Alltimers and Vans Throw Convention Out the Window
The new silhouette arrives with a subtle debossed Alltimers martini logo on the heel and a Vans debossed logo on the tongue as an ode to the partnership between the two brands. Other collaborative details include Vans Skateboarding x Alltimers co-branded laces in three colors, red, blue, or silver, as well as a molded hangtag and Bacchus imagery on the footbed that nods to the matching apparel capsule. Built with fresh materials and new technology, including the new supercharged ImpactWaffle™ construction, the Zahba speaks to the brands’ mutual commitment to sustainability.
Regenerative, renewable, recycled materials make up at least 30% of the shoe’s construction. The dual-density midsole is made with EVA foam partially derived from plants. The new outsole features SickStick™ rubber, which is made with at least 55% responsibly sourced natural rubber obtained from sources that follow proven sustainable practices to reduce environmental impacts.
The chosen materials also provides perfect flexibility and board feel. The upper is made of minimal panels and the one-piece vamp skaters know and love—a rubberized toecap for added durability and DURACAP™ stitch reinforcement to protect high-wear areas.
