Vans Skate Old Skool 36 + Atiba (Solar)

The Vans Skate Old Skool 36 + Atiba (Solar) shoe represents a collaboration merging classic Vans styling with enhanced skate performance and unique design elements. This iteration builds upon the traditional Old Skool silhouette, incorporating features tailored for modern skateboarding. The upper construction utilizes a combination of durable suede and canvas materials, chosen for their abrasion resistance and structural integrity. Reinforcements in high-wear areas, such as the ollie pad and toe cap, contribute to increased longevity and protection against skateboarding stresses.

Performance enhancements include the reinforced DURACAP™ underlays in high-abrasion areas. This ensures prolonged durability and resistance to wear and tear. The shoe incorporates PopCush™ sockliners, providing superior impact cushioning and energy return, promoting extended skate sessions with minimized foot fatigue. The vulcanized construction adheres the sole to the upper, delivering optimal boardfeel and control. A modified tread pattern on the sole enhances grip and traction, essential for precise board maneuvers.

The “Atiba (Solar)” designation signifies a specific colorway and design collaboration with artist Atiba Jefferson. Beyond aesthetics, this model retains the core functionality and construction quality expected from the Vans Skate line. The design incorporates visual elements unique to the collaboration, while the build adheres to Vans' rigorous standards for skateboarding footwear, offering a blend of style and performance functionality suitable for both recreational and professional skateboarding.
