Vans' Next-Level Skate Shoe Has No Business Being This Clean
Earlier this year, skater Curren Caples released his inaugural Vans signature shoe and hit out of the park on his first go.
When designing the Vans Skate Curren Caples, his ultimate goal was to create what he called "vulcanized perfection." As a result, the skateboarder ended up a well-engineered signature skate shoe wrapped in an ultra-clean design.
Under the hood, the Vans Curren Caples offers plentiful protection and cushioning for rides.
And no signature Vans waffle outsole here, like those on the brand's other skate models. The Vans Curren Caples shoes come with their own custom outsole pattern for better board grip.
On the outside, however, Caples' signature shoe is seriously sleek and somewhat minimalist. The sneakers round off with stylish leather details and a collaborative branding badge on the tongue. It resembles a modernized Authentic in a way.
The Curren Caples shoe has the same stylish yet technical energy as Vans AVE 2.0, Anthony Van Engelen's sequel signature shoe. The AVE 2.0 released as Vans' most advanced model, complete with an incredibly cool, fashion-y look to match.
Funny enough, Engelen and Caples both appeared in a recent ad together, with Engelen basically giving the Vans Curren Caples his stamp of approval.
Debuted in May, Vans' Curren Caples skate shoe is now available on the brand's website in a variety of colorways, including black and off-white.
The price tag? Just 80 bucks for Curren Caples' suave skate shoe. What a steal.
