Introducing the AVE 2.0, Our Most Technically Advanced Skate Shoe Ever

Anthony Van Engelen is always pushing the boundaries of skateboarding. Together, Vans and AVE have consistently delivered our most progressive skate shoes, and his latest pro model is our most uncompromised yet. Featuring Vans’ UltimateWaffle™ sole, the AVE 2.0 pulls from decades of footwear innovation to set a new standard by combining added grip and cushioning with unrivaled support and an engineered knit upper that provides a precision fit, enabling skaters to keep pushing the boundaries—just like AVE.

• ULTIMATE GRIP - Our UltimateWaffle™ sole is built with SickStick™ rubber for uncompromised durability, support, and the perfect grip for skateboarding.

• PRECISION FIT - The newly engineered knit tech upper gives the AVE 2.0 a sock-like fit while the molded TPU heel and midfoot add stability and support.

• BOARDFEEL + CUSHIONING - Our resilient UltraCush™ midsole combines with the UltimateWaffle™ for the perfect combination of boardfeel and cushioning.

• REINFORCED FOR SKATEBOARDING - We added our innovative RAPIDWELD™ no-sew construction to the DURACAP™-lined suede in high-wear areas to provide lasting protection from griptape.

• TPU SUPPORT - The clear TPU piece (visible along the midfoot) adds lightweight and long-lasting support, while providing a clear view of the UltimateWaffle™ construction.
