Rowley Stripes Skate Shoes

Vans is going waaaay back with a fresh twist for their release of the Rowley Stripes, an updated court shoe designed by pro skateboarder Geoff Rowley. The Rowley Stripes is his twelfth signature shoe for Vans, and each style he’s done in the past has been a huge hit – obviously, skate shoes designed and developed by a pro skateboarder are going to be good! Rowley has painstakingly tested and perfected the Vans Stripes, which are built on a next  generation BoardFeel XD outsole and EVA footbed (EVA stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, and is a dense, eco-conscious foam that acts as a shock absorber).

Pro skater Geoff Rowley thought about his early days of skating while he was creating the newest Vans shoe, bringing in what he liked to wear when he first started skateboarding in England at the age of 13.  For this season’s design, he drew a lot of inspiration from his earlier, popular Squares skate shoe, but added some updates to make the look more fashionable.

Rowley has made sure that the new Vans Stripes ideally balance durability, grip and comfort, with a sturdy design that is cushioned yet lightweight. You can find the Vans Rowley in four rich colourways: eggplant with cement accents, black with white, cement with pebble, and black on black. And, attention animal lovers: Tthese new Vans men’s shoes are vegan and animal-friendly, made of synthetic leather and canvas – although you can get the Rowley with reinforced suede uppers.
