Vans proudly announces the official worldwide release of “Shikumen” – the latest skateboarding film produced by Tommy Zhao and Liu Maomao. “Shikumen” is an immortal Shanghainese architecture where Vans rented this historical house for a month to host the skate team from over the world to explore the Shanghai city.

Staying in week-long shifts, the skate team from the United States, France, Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan cruised around with the Vans China team as they skated the city of marble, devouring Xiaolongbaos and dodging scooters along the way. “By bringing the team from different regions together and staying in an old Shanghai lane house, you get the opportunity to explore the streets a bit more, find a local coffee shop, or speak to the locals. I feel like it allows the team to get a more authentic experience out of their trip versus a normal skate tour,” Said by Tommy, “ I just wanted to show them what it is about Shanghai that I love so much.”
