Skateboarder Zion Wright On Having A Custom Vans Zahba Silhouette: ‘It Means The World’

One of the greatest accomplishments a professional skateboarder can achieve is working with their shoe sponsor on a signature silhouette—putting a product out into the world that makes a statement about who they are and what they stand for. Seeing others wearing the shoe offers a tangible reminder of their influence in the sport.

For Zion Wright, 24, who joined the Vans skate team two years ago, that moment has arrived with the Zahba by Zion Wright, his new silhouette that launched globally on March 16. It’s a project Wright says he went “straight to work on” when he signed with the action sports heavyweight.
