The Vans Rowan may seem like a simplistic skateboarding sneaker, but up-close is where you really get a feel for the materials and small-yet-effective details. Here, the Rowan is constructed of a canvas, suede, and leather upper in a golden shade of yellow, alongside a white Vans sidestripe. It's primed for skating with reinforced DURACAP underlays, a Vans' proprietary SickStick sticky gum rubber outsole, and PopCush footbed that protects against impact. With valuable input from Vans pro rider Rowan Zorilla (it's his first signature style with Vans), this sneaker is most definitely lightweight and skateable out of the box.
