The silhouette boasts ImpactWaffle™ cushioning for enhanced performance and durability. Other footwear designs include reimagined Skate SK8 Hi Reissue and Skate Old Skool. Both incorporate PopCush™ cushioning for maximum energy return. Each pair is crafted with Duracap™ and SickStick™ rubbers for durability and grip, alongside water-resistant treatments and robust, outdoor-inspired constructions.
