pro Classic silhouettes and graphic tees, this collection underscores the enduring importance of skate shops within our communities —and why it’s worth fighting to preserve them as safe havens for youth, where bonds are forged, values instilled and – more often than not—shit is talked. Lotties stands for all those principles as a community hub, above all else serving as an outlet for creative self-expression. Vans recently spent some time with Mike at the shop to understand what inspires him, reflected in a short film highlighting what makes Lotties so special.
“We are so lucky to have such rad locals at Lotties— kids who love and appreciate the shop just as much as we love and appreciate them,” Mike said. “My favorite part of this entire project is seeing the kids get stoked.”
