Skate Authentic Mid Shoes
Vans and CULT, two BMX industry leaders, reunite this season to celebrate styles that showcase the creative lifestyle behind BMX.
Founded in 2010 by BMX legend Robbie Morales in Santa Ana, California, CULT is best known for their straight-forward, streamlined bike frame designs and high-quality bike parts. This same subtle design aesthetic can be seen on the Vans x CULT Skate Authentic Mid. Delivering an unexpected, mid-top rendition of our performance-focused Skate Authentic, the Vans x CULT collaboration commemorates a longtime partnership between two like-minded BMX brands.
• Vans x CULT collection
• 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 - Suede and 283 gm canvas have been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Authentic.
