The original, refined for skating.
Updated for skateboarding, our Skate Classics are built tough, grip hard and land soft.
Style VN0A2Z2Z8D3
Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the Skate Classics collection delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. A vulcanized shoe made with hairy suede uppers that nod to our original heritage shoe, the Skate Authentic gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand.
- INCREASED DURABILITY - DURACAP reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a heritage look with increased durability and protection.
- FULLY REDESIGNED UPPERS - Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control.
- LEGENDARY GRIP - Our proprietary SickStick gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet.
- POPCUSH CUSHIONING - Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions.
- ICONIC STYLING - Hairy suede has been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Authentic while offering a modern, elevated look.
