The Vans Skate Curren Caples brings Curren’s first signature Skate model into the lineup with a build that’s tuned for real performance. The leather upper gives it a clean, durable finish, while DURACAP™ underlays reinforce the areas that take the most wear. PopCush™ footbeds take the sting out of long sessions, and SickStick™ rubber delivers Vans’ grippiest compound to keep you locked onto your board.
The custom SideStripe™ tread pattern boosts control underfoot, the padded collar adds support, and the vulcanized sole keeps boardfeel sharp. Finished with Curren’s signature tongue print and the classic Skate Classics checkerboard hangflag, it’s a pro shoe shaped around the way Curren actually skates.
