In calmest of fashions, Darrell Mathes has been one of the most influential minds in snowboarding over the past three decades. Through style and creativity, the Portland, Oregon native entered the consciousness of snowboarding’s movers and shakers during street snowboarding’s proliferation in the early 2000s, particularly with his appearances in Mack Dawg’s “Follow Me Around” and in the breakthrough movie, “Love Hate.”
Beginning his 20th year as part of the Vans Snow family, Darrell can claim over a dozen video parts across multiple production companies, where his textbook style and thoughtful trick selection earned him a reputation as one of snowboarding’s most accomplished street riders. And in parallel, his contributions to snowboarding’s culture and community have fortified his legacy on a short list of individuals who have dedicated everything to the lifestyle he loves. Vans is very proud to share this double-decade milestone with Darrell through a one-of-a-kind Invado Pro.

Uncompromising natural flex and a weight-reducing, impact-resisting UltraCush midsole provide incredible board feel, while a Vans-exclusive pattern and rubber compound give you the confidence you need to scramble the sidecountry with confidence.
