THE VANS KOMBI


How rad is the VANS Australia Kombi! built by my homie John Parmeter. I was fortunate enough to be able to see the progress of the build when i was working at the Vans Australia head office in Melbourne, I remember hangin out with him after work and watch him build this thing out of the warehouse. The reason for this Kombi is obviously marketing, but mainly to drive the skate team around Australia for tours and demos. Since John is the AUS/NZ team manager, skateboarder, big daddy, muscle car enthusiast and basically a top dude from LA, he totally hit the nail on the nose getting this Kombi looking legit! LA styles.
