The skate shoe with next-level impact protection, in a colorway for Zion Wright

The Zahba is the first Vans skate shoe to introduce our new ImpactWaffle™ technology. This technology focuses on midsole construction, which was developed to enhance board-feel while you skate. At the same time, the heel pod insert in this model helps with impact protection. ImpactWaffle™ also features a new outsole geometry with an auxetic pattern which means that it bends better, it flexes better, and it becomes stronger when torqued in any given direction. 

The Zahba was designed with sustainability in mind and qualifies for Vans’ VR3 Checkerboard Globe Logo. Vans VR3 designation follows strict material guidelines with one or a combination of regenerative, responsibly sourced renewable, and recycled materials making up at least 30% of the product. 

This skate shoe is packed with technology that the Vans fam can't get enough of. The outsole is our SickStick™ rubber for maximum grip, while the sustainably-conscious VR3Cush™ footbed offers comfort that you can feel good about. The Zahba also comes with our DURACAP™ toecap for increased durability to protect against wear.
