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.
