Vans drew on more than 40 years of critical feedback from its pro skateboarding team to create its UltraRange Pro skate shoe, available worldwide on Saturday, June 17.

The skate shoe is “designed to enhance the fundamental union of skate cushioning and grip with the introduction of a unique co-molded bottom unit” that combines Vans’ UltraCush Lite foam with its original waffle outsole, said a company representative.

Vans decades of design heritage has contributed to a versatile build that “pushes the boundaries of skate progression to provide uncompromising functionality with creative innovation.” The UltraRange Pro also utilizes a new internal sock-fit construction, providing a breathable, responsive and snug fit, along with ventilated tongue, collar and quarter panels for increased airflow.
