Don’t Ask for the Perfect Combination of Boardfeel and Support. Demand It.
For Anthony Van Engelen, “good enough” isn’t good enough—he’s barely satisfied with great. He’d only put his name on the most uncompromising, technically advanced skate shoe we’ve ever made, and so we created the AVE to be worthy of his name. If it’s good enough for Anthony, you’re going to think it’s pretty great.

- SUPERIOR GRIP AND CUSHIONING - UltimateWaffle™ construction creates a combination of superior grip, built-in impact cushioning, and uncompromising support and flex.
- LOCKED-IN FIT - The LuxLiner™ tongue and internal liner integration provide the comfortable, locked-in fit that skaters demand.
- CLASSIC GUM RUBBER GRIP - The Van Doren™ Gum Rubber Compound, made of a rubber that offers grip and support, is what attracted skaters to Vans in the first place. This is the Sole of Skateboarding.
- ELEVATED MATERIALS - Made with leather, suede, mesh textile, and synthetic uppers, the AVE looks as good as it feels.
