Volcom and Vans have partnered up with the program The Surf Industry Coastal Defenders, an organization comprised of other skater and surfer eco-friendly brands that are committed to preserving our planet’s seas. SICD has bound together these infamous companies in an agreement to clean our nation’s beaches and allow us all to enjoy the sunny side of life.

Now that Fall is starting, school comes with it and so do the latest trends. Thankfully, you can feel at ease knowing these widely available eco-friendly brands will look stylish and remind you to support an worthy cause this coming semester.

Vans is the ultimate surfer/skater shoe. Vans has long been the king of ease and style for the youth as far back as 1966. Their commitment to SICD is in their sponsorships of several notable sporting events such as the famous Vans Warped Tour and Vans Triple Crown Surfing. They are dedicated to keeping our beaches clean and ready for their surfers to run along with their premium quality footwear.

Vans Unisex Authentic Skate Shoe is the quintessential choice for those with a skater sense of style. Made from canvas with an ergonomic, classic design that comes in too many colors to list. This shoe is THE sneaker of choice for most students in any grade. They’re affordable, trendy and have a reputation for being resistant to wear and tear and an eco-friendly brand.

Make morning’s even easier with Vans Classic Slip-on shoe. The variety of patterns are like potato chips to Van’s diehards and it’s hard not to buy several pairs. They’re low-heeled, making it very easy to slip them on and experience comfort all day long. The magic of Vans is that you won’t even realize you’re wearing them except for admiring how great they look.

Vans Unisex Old Skool Skate Shoe Canvas in Black/White is an oldie but a goodie. While not as universally popular as Vans other footwear, it is a favorite among athletes who need the extra support and cushion for after school skate seshes. They protect your feet with a vintage appeal that can’t be overlooked.

Volcom has a hands-on approach when it comes to coastal preservation. In fall 2015, they proved their dedication to SICD’s mission statement with an event that had local chapters doing mass beach cleanups.

Volcom is a company very well known among the skate and surfer communities and was so popular that their sports apparel broke into mainstream fashion from the 2000’s onward. Volcom is an eco-friendly brand with its feet firmly on the ground and their boards pointed to the sky but they always remember their roots in community involvement.

If you want to continue supporting Volcom’s efforts to preserve our beaches, consider checking out Volcom Men’s Frickin Modern Fit Stretch Chino Pants. They give anyone that classic skater style and look right at home with Vans or Sanuk shoes. Rock that California vibe with these pants no matter where you are.

Pair those pants up with the Volcom Wowzer Modern Fit Cotton Polo Shirt. It’s a perfect, simplistic addition to any wardrobe with enough color options to keep things fresh on the reg. The Volcom logo gives you some skater cred as it is discretely emboldened on the upper right corner.

Volcom Men’s Full Stone Flexfit Stretch Twill Hat is so iconic that the feelings of warm nostalgia will flood back from when it first started to appear regularly in mainstream fashion. The bold, perennial logo is grandly put forth in the middle. It has adjustable straps and a comfortable, flexible fabric that keeps the head cool as well as giving you a crown fit for any skater.

Top your perfect Back to School outfit off with the Volcom Unisex Academy Backpack. This stylish, ergonomic design has a stunning aesthetic look to it that is sure to catch attention. The V-shaped shoulder straps give this striking backpack an original fresh look while also providing great support. This backpack is not wanting for pockets and has a great storage capacity for books and anything else. It’s easy to imagine a skateboard sticking out of the top, all without causing any lasting damage to the material.

The Surf Industry Coastal Defenders have brought these incredible powerhouses together to make a statement; Our Earth’s oceans matter. As our largest bodies of water with the most diverse forms of life on the planet, we need to do our part to protect these precious ecosystems. Wearing brands like these, you are not only contributing to these conservation efforts but you are rewarding companies who are standing up in the face of pollution so we can all enjoy the outdoors together.
