It’s you, your skateboard and the world. So go out and make it yours." - Jeff Grosso
One of the most beloved members of the Vans family and skateboarding legend, Jeff Grosso, had an unparalleled influence on this discipline. Anyone who talked about skateboarding with Jeff was overwhelmed by his genuine passion for the sport, and his support for the community, especially for the younger generation, came from the genuine belief that skateboarding belonged to the kids. There was nothing Jeff wouldn’t do to bring this sport out and support his fans.
To honor Jeff’s legacy and ensure future skaters understand the important role he has played in shaping the history of this discipline, Vans launches a new iconic model: the Skate Grosso Mid leather. The completely redesigned DURACAP# reinforcements and upper, combined with a new two-part ribbon with a deeper knurled pattern on the toe, make the Skate Grosso Mid leather strong enough to withstand everyday skateboarding. The shaped buttress on the heel and the inner ribbon tab ensure better skate control and a perfect fit. Vans' famous rubber-resin outsole has also been improved with the SickStick² compound, to offer greater grip and boardfeel. In addition, the energy-returning POPCUSH insole offers maximum cushioning and impact protection, while reducing leg fatigue during longer skateboarding sessions. Internal heel reinforcements have also been added for added support and stability.
The upper of the Skate Grosso Mid in leather and canvas offers the iconic look you are looking for, with all the performance advantages required by skaters. And don’t miss out on the new side checkerboard label to make sure you get the most out of modern skateboarding style and performance.
