Here’s something dope that’s been held under wraps pretty well. Vans Skate has teamed up once again with Fucking Awesome, to deliver what some are saying is the perfect skate shoe. It’s the latest signature model for Vans Pro Anthony Van Engelen, and debuting it as a collab with long-standing relationship brand Fucking Awesome, was definitely the move. The shoe releases Thursday Dec. 10th, at a very few select retailers, like our friends Silo, who were gracious enough to let us steal their photos and write-up for the release. Cop from them, if you plan to get these!

For AVE, “good enough” isn’t good enough, so he worked with the Vans design team every step of the way, through innovative research, design and wear testing to create a shoe worthy of his name. Featured in premium suede with mesh paneling, the all-new AVE Pro is enhanced with Duracap™ reinforced underlays in high abrasion areas and RapidWeld™ no-sew technology that utilizes heat-fused upper panels for an extremely strong bond that’s more durable, flexible, and lighter than conventional stitching.
The pro model also features LuxLiner™ technology, integrating the tongue and internal lining for a more snug and consistent fit, along with a molded heel counter for additional structure and heel lock. The best feature lies in Vans’ all-new UltimateWaffle outsole featuring an internal shank to keep flex in the forefoot, built-in impact cushioning with a full length Ultracush midsole, and unrivaled grip to present a shoe that has a familiar Vans feel and flexibility with the comfort and protection of a modern construction.
