Vans presents the all-new Skate Classics, our most iconic silhouettes with an updated, extra-tough construction designed first and foremost for skateboarders. Completely redesigned with skaters in mind, Skate Classics deliver reinforced materials and upgraded construction while providing added durability and energy-return cushioning for longer skate sessions, with a few finishing touches to the overall aesthetic. Skate Classics start 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. Rounding everything out is the PopCush footbeds that snap back and won?? t pack out, keeping legs feeling fresh to skate longer.
