VANS SKATE OLD SKOOL
The Vans Skate Old Skool Shoes are part of Vans' new line, Skate Classics. The most iconic skate shoe has been redesigned for the needs of modern skateboarding. These shoes incorporate a secure tongue strap, a DURACAP underlay for durability, SickStick rubber compound for grip, and an internal heel shank for improved board feel, creating a classic yet modern skate shoe.
Sole
Vulcanized:
Vulc shoes are lightweight, flexible, and easy to break in. They don't offer as much protection as cupsoles, but are preferred if you want good board feel in a lightweight, less bulky shoe.
Footbed
PopCush™:
Vans PopCush insoles maintain cushioning and bounce back even after extended wear. This patented foam compound is tuned and tested to provide impact protection, superior cushioning, and energy return. This upgraded foam outperforms Vans' UltraCush™ compound, allowing you to skate longer and harder.
detail
Duracap™:
Developed and tested by the Vans professional skateboarding team, the shoe is reinforced with rubber underlays in the toe box and ollie area for increased durability.
SickStick™:
Based on Vans' original gum rubber formula, SickStick is the grippiest rubber sole Vans has ever made, extensively rider-tested for enhanced grip and durability, while also bonding securely to our foxing tape for maximum board control.
