New Balance 272 Skate Shoe

What does it mean to be “ready for anything”? Wearing the Vans UltraRange Exo Black is when we find out. The Vans UltraRange Exo Black is designed for the unexpected. Increased breathability allows for seamless airflow, while the UltraCrush Lite midsole enhances comfort without sacrificing weight. For grip, the Vans UltraRange Exo Black has a full rubber-wrapped reverse waffle lug outsole. That means a combination of traction and flexibility. When it comes to shoes built for adventures, the Vans UltraRange Exo Black is the starting point.

• FULL SUPPORT - EXO Skeleton provides built-in support across the toes and medial sidewall, with a heel lock for a secure fit.
• ULTRACUSH® FOR COMFORT - The co-molded UltraCush® Lite midsole increases comfort, not weight.
• ALL-TERRAIN GRIP - Full rubber-wrapped reverse waffle lug outsoles improve traction and flexibility.
• INCREASED BREATHABILITY - An UltraCush® tongue with breathability ports offers superior airflow.

The Skate Classics: Built Extra Tough on the Inside for Skateboarding Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the Skate Classics collection delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. Made with classic suede and canvas uppers, the Skate Old Skool gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand.

• 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 new, proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet.

• ICONIC STYLING - A mix of suede, 6 oz canvas, and 10 oz canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Skate Old Skool™.

You are Made For The Elements™. These are your Vans. Vans MTE is the byproduct of a lifetime spent outdoors, because we know that the pursuit of your passions isn’t always accompanied by a fair-weather forecast. Rain, sleet, snow, mud, wind-nothing is going to stand between you and your next adventure. In fact, we like to think these all add a bit of flavor to the experience. It’s why we created MTE in the first place. Activity-inspired, purpose-built, and designed to protect you from the elements, the UltraRange Exo Hi MTE-1 blends the comfort and get-you-there features of the UltraRange family with the protection from the elements that only the MTE franchise can provide. This new design combines the UltraRange’s signature comfort UltraCush™ foam cushioning mid-sole with traction from MTE’s reverse lug outsole, built using Vans’ classic all-condition rubber. It also features enhanced thermoregulation properties, the new HydroGuard Wrap, a breathable Old Skool-inspired upper, and a revamped rubber toe and forefoot shape to provide an optimal fit without sacrificing Vans design DNA. The UltraRange EXO Hi MTE-1 is made with leather, textile, and synthetic uppers. Whether you find yourself bagging snowcapped peaks or braving a rain-soaked commute, you can set off with confidence knowing every stitch of your equipment is intentionally placed to provide ultimate versatility. After all, we know it was never about the destination. It’s about the stories you create along your journey.

• TRACTION - The aggressive UltraRange EXO lug pattern is ready for variable terrain and street performance. Toe picking treads and a higher toe bumper provide grip and protection.
• THERMOREGULATION - The zonal Primaloft® Insulation package uses a high-quality microfiber thermal insulation system to mimic the warmth-providing properties of down, keeping you warm without retaining water.
• MOISTURE MANAGEMENT - The new HydroGuard Wrap provides a splash and puddle guard around the shoe and over the toe, resulting in a reliable, comfortable, breathable waterproofing system.
• COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE - A single-density OrthoLite® sockliner and UltraCush™ EVA midsole with a TPU heel cradle allows air to circulate, helping move moisture away to provide a drier, healthier environment inside your shoe.

Vans has reinvigorated the Classic Slip-On silhouette with comfort technology ComfyCush, giving the Classic ComfyCush Slip-On a first-class fit that feels like walking on a cloud. A co-molded construction of foam and rubber is the perfect combination of both comfort and grip, rubber outsoles offer durability and traction, and new moisture-wicking lining materials are featured throughout the interior of the shoe. While newly constructed 6 oz canvas uppers focus on tongue stabilization, simplified one-piece interiors and added arch support provide an experience where comfort is vital.
