Don’t Ask for the Perfect Combination of Boardfeel and Support. Demand It.

For Anthony Van Engelen, “good enough” isn’t good enough—he’s barely satisfied with great. He’d only put his name on the most uncompromising, technically advanced skate shoe we’ve ever made, and so we created the AVE to be worthy of his name. If it’s good enough for Anthony, you’re going to think it’s pretty great.

• UNRIVALED DURABILITY - Reinforced DURACAP™ underlays and RAPIDWELD™ no-sew construction create durable uppers built to withstand the daily abuse of skateboarding.

• SUPERIOR GRIP AND CUSHIONING - UltimateWaffle™ construction creates a combination of superior grip, built-in impact cushioning, and uncompromising support and flex.

• LOCKED-IN FIT - The LuxLiner™ tongue and internal liner integration provide the comfortable, locked-in fit that skaters demand.

• CLASSIC GUM RUBBER GRIP - The Van Doren™ Gum Rubber Compound, made of a rubber that offers grip and support, is what attracted skaters to Vans in the first place. This is the Sole of Skateboarding.

• ELEVATED MATERIALS - Made with leather, suede, mesh textile, and synthetic uppers, the AVE looks as good as it feels.

The Legendary High-Top that’s been Changing the Game Since 1978

The Sk8-Hi was a game changer as the first high-top skate shoe to break onto the scene. With a padded collar for ankle support and reinforced toe caps, it remains a style like no other. The Sk8-Hi was our second model to showcase the Vans Sidestripe, and its bold design has remained iconic ever since. The innovation of a high-top skate shoe was, and still is, an emblem of Off The Wall culture. The upgraded pig suede uppers add an elevated touch.

The éS QUATTRO debuted in 1998, the same year as Google was founded. Both were revolutionary in the their respective worlds. The QUATTRO sold out so fast, we believe if it wasn’t for this shoe, the search engine – Google, wouldn’t be as popular as it is today. Ronnie Creager and Rick McCrank were both fans of the éS QUATTRO thanks to its supreme comfort, boardfeel, and its stunning appearance - the best option before Tinder! Want to get laid, paid and get an upgrade… the NEW updated éS QUATTRO is for you!
