Coming in hot with a new colourway in their most high-tech model of all-time, Anthony Van Engelen's second pro model shoe, the Vans AVE 2.0, is back and better than ever with one of the cleanest colourways we've seen yet. If the release colourways were a little too garish for you then this tasteful Black / Gum number is sure to be right up your street with a clean Black upper and Gum sole for a timeless spin on this modern classic. Find out more below!

Vans AVE 2.0 Construction

While AVE might not be the most high-tech skater - opting for speed, power and classically-trained hammers instead of excessive flip-in, flip-out manoeuvres - and Vans might not traditionally be the most high-tech skate brand - known more for their iconic lo-fi silhouettes like the Era, Authentic and Old Skool - the Vans AVE 2.0 is one of the most advanced skate shoes on the market right now, featuring all the finest innovations Vans has to offer for long-lasting, next-level performance.

Vans AVE 2.0 Skate Shoes (Black / Gum) with shoe box

Possibly where the shoe stands out the most, the Vans AVE 2.0 features a truly one-of-a-kind, multi-panelled upper featuring Vans' groundbreaking Rapidweld construction which features no exposed seams to help prevent blow-outs for maximum durability. Complete with a suede heel and toe box for long-lasting flick alongside mesh side panels for added breathability, the upper is reinforced with a Duracap rubber underlay for an extra layer of protection if the upper eventually goes through.

Likewise, the sole is also packed full of the finest tech for long-lasting impact protection and support (which also translates to top-tier comfort) - everybody knows AVE goes hard and the AVE 2.0 is built to handle everything he can throw at it. Featuring a cupsole construction with Vans' beloved UltraCush midsole for cushioning and support, the shoe also benefits from a clear TPU insert in the midfoot for lightweight and long-lasting support while also letting you get a peek at the shoe's internal construction to see just how tech they really are.

On top of this, the outsole features Vans' innovative UltimateWaffle construction which improves on their iconic Waffle sole with a reinforced tread in high-wear areas for added durability while still remaining flexible to maintain boardfeel. The Vans waffle sole has long been celebrated for its legendary grip but they've taken it up another notch with their new-and-improved SickStick rubber compound for the finest grip and durability that money can buy.

Vans AVE 2.0 Black / Gum

While the first few colourways of the AVE 2.0 reflected the high-tech nature of the shoe with futuristic colour schemes, Vans have stripped things back for this drop with an all-time classic colour combo. Keeping things clean, the Vans AVE 2.0 Black / Gum feature an all Black upper, including a tonal Black side stripe for some subtle branding, alongside a tasteful Gum sole. It's a classic for a reason.
