Inspired by all eras of skate history, Vans Skateboarding team rider Beatrice Domond’s distinct style feels contemporary and informed by another generation. On her board, Beatrice pushes street skating in a fresh, exhilarating direction that blends style and finesse. She does the same off her board: her incomparable personal style has made her a favorite of the fashion cognoscenti. This versatility makes Domond a perfect choice to introduce the Zahba Mid, the newest member of the Zahba family and a silhouette that, much like Domond, can do just about anything. Featuring ImpactWaffle, Vans’ best impact cushioning outsole design yet, the Zahba Mid puts cushioning where you need it-and keeps it out of the areas where you don’t-so you have the right balance of impact protection and board control to level up your skating. That’s the impact you can see.
