content: Anthony Van England Pro Model Vans shoes used by Oscar Loreto Jr. at the 2019 Summer XGames have gray suede toes with white mesh fabric body and black suede Vans swoop. The white nylon laces are tied and tucked into the shoes. Oscar Loreto Jr. was born with a congenital birth defect in which he was missing his left foot and hand and four fingers on his right hand. Adapting quickly to a prosthetic as a child, Loreto created a skate team while in high school and soon became active in the adaptive skateboarding scene. Graduating from Cal State, Long Beach with a degree in filmmaking, Loreto uses these skills to make, edit and produce skate videos. He competes at the X Games and is a strong influence in the skate and the adaptive community. Loreto sits on the Board of Directors at the Sheckler Foundation, a non-profit that assists youth and injured action sports athletes and USA Skateboarding.
