Skate Old Skool x Nick Michel Shoes
This season, Vans teamed up with Skate team rider Nick Michel to deliver a head-to-toe collection inspired by his bold creativity, clean style, and humble personality. Elevating the iconic Old Skool, the Skate Old Skool incorporates timeless earth tones and artwork by Nick’s close friend, Sam Acosta, while bright pops of checkerboard inside the shoe add just the right amount of flair.
Iconic style, unique graphics, and the performance benefits skateboarders demand. This is Nick Michel’s collection: built to skate and made to look good, because Nick knows that anything done without style shouldn’t be done at all.
• VANS x NICK MICHEL COLLECTION - Elevating this iconic style with bold creativity, unique graphics, and suede and canvas uppers, Nick Michel’s Skate Old Skool skates great, and looks great too.
• INCREASED DURABILITY - DURACAP™ reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a more heritage look with increased durability and protection.
• FULLY REDESIGNED UPPERS - Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control.
• LEGENDARY GRIP - Our proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet.
• POPCUSH CUSHIONING - Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions.
