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

Celebrating the 25-year legacy of the Rowley, Geoff Rowley’s original signature skate shoe, the Skate Rowley echoes Vans Skateboarding’s rich history while propelling skate culture forward. Built on heritage and redesigned for modern skateboarding, this epic vulcanized shoe honors the skate legend who etched his mark on the next generation while delivering more of what today’s skateboarders need to push style and progression forward.

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

• FULLY REDESIGNED UPPERS - Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control.

• 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 -Durable suede and mesh textile accents have been used at the upper, honoring the legacy of the original 1999 Rowley skate shoe while upgrading the look for today.
