In conjunction with Sony Pictures Classics, Vans announces the release of a new deluxe edition of Dogtown and Z-Boys, the famed documentary chronicling the early 70s birth of modern skateboarding in Southern California. Directed by skateboard legend Stacy Peralta, and narrated by Sean Penn, Dogtown and Z-Boys is the story of a group of gifted kids who single-handedly created a lifestyle that spread infectiously and become a worldwide cultural phenomenon. Over 30 years later, Vans celebrates the skate pioneers with a re-release of the award winning documentary that features members of the original Zephyr Skateboard Team including Jay Adams, Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta and their mentors Jeff Ho and Skip Engblom.
The deluxe edition, which will be available exclusively at Vans retail stores and at shop.vans.com this November, includes an all-new special features disc with footage of legendary riders Tony Alva, Bucky Lasek, Chris Miller, Rune Glifberg and more, as well as interviews with Alva and Lasek.
Along with the DVD, a special collection of limited edition Dogtown product will be released inlcuding two hoodies, hats and a tee featuring the infamous Dogtown cross and graffiti art from the streets of Venice Beach. In a nod to the original Zephyr rippers, two Era's in heritage inspired colorways from the early 70s will also be available.
