Vans and Alltimers team up this season for a unique collection of footwear and apparel inspired by dorm life. Served up in all white leather, the Vans x Alltimers Zahba LX VCO Shoe is a low-profile, easy-to-wear, sport-inspired skate shoe made with an eye toward sustainability. Built on an all-new last with comfortable underfoot contours and a refined fit, the Zahba blends sustainable materials with Alltimers’ always classic look and the upgraded performance features that skateboarders demand.
• Alltimers’ all-white leather offers a clean, classic aesthetic. A metal lace charm and subtle embossing enhance the look.
• A DURACAP™ toe cap made of leather reinforced with recycled rubber offers added durability.
• The outsole is made with SickStick™ natural rubber sourced from farms that follow proven sustainable practices with the intention of reducing impacts on people and the planet.
• The cupsole is combined with a flexible dual-density VR3Cush™ midsole made with at least 50% biobased EVA foam partially derived from sugarcane in accordance with ASTM D6866-16.
• The dual-density zone is made of at least 50% biobased foam with an all-new ImpactWaffle™ tread.
• The 98% Recycled Foam Sockliner means additional comfort added on top of a molded midsole.
