Cushioning and Grip:

• Footbed: Incorporates PopCush™ footbeds for superior cushioning and impact protection, reducing leg fatigue during extended skate sessions.

Construction and Fit:

• Sole: Built with a vulcanized sole for flexibility and optimal board contact.

• Closure: Traditional lace-up design allows for a customizable and secure fit.

This combination of heritage-inspired design and modern skate technology makes the Vans Skate Rowley a reliable choice for both casual wear and high-performance skateboarding.
