When Vans' AVE 2.0 sneaker debuted, it was the brand's most advanced skate shoe yet. Anthony Van Engelen's signature shoe not only pushed the boundaries of skate tech but style as well.

Before even diving into a sneaker's specs, the first thing you notice is its looks and, especially, that handsome indigo color scheme. Because Vans' newest AVE 2.0 shoe certainly looks good, especially in this new "Estate Blue" colorway.

The latest AVE 2.0 has been perfectly dyed in this oceanic blue color, resulting in this extremely tasteful, faded look for the skate shoe.

It's almost too nice for thrashing, in fact. Almost.

But the signature skate shoe has all the technical fixings (and then some) ready for a session of shredding.

That includes extra durable underlays, an ultra-cushioned footbed, and even cushier sticky waffle sole for the superior board grip and comfort you expect from Vans.

Vans' sneakers have never been more stylish.

In recent years, the brand has delivered several fashion-forward takes on its most classic silhouettes, creating everything from Chanel-inspired Old Skools to post-skate premium mules.

The Vans AVE 2.0 is an extension of this design approach, offering smooth suede and knit uppers decorated in undeniably nice-looking color schemes like this "Estate Blue" take right here. None of the predecessors have ever looked quite this fine, though.

Speaking of which, the new blue AVE 2.0 sneakers are now up for grabs on Vans' website for the model's usual price of $120.
