Vans Rowan 2 – Black/White/Black

Hailing from Vista, California, riding for Supreme and Baker, appearing in several memorable videos and also a Thrasher cover star, Rowan Zorilla is a key member of the Vans Skate team. Now he continues to grow that chapter with another signature shoe and this time a clothing capsule to accompany it.

The Rowan 2 is an evolution on his first model featuring significant upgrades in technology and production and upgrades in style and function. It takes design cues from vintage classics while still retaining that iconic look of his first model.

In the Rowan 2 the ImpactWaffle technology has been moved further into the forefoot of the shoe to add even more impact protection without affecting boardfeel, while a 98% recycled VR3 Cush insole adds even greater comfort. For durability they rely heavily on Vans Duracap rubber reinforcements which has been exposed slightly on the Rowan 2 so you can see where that added protection is.

Lastly Vans SickStick gum rubber compound tajes care of grip and durability, it is uniquely calibrated into the sole to ensure enhanced grip and board feel.
