Vans Elijah Berle Skate Half Cab - VICTORIA BLACK/MARSHMALLOW VN0A5FCD1KP Mens Womens Sneakers

All New Skate Classics: Built Extra Tough on the Inside For Skateboarding

Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the all-new Skate Classics collection delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. And this season, we partnered with Elijah Berle to build a collection of Skate Classics that speaks to his passion for classic tattoo art, motorcycle culture, retro surf, and mid-century fashion.

The repositioned DURACAP™ reinforced underlays and fully redesigned uppers, combined with a new two-part foxing tape that features a deeper knurl pattern on the toe, make the Elijah Berle Skate Half Cab durable enough to withstand daily skateboarding abuse. For more board control, the new molded heel counter and internal tongue straps lock in your feet. Even the gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been elevated with the SICKSTICK™ rubber compound to deliver more grip and boardfeel. Plus, POPCUSH™ energy return sockliners provide superior cushioning and impact protection while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. Internal heel stiffeners have also been added to provide more support and stability.

The new Elijah Berle Skate Half Cab’s updated foxing tape, along with sturdy suede and a mix of 6 oz and 10 oz canvas uppers, gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand. And be sure to look for the new checkerboard flag on the side to guarantee that you’re getting the best in style and modern skateboarding performance.
