Hamburg, Germany is an unlikely origin for a professional snowboarder. It has little annual snowfall and is a days journey to where it accumulates, but Benny Urban did not let geographical location stop him from using his formative years to develop the skills and, perhaps most importantly, the perspective that he now employs as an everyday pro. it's the city where Urban laid the foundation for his career. From Japan to Canada, the United States, or Russia, he is in perpetual motion, hunting handrails and concrete to satisfy his desire to always make his next video part his best performance yet. Benny is one of Europe's most admired and emulated street riders, and his smooth style extends beyond the board. To cover all those moments in-between rides, we teamed up to release the MTE Standard Mid Chelsea X Benny Urban Waterproof Boot. Practical, packable, and wear-at-the-bar-able, this downsized slip-on version of Vans best-selling Standard snow boot has all the waterproofing, insulation, and traction you need to make every day your best. It is made with leather and rubber uppers.
