Village Psychic spends the day with Dan Mancina.
Skateboarder first, visually impaired second, inspiration forever. From day one, Dan Mancina skated the Busenitz as his go-to skate shoe, and as a visually impaired skateboarder, a shoe’s fit, feel, and function are essential to Dan. He has proven that impossible is nothing. By partnering with Dan on his favorite silhouette, we can celebrate his story and inspire the next generation. This edit pays homage to the Busenitz while celebrating Dan’s signature color way of the iconic silhouette.
