Introducing VANS WAFFLECUP Construction! The process our Vans SKATE design and development team went through with Gilbert Crockett, Chima Ferguson, Andrew Allen and Chris Pfanner began with a blank slate and resulted in this innovative, ground-up design that fuses VANS ORIGINAL WAFFLE Outsole vulcanization technology with modern cupsole performance. In numerous research and testing sessions skating all terrains, the team kept the focus 100% on function. The result is pure SKATE utility and the introduction of skateboarding’s first-ever vulcanized-cupsole construction platform, the VANS WAFFLECUP.
This breakthrough construction technology combines all the best elements of a cupsole shoe, such as increased support and durability, with the superior boardfeel and grip of a tradition Vans vulcanized shoe. Vans WAFFLECUP construction was uniquely designed entirely by skateboarders to specifically enhance your skateboarding experience. Pure and simple.
