Vans Greece presents "Nous" video by Kostas Mandilas

From the depths of classical philosophy, Nous (νους) represents the intellectual force that discerns truth, reality, and possibility—a fitting metaphor for skateboarding’s blend of instinct, calculation, and sheer creative will. Skaters don’t just see an obstacle; they deconstruct it, analyze risk, and reimagine its potential. That’s exactly what the Greek Vans team did—turning Athenian spots into a playground of never-before-done (NBD) maneuvers and unexpected lines.

With a crew stacked with powerhouses—Alex Tsaga, Denis Skamnas, Chris Kats, Asimina Manouskou, Thanos Panou, Nikolas Konstadakis, Tony Tzo, Giorgio Zavos, Dimitris Kaberis, Thanasis Arabuli, and Mini Pro—this project isn’t just another skate edit. Under the vision of Kostas Mandilas, it fuses raw skate energy with cinematic artistry, walking the fine line between a classic skate video and a polished visual masterpiece.

The result? A mind-expanding session through the streets of Athens that challenges what’s possible. Hit play, and prepare to be hyped.
