“It’s you, your skateboard, and the world. So go out and make it your own.” – Jeff Grosso Beloved Vans family member and skate legend Jeff Grosso’s impact on skateboarding is without rival. There was nothing Jeff wouldn’t do to uplift skateboarding and the people in it. To honor his legacy and ensure that future skaters understand the important role he played in shaping skateboarding’s history, we created the Skate Grosso Mid. This vulcanized shoe has everything you need to up your game, so get out there and make Jeff proud. • INCREASED DURABILITY - DURACAP™ reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a heritage look with increased durability and protection. • FULLY REDESIGNED UPPERS - Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control. • LEGENDARY GRIP - Our proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet. • POPCUSH™ CUSHIONING - Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. • ICONIC STYLING - A mix of suede and 283 gm canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining a classic heritage aesthetic in a silhouette inspired by the legendary Jeff Grosso.
