Judging from their name, The Suicidal Tendencies were never afraid of a little controversy. Formed in Venice, CA, during the early 80’s the group’s leader from the beginning was outspoken vocalist Mike Muir. The outfit specialized in vicious hardcore early on - building a huge following among skateboarders, lending a major hand in the creation of skatepunk - before turing their focus eventually to thrash metal. Through it all, Suicidal Tendencies has maintained a strong connection to its Venice roots and to skate, to which Vans pays heed with the Vans x Suicidal Tendencies collection.

Want some fresh kicks to start 2010 off right? You’re in luck because Vans just released all new spring skate shoes including Anthony Van Engelen’s sixth pro model, the “AV6.” Also look for new color-ups in all your other favorite styles including the Chukka Low, J-Lay and TNT II Mid, plus Geoff Rowley’s 13th signature shoe, the Rowley “Style 99’s” which drop in March.
