Vans Zahba Mid Men Sneakers Black / White | OM1-9518

Engineered for Performance, Designed for the Planet

When impact protection and boardfeel come together, skateboarders have the best opportunity to make an impact. That’s why the Zahba Mid features Vans’ best impact cushioning outsole design yet: the ImpactWaffle. Its unique three-part design—two layers of VR3Cush foam encased in a SickStick rubber outsole— provides the right amount of impact protection in all the right places so that you have the cushioning and control needed to level up your skating. Longer rails, bigger gaps, deeper bowls . . . That’s impact you can see.

The Zahba Mid 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.
