Special skate-inspired materials have been applied to sneakers for some time now in attempt to bring longevity to the kicks one skates in. Over the past couple of years, Supra has tried its hand at this method by applying TUF technology to certain silhouettes such as the Skytop, the Vaider and the TK Society. Now, Vans will attempt to incorporate skate-ready attributes on some of its shoes by introducing the “Tuff Tech” Pack.
The Vans “Tuff Tech” Pack consists of three rarely-seen models including the Rowley 99, the Versa and the TNT II Mid Cup. In addition to the newly-incorporated Tuff material, Vans added a 3M reflective design and bright, contrasting laces to each model. In detail the Versa owns green laces, the Rowley 99s feature yellow laces and the TNT II Mid Cup uses blue laces. Lastly, each sneaker in the “Tuff Tech” Pack is finished with a white, vulcanized rubber sole. Look for this trifecta to hit Vans retailers later this year. View the pack in its entirety below.
