Vans Introduces LXVI, the Next Evolution in Footwear
from the Action Sports Original

Ultra-Light, Flexible and Comfortable, LXVI Represents Vans’ Most Progressive Athletic Designs

Cypress, CA (June 15, 2012) - Vans’ LXVI line hits store shelves June 28 to introduce the next evolution in footwear from the action sports original.  With LXVI, Vans delivers our most progressive and technically advanced athletic designs to date in ultra-light, flexible and comfortable shoes for the action sports enthusiast.  With the youthful, active lifestyle of action sports culture in mind, LXVI offers versatile shoes free from traditional construction parameters with a singular focus on everyday wear through superior comfort, flexibility and reduced weight.  Fusing these advanced designs with the familiar Vans aesthetic results in the next generation of your favorite shoes.

With a name recalling Vans’ founding year of 1966, LXVI debuts at retail with five innovative designs representing a wide range of progressive athletic silhouettes and eye-catching color pops.  Vans launches LXVI with the lightest Vans shoe ever, the Graph, the mid-top Secant, the all-terrain Inscribe, the thoroughly modern Variable and the unmistakable Vans look of the Ortho.  Retail prices range from $70 to $90.

LXVI shoes feel unlike any previous Vans footwear thanks to several new construction advances resulting in the more comfortable, lightweight and flexible fit: 

• LuxLiner – a free-floating liner improves comfort through increased airflow and fit
• Waffleflex – new tread design offers increased flexibility and decreased weight
• UltraCush Lite – custom blend of foams provide superlight cushioning
• ActionFit – a proprietary lifted heel fit  gives a more lively feel to your step
• PleasureCuff – offers uncompromised comfort with advanced heel and collar cushioning
• RapidWeld – Vans’ new stitch-less construction reduces weight while increasing durability and flexibility.
