Vans teamed up with Federal for a unique take on the BMX Old Skool. The uppers have been constructed from sturdy canvas and suede with elevated sockliners inside offering superior protection with Duracap rubber underlays in high wear areas add extra reinforcement. Underfoot the classic Waffle sole gets updated to Vans revolutionary Wafflecup BMX construction that offers the support of a cupsole without sacrificing any grip or pedalfeel that a traditional vulcanised shoe offers. ###shogun-image-section###
Arguably one of Vans most iconic silhouettes, the Old Skool has been a favourite among skaters, BMXers and people of all walks of life for many years now. It's no surprise then that it is consistantly part of special releases or collabs, like the Vans x One Piece collection. The Skate Old Skool boasts Sturdy suede and canvas to make up the uppers, with Duracap reinforcement rubber underlays in key areas adding unrivaled durability that can withstand daily skateboarding abuse. PopCush sockliners are low profile enough to keep your feet close to the board while still providing the highest level of impact cushioning. Vans proprietary SickSlick gum rubber compound creates an outsole that's got more grip and durability than any before. As part of the One Piece collab these Old Skools continue the wanted poster theme with their purple uppers featuring Nico Robin, the "Demon Child" across the side panels and heel, with One Piece detailing to the sidewall wrap to finish. ###shogun-image-section###
