The essential features of skateboarding shoes are shock absorption and board feel. Skate Zahba combines these abilities in perfect proportion with ImpactWaffle technology. Consisting of two layers of environmentally sourced EVA foam wrapped in a SickStick rubber outsole, it'll give you just the right amount of protection on impact. At the same time, the shoe can perfectly connect your foot to the board for uncompromising maneuverability, so you can take your skills to the next level. Longer rails, bigger gaps, deeper bowls.
The Vans team has set ambitious sustainability goals. All of their actions are leading to positive change. To earn the Checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made from recycled, renewable or regenerative materials.
