Vans have always been at the forefront of introducing new technologies for skate shoes and the Zahba in the Black/Gum colourway seems to have come with all of them. The IMPACTWAFFLE™ sole provides great impact protection with no comprise of boardfeel. As for comfort the Zahba is equipped with the VR3CUSH™ midsole which is made with a biobased EVA foam. Also, a Low-profile SickStick™ outsole with a new engineered tread pattern for enhanced impact protection, grip, and durability. Finally, a DURACAP™ reinforced tow cap for increased durability. The black, white and gum colourway of this shoe is reminiscent of the classic, popular Vans Old Skool.
