Vans Wafflecup Technology
Skate shoes either have a vulcanized construction or a cupsole construction. Cupsole is a one-piece sole that is stitched to the upper material of the shoe. Vulcanized construction is glued to the upper and then wrapped with foxing tape. Many companies have taken to designing cupsole shoes with a foxing tape look like you’d find on the midsole of just about any pair of Vans, but that’s mostly because Vans made it an iconic skateboard look. The Authentic, Sk8 Hi’s, and Half Cabs are all good examples of vulcanized shoes with a classic foxing tape look. The benefits of vulcanized construction is boardfeel. The benefits of a cupsole construction is durability and structure. The Vans Wafflecup took the benefits of both styles and fused them into the Wafflecup, skateboarding’s first vulcanized cupsole. Vans shoes with the Wafflecup such as the Gilbert Crockett Pro and the Kyle Walker are a testament to how far Vans and skateboarding have come. No longer do skateboarders have to choose between boardfeel and support - with the Wafflecup, you can have both!

Vans Original Waffle Outsole
The Vans Waffle Outsole, (a.k.a. Wafflegrip) gives Vans Shoes their grip and iconic look. Part of what makes Vans so popular is the classic California look they’ve had since 1966. Popular Vans skate shoes such as the Old Skool, Classic Slip-Ons, and Vans Authentic all have the Vans Original Waffle tread - it’s a staple in skateboarding and a trend every skate shoe brand has to compete with.
Kyle Walker
Kyle Walker seemingly came out of nowhere, but we all know it was Oklahoma. 2016 was his year when his footage in “No Other Way” kind of sealed the deal for him winning SOTY 2016. His ability to make ridiculous kinked rails look skateable, his effortless style and ability to skate just about any spot in front of him have all helped to cement him as one of skateboarding’s best and brightest. 2016 was truly Walker’s year, as it was in ‘16, that Vans released the Kyle Walker Pro, the first Vans to feature the Wafflecup tech. Walker’s skating, style, and trick selection have made him a household name in the skate industry.
