“In 1990 I was 14 and made a $5 deposit @bc_colorado for my first pair of custom @vans chukka boots. I’m honored to announce I’m now a Brand Curator for @vans I’m so excited to create new projects combining all things I love with the foundation of skateboarding. I’m so stoked @vans thank you and shout out @julianklincewicz so honored to be photographed by you.”- Atiba Jefferson
