Vans - Skate Old Skool
Vans has been an icon of the skate culture and the Californian lifestyle since its founding in March 1966. An all-new collection, the Vans Skate Series, now provides even more performance and comfort when skating. The new, reworked upper creates improved comfort and a bombproof heel hold without sacrificing board feel in the forefoot. The sidewall finish pays homage to the traditional Vans look, while the new Checkerboard flag adds fresh style. Durability and grip are increased by two-part foxing. Combined with the raised depth of the sole and paired with the SickStick rubber, you will enjoy the ultimate grip. The reworked Duracap shape creates breathability and durability, while the Locked-In-Fit, with straps at the tongue, guarantees a premium hold. New PopCush insoles provide buttery soft landings and endless comfort.
Globe - Tilt

Evergreen features like the cushioned cupsole provide maximum comfort, while the premium uppers ensure the shoe's longevity.

The S-Trac™ outsole profile provides massive grip, while the cushioning insole ensures comfort on landings.
Lakai - Manchester
The Manchester is a straightforward and durable skate icon from Lakai and has been the favourite of many skaters since its introduction in 2007. The model still proves its staying power today - with simple ingredients such as a seamless toe cap, simple panels and a classic, vulcanised construction. Combined with the Lakai flair, this is all it takes to create an iconic skate shoe.
Converse - Chuck Taylor All Star
Designed in 1917 as a non-slip basketball shoe, the All Star by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor actually became a rising star for its outstanding performance on the court. But over the years, something incredible happened: the sneaker with its timeless silhouette and unmistakable patch on the ankle was increasingly adopted by rebels, artists, musicians, dreamers, thinkers and originals, making it ever more popular in these circles. Thanks to the timeless cut and cool colour scheme, they can be combined with almost all everyday outfits - the main thing is casual. Made from lightweight canvas, they are also ideal for warmer days and comfortable thanks to the soft insole.
Etnies - Josl1n
The brand new Etnies Josl1N skate shoe is packed with features to make your day on the board even better. The Flo2 system offers the best ventilation, while a new suede upper provides ultimate durability. Michelin contributes a premium outsole and the ProFoam 1 insole brings you masses of comfort. The new Chris Joslin Signature shoe is rounded off with the cushioning STI Evolution® Foam midsole and elastic straps that keep the tongue where it belongs for even better support.
Cariuma - Naioca
The Cariuma Naioca skate shoe is designed to provide superior performance, stability, and durability while offering a great board feel. The shoe features double foxing and reinforcements under the toes. The upper is made from certified suede, ensuring robustness, while the sole and outsole are made from natural rubber, which delivers excellent grip. The classic herringbone pattern allows for natural movement and adds flex. The cork insole is removable and bio-based, made from Mamona oil, while the shoe laces are made from recycled plastic and organic cotton. To ensure longevity, the upper fabric on the flick point has been reinforced with triple stitching.
The Cariuma Naioca is a durable, sustainably made skate shoe designed for performance and progression.
