You now have no excuse when someone asks you to do a kickflip whilst you’re wearing Vans.

Have you ever skated in a shoe that is not made for skating? They essentially disintegrate in 15 mins, leaving gaping holes in places where there once was fabric and are forced to become your new skate shoes, regardless of why you bought them… Well, Vans are combatting that by turning their most recognisable silhouettes into shoes that (obvs) look rad, but also have all the high-performance trimmings you need in a skate shoe.

That’s right, the Skate Classics range will see the unleashing of the Skate Authentic, Skate Slip-On, Skate Sk8-Hi, Skate Old Skool, and Skate Era – all of which receive the upgrade with reinforced materials and improved durability including the Vans DURACAP underlay and molded heel. Check out the pics below and stay tuned for when the kicks drop this month!
