Vans [ROWLEY] Pro Lite

Some 14 years after a treacherous 50-50 down the massive Staples Center hubba, Vans has updated Geoff Rowley’s classic signature shoe with contemporary technology, unveiling the [ROWLEY] Pro Lite to the world. Where the original shoe was heralded for its boardfeel, the [ROWLEY] Pro Lite adds state-of-the-art protection without sacrificing the original responsiveness. On the exterior, the sneaker has been outfitted with a RAPIDWELD™ stitchless upper, which includes breathable mesh at the sides and premium suede at the forefoot. On the interior, a LUXLINER™ inner glove keeps the foot secure, while Vans’ ULTRACUSH™ LITE EVA molded sockliner protects the heel from nasty bruises. A technical shoe in all respects, look for the shoe at finer skate shops and Vans’ website for $80 USD.
