Type II
Just a simple focus adjustment is sometimes all it takes.
We pulled the toe/vamp back past the ollie point for durability and narrowed the throat some for a closer fit, giving way to a slimmer overall shape and silhouette. The sidewall heights are lower as well, improving flex and allowing more surface area to the upper for more board control.
Classic design runs consistently throughout our skate line—the Type II builds on history.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

CMEVA Sockliner
-
- In addition to being anatomically contoured for improved FIT and STABILITY, Vans SKATE compression-molded ethyl vinyl acetate foam footbeds are ULTRALIGHT and RESPONSIVE.

-
FLEX & FIT Upper Patterning
-
- By pulling back the contact point of the tongue’s edge past the sensitive part of your foot, the shoe flexes better without interruption, making it way more COMFORTABLE. Uninterrupted flex eliminates hot spots, while the secondary construction material reinforces the ollie area to improve DURABILITY, saving everyday skateboarders money and time.

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.
