Vans Skate Grosso Mid Shoes. Beloved Vans family member and skate legend Jeff Grosso’s impact on skateboarding is without rival. There was nothing Jeff wouldn’t do to uplift skateboarding and the people in it. To honor his legacy, and ensure that future skaters understand the important role he played in shaping skateboarding’s history, we created the Skate Grosso Mid. It’s got everything you need to up your game, so get out there and make Jeff proud. DURACAP™ reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a more heritage look with increased durability and protection. Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control. Our new, proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet. Our best cushioning and impact protection. POPCUSH™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. A mix of suede and 10 oz canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining a classic heritage aesthetic in a silhouette inspired by the legendary Jeff Grosso. Imported.
