The VANS Atwood Mid delivers a heritage skate shoe style with an enhanced array of design and performance features. The basically suede uppers feature tonal leather details with contrast stripes near the midsole, five matching eyelets on the lace-up and a supportive padded ankle. A woven brand tab is included on the tongue and at the side, and a further rubber branding sits at the back of the heel.
The real pioneer of the sixties explosion of skateboarding specific footwear from the 1960s, VANS has been producing rugged yet stylish ever since. Atwood Mid skate shoes, with their laid back iconic style, now bring all that undying heritage right into the contemporary scene in a mid top version that suggests it may even outrank the well-deserved popularity if its low top brother.
For additional protection, when skating and riding performance requires it, the VANS Atwood Mid's Megathane midsole, coupled with its lightly padded collar will multiply comfort and improve heel bruise protection, whilst the addition of the Achilles notch permits a wider range of movement and is becoming more and more obligatory in tough performance shoes like these.
This mid high skate shoe is completed with a clear woven tongue label, a hang flag, helpfully lightly waxed laces, and the signature classic vulcanised outsole with the original WaffleGrip sole pattern to keep a firm link with the long history of the brand as well as hold fast to the relevant surface.
