We are very excited to take part in the global launch of Vans' all new skate classics footwear line. It's a big deal! Vans has significantly upgraded their classic line-up of skate shoes while maintaining a great price point. They will be a staple on our shoe wall from here on out. Reinforced materials plus upgraded construction provide added durability and energy return cushioning for longer skate sessions. As part of the first offerings from this line-up we've got some Authentics, Slip-ons, Eras, and Lampins available online. Try em' out and see what all the hype is about!

The Garden of the Provinces and Territories has been the go-to staple Ottawa street spot for decades. Skaters refer to it simply as “Archives” due to the fact that it lies across the street from Library and Archives Canada. It is centrally located, with plenty of shade from numerous trees, and is rather large in size. Archives features 2 long, yet small ledges, a taller ledge and two eight sets. It also features plenty of room to hang out and play S.K.A.T.E. It’s the closest thing Ottawa has to a street plaza, but a far cry from legendary spots such as Pulaski, J-kwon, or Love....

Just restocked a bunch of Vans pro classics. Free shipping over $100.
