Curren Caples’ take on vulc perfection: clean, technical and ready to get properly skated.

The Vans Skate Curren Caples Shoes in Charcoal / Black are built around Curren’s idea of the ideal vulcanised skate shoe: simple lines, heavy on feel, stacked with hidden tech. The silhouette blends elements of an Authentic, Old Skool panelling and a slip-on style toe for a super clean look on the board. Underneath, you get a custom SickStick rubber outsole with SideStripe tread for extra grip and control, plus a PopCush insole that keeps your feet fresher when you’re jumping down things or pushing for hours. DuraCap reinforcement and a padded collar round it out with proper durability and support, so you can actually skate them hard instead of just looking at them.

• Curren Caples signature vulc: Low-profile pro model designed around Curren’s idea of the perfect skate shoe.
• Charcoal / black upper: Clean leather and suede mix (colourway dependent) that looks sharp on and off the board.
• PopCush cushioning: High-rebound footbed that soaks up impact and stays responsive over long sessions.
• SickStick rubber outsole: Vans’ stickiest compound with a custom SideStripe tread pattern for extra grip and control.
• DuraCap underlays: Reinforced high-wear zones so ollies and flicks don’t kill them straight away.
• Locked-in skate fit: Padded collar and secure lace-up closure keep your foot snug without sacrificing board feel.
