    Vans' core mission is to celebrate skateboarding's impact on culture and champion the skateboarding world's creatives who are "Always Pushing" progression. Now Vans is set to touch down at Vans Skate Space 198 in Bushwick, Brooklyn for an all-day block party. Occurring right in the middle of New York Fashion Week on September 7, the party is a celebration of the brand's long-standing support of NYC skate culture and an opportunity to bring together the individuals, brands, and shops in New York that, just like Vans, are "Always Pushing."

    The good times don't end when the sun goes down either, as Vans will transform the space into a "skate rave" at night. After a Skate Session with the Vans Skateboarding team, the venue will turn the lights down and the bass up, featuring fresh ghettotech from Detroit's HiTech and New York's Jubilee.
