Rowan 2 Shoes
A Sustainability-Conscious, Progressive Evolution of the Rowan
Rowan Zorilla’s loose, free-flowing style and uncanny ability to adapt to just about any spot has contributed to reshaping the way future generations think about skateboarding. With that in mind, Vans worked with Rowan to create the Rowan 2, an evolution of his first signature skate shoe with upgrades to both style and function to help Rowan continue pushing progression. The Rowan 2 takes design cues from vintage court shoes and is built with ImpactWaffle technology-a combination of Vans’ dual-density impact cushioning and SickStick rubber, providing exceptional impact protection without sacrificing boardfeel.
• IMPACTWAFFLE: The Rowan 2 evolves ImpactWaffle technology by pulling it further into the forefoot of the shoe for even more impact protection, without sacrificing boardfeel.
• SICKSTICK: The Rowan 2 SickStick rubber cupsole features a zonal tread design in the forefoot for enhanced grip and board control, with a reversed waffle tread pattern in the heel to increase the longevity of the shoe.
• DURACAP: Exposed Duracap on the uppers for maximum durability against wear and tear.
• SOCKLINER: An additional layer made of 98% recycled foam has been added on top of a molded midsole for added comfort.
• SUSTAINABILITY-CONSCIOUS MATERIALS - Recycled and natural materials were used at the upper, including leather, suede, organic cotton, and recycled PET polyester. Vans leather products support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group.
The Rowan 2 was designed with sustainability in mind and qualifies for Vans’ Checkerboard Globe Logo. When you see the Checkerboard Globe logo, know that this product follows strict design and material guidelines intended to reduce our environmental impact- at least 30% of these products are made up of one or a combination of recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials.
