A few weeks ago Brian had an idea revolving around Chris, Piet, and Chunchai skating some well known HK spots in the Vans Syndicate x 8Five2 Versa Mid and approached me about making a commercial to coincide with the release of the shoe.

Unfortunately the shoe samples arrived late and we had less than a week to film and edit everything. Factor in a typhoon, the high bust factor at most HK skatespots, and the fact that I edit at turtle speed and it was a race to get this done. Thanks to Chris, Piet, and Chunchai for putting in the work, Brandon Ho for the beat, and Miklos Selva von Koszta-Rab for the motion graphics!

Stay tuned for a full length 8Five2 project coming this fall…
