Vans introduces the Stage 4, skateboarding’s first-ever vulcanized cupsole shoe design! Developed in four testing stages with Vans team riders Gilbert Crockett, Chima Ferguson, Andrew Allen and Chris Pfanner, the Stage 4 Low and Mid styles are the first to offer Vans’ revolutionary WAFFLECUP technology.
WAFFLECUP combines the best of cupsole with its increased support and durability and the superior boardfeel and grip found in a traditional Vans vulcanized shoe. Simply, the best of both worlds.
