Vans Skate Zahba Low White Purple Yellow VN0A2Z3SWTM

Engineered for Performance, Designed for the Planet

When impact protection and boardfeel come together, skateboarders have the best opportunity to make an impact. That’s why the Skate Zahba Athletic features Vans’ best impact cushioning outsole design yet: the ImpactWaffle. Its unique three-part design-two layers of biobased EVA foam encased in a SickStick rubber outsole-provides the right amount of impact protection in all the right places so that you have the cushioning and control needed to level up your skating. Longer rails, bigger gaps, deeper bowls . . . That’s impact you can see.
