Vans Skate Mixxa Shoes. The Skate Mixxa is heavily influenced by a time when skateboarding welcomed some of the most bold and expressive footwear. Pulling design references from the Vans archives to create a new reminiscent skate silhouette that features oversized ollie panels combined with DURACAP underlays that add a splash of color while providing ultimate durability, this mixed-material shoe brings todays progressive technology back to the 2000s. Vans' proprietary SickStick gum rubber compound provides longevity and best-in-class grip, and is equipped with an EVA sockliner for premium underfoot comfort. The stitched-on cupsole and protective T-toe design offer additional forefoot coverage where you need it most. Exposed DURACAP underlays add a hit of color alongside an oversized ollie panel, providing increased upper durability. Heavily influenced by the early 2000s style nostalgia, the Mixxa boasts wide laces, a puffy collar and padded tongue, and a bold colorblocked outsole with retro branding. The mixed material upper is made of leather, suede, synthetic, and breathable mesh materials to match the bold aesthetic. Imported.
