THE STANDARD MID SNOW MTE BENNY URBAN

This is the Standard Mid Snow Mte Shoes by Vans. 

Hamburg, Germany is an unlikely origin for a professional snowboarder. It has little annual snowfall and is a day’s journey to where it accumulates, but Benny Urban did not let geographical location stop him from using his formative years to develop the skills and, perhaps most importantly, the perspective that he now employs as an everyday pro. It’s the city where Urban laid the foundation for his career. From Japan to Canada, the United States, or Russia, he is in perpetual motion, hunting handrails and concrete to satisfy his desire to always make his next video part his best performance yet.

Benny is one of Europe’s most admired and emulated street riders, and his smooth style extends beyond the board. To cover all those moments in-between rides, we teamed up to release the Standard Mid Snow MTE x Benny Urban. Practical, packable, and wear-at-the-bar-able, this downsized version of Vans’ best-selling Standard Snow MTE snow boot has all the waterproofing, insulation, and traction you need to make every day your best. With leather and synthetic uppers featuring Benny’s signature design, classic style and day-to-day winter weather footwear have finally converged.

• TRACTION: Specially designed for cruising around in cold weather conditions, the Standard Snow MTE™ outsole with All-Trac, a cold weather-specific all-terrain rubber compound, offers next-level grip and traction for variable terrain.
