Rowan Zorilla's relaxed, fluid style and remarkable adaptability to any spot have helped redefine the future of skateboarding. In collaboration with Rowan, Vans developed the Rowan 2, an evolution of his first signature skate shoe. This updated model enhances both style and functionality, supporting Rowan's drive to push the limits of the sport. Inspired by vintage court shoes, the Rowan 2 features ImpactWaffle technology, combining Vans' dual-density impact cushioning with SickStick rubber for outstanding impact protection without compromising boardfeel.
IMPACTWAFFLE: The Rowan 2 evolves ImpactWaffle technology by pulling it further into the forefoot of the shoe for even more impact protection, without sacrificing boardfeel.
SICKSTICK: The Rowan 2 SickStick rubber cupsole features a zonal tread design in the forefoot for enhanced grip and board control, with a reversed waffle tread pattern in the heel to increase the longevity of the shoe.
DURACAP: Exposed Duracap on the uppers for maximum durability against wear and tear.
SOCKLINER: An additional layer made of 98% recycled foam has been added on top of a molded midsole for added comfort.
SUSTAINABILITY-CONSCIOUS MATERIALS – Recycled and natural materials were used at the upper, including leather, suede, organic cotton, and recycled PET polyester. Vans leather products support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group.
