Vans re-tooled Skate Classics

Vans Introduces All-New Skate Classics: Built Extra Tough On The Inside For Skateboarding

Timeless silhouettes receive upgraded design and construction.

Vans proudly present the all-new Skate Classics, their most iconic silhouettes with an updated, extra-tough construction designed first and foremost for skateboarders.

Completely redesigned with skaters in mind, reinforced materials and upgraded construction provide added durability and energy-return cushioning for longer skate sessions, while a few finishing touches to the overall aesthetic prove that Skate Classics don’t just perform, they also look good doing it.

Skate Classics lead with fully revised uppers that incorporate reimagined patterns and an all-new last for better heel fit. A molded heel counter and locked-in tongue straps with premium heel hold keep feet locked in for better control. The DURACAP underlay takes on a new shape, adding flexibility and removing excess bulk to eliminate hot spots, resulting in an essential fit for maximum durability where skaters need it most. Two-part foxing featuring a heavier knurl texture on toe bumpers, as well as Sick Stick, a new proprietary gum rubber compound, increases the durability and longevity of the shoe. In addition, Vans PopCush energy-return footbeds snap back and won’t pack out, keeping legs feeling fresh to skate longer.

An always-stylish classic white/blue colourway prevails across the Skate Authentic, Skate Slip-On, Skate Sk8-Hi, Skate Old Skool, and Skate Era, while a new sidewall finish, Checkerboard flag, and “Skateboarding” branding subtly enhance these timeless styles.
