A Sustainability-Conscious Way to Prepare for the Unexpected
Surfing’s romance is not found solely in the act of riding a wave, but in experiencing the communities that surround it. Michael February’s journey of self-discovery in the water is a direct result of the inspiration he finds on land. Inspired by surfing’s connection to art, music, and culture, this timeless collection highlights the beauty you can find when you look beyond the break.
For this season, Mikey’s collection is characterized by an assortment of footwear and apparel that harmoniously blends innovation, functionality, and sustainable materials. Combining the UltraRange’s comfort and versatility features with Vans’ VR3 design guidelines, the Michael February UltraRange Neo VR3 lets you take on the unexpected moments of your day while making a sustainability-conscious choice along your journey.
Our team has set ambitious sustainability goals. Big or small, all of our efforts add up to positive change. To earn the VR3 Checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made up of one or a combination of recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials.
