Introducing VANS WAFFLECUP Construction! The process our Vans SKATE design and development team went through with Gilbert Crockett, Chima Ferguson, Andrew Allen and Chris Pfanner began with a blank slate and resulted in this innovative, ground-up design that fuses VANS ORIGINAL WAFFLE Outsole vulcanization technology with modern cupsole performance. In numerous research and testing sessions skating all terrains, the team kept the focus 100% on function. The result is pure SKATE utility and the introduction of skateboarding’s first-ever vulcanized-cupsole construction platform, the VANS WAFFLECUP.

  • Vans ORIGINAL WAFFLE Outsole
    • Vans ORIGINAL WAFFLE Outsole
    • Back in ’66, Paul van Doren made the first soles of his new shoes twice as thick so they would wear longer and, unlike other shoe manufacturers, he used pure crepe rubber with no filler. That decision ended up shaping the company when the world’s first skateboarders discovered how Vans’ now-famous ORIGINAL WAFFLE outsole gum rubber compound let them feel their boards while keeping them firmly connected to them.
