The new outsole features a three-quarter cup with visible impact foam through the outsole plate and medial sidewall, while the upper is made of minimal panels and the one-piece vamp skaters know and love. The upper features a rubberized toecap for added durability and DURACAP™ stitch reinforcement to protect high-wear areas.
