Raising the bar in vulcanised skate shoe performance, Curren Caples lands his first signature shoe for Vans. Its almost a shock that a skater of Currens stature hasnt had a signature shoe yet, but it was certainly worth the wait.

One of the smoothest to ever do it deserves a shoe to match. The Vans CURREN cements Caples into skateboarding legacy, launching in a red and white colourway that brings a vintage Californian vibe to the new shoe. Not straying too far away from their roots, the Curren is reminiscent of some of Vans most established models, bringing an Authentic and Era feel with a tougher construction and elevated tech. Currens first signature model is a true Vans classic in the making.

The epitome of style, it all seems to come so naturally to Curren, but underneath the surf smooth style is an unmatched grit and determination that has established him as one of the powerhouses in the industry. The CURREN silhouette builds on the masterful skate-ready construction that Vans are renowned for in his search for vulcanised perfection. A customised outsole pattern with Vans Sidestripe detailing is optimised for grip and boardfeel with the tried and tested SICKSTICK rubber compound. The clean upper is reinforced with DURACAP underlays to extend the life of the shoe, whilst the POPCUSH insole delivers supreme impact protection.

The CURREN doesnt reinvent the wheel, it just makes it better. Get yours now at Route One. Also arriving in Dark Brown and Grey.
