Vans x Sesame Street The Lizzie Shoes
With a signature mix of laughter and learning, Sesame Street has been helping kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder for five decades. Rigorously researched and deeply inclusive, Sesame Street has become the most-watched children’s program in history-and is arguably the most impactful. This season, we invite you to join Vans on the friendliest street in the world with a head-to-toe collection that celebrates a place where every monster, bird, grouch, and human belongs.
Featuring familiar Sesame Street characters with an Off The Wall twist, the Lizzie Sesame Street blends a vibrant color palette and smile-inducing artwork with Lizzie Armanto’s groundbreaking skate shoe. Tonal embroidery of Sesame Street characters pairs with pastel lining around the ankle and furry shoelaces, while the furry “L” for Lizzie eyelet charm is inspired by Sesame Street’s famous alphabet skits. So share skateboarding with the ones you love, and meet some new friends along the way as you skate down Sesame Street with Lizzie Armanto and Vans.

FEATURES
• SUSTAINABLY CONSCIOUS MATERIALS - The all-new upper (the quarter panel, tongue, and lining) is made from 100% organic renewable cotton that regrows as we use them
• UNIVERSAL FIT: This all-new performance fit was designed by Lizzie to meet the needs of a wider range of skateboarders. The stretch tongue straps offer added lockdown and tongue stabilization.
• BOARDFEEL AND IMPACT PROTECTION: Made using VR3CUSH™ foam, a 70% biobased PU foam (Fates™) partially sourced from plants per the ASTM D6866-16 reference standard, The Lizzie offers a new, lower-profile sockliner that provides the boardfeel and impact protection you demand.
• LEGENDARY GRIP: A brand-new bottom plate design utilizes forefoot flex grooves, zonal waffle lugs for durability and support, plus SickStick™ rubber (a compound made of 60% natural rubber harvested from trees) paired with a micro-waffle pattern, and gives you the grip you expect from Vans with a broken-in feel right out of the box.
• DURABILITY: DURACAP™ reinforcements in high-wear areas, plus a thicker 3D molded DURACAP™ toe cap, provide extra durability.
