Vans Future Currents UltraRange Neo VR3 Shoe Men Casual Shoes Beige | JJ1-9697

A More Sustainability-Conscious Way to Prepare for the Unexpected

Our Future Currents VR3 collection is a nod to the waves that bridge generations and the deep connections we forge when spending time in nature. When it comes to building a more sustainable world that we can all share, we believe that “the future starts today.” Taking design inspiration from ocean waves, natural surface patterns, and Zen gardens, the Future Currents UltraRange Neo VR3 SF combines our sustainability-conscious, adventure-ready shoe with a fluid embossed pattern and intentional tonal prints. The calming palette seems to come to life on suede uppers, furthering the connection to nature and Vans’ goal to help preserve our world for future generations.

Our team has set ambitious sustainability goals. Big or small, all of our efforts add up to positive change. To earn the VR3 Checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made up of one or a combination of recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials.
