The Skate Classics: Built Extra Tough on the Inside for Skateboarding

Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the Skate Classics collection delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. Made with classic suede and canvas uppers, the Skate Old Skool gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand.

• INCREASED DURABILITY - DURACAP™ reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a more heritage look with increased durability and protection.

• LEGENDARY GRIP - Our proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet.
• POPCUSH CUSHIONING - Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions.
• ICONIC STYLING - A mix of suede and 170 and 283 gm canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Old Skool®.
