Vans Skate AVE Classic Blackout

Vans Skate AVE Classic Blackout

The Skate AVE Classic is Anthony Van Engelen’s take on the Vans styles he’s always skated. Inspired by staples like the Era, Old Skool, and Slip-On, it keeps things simple with a clean, low-profile build that prioritizes boardfeel and control. Vulcanized construction and PopCush™ cushioning deliver modern performance without changing what already works.
