DOWN-TO-EARTH, FASHION-CONSCIOUS, REVOLUTIONARY: LIZZIE ARMANTO . Down-to-earth, fashion-conscious and revolutionary skateboarder Lizzie Armanto represents "girl power" personified. Travelling the world, she infects others with skateboard fever and promotes youth cultures of all kinds. This season, Vans has collaborated with Lizzie on a collection that celebrates her creativity with apparel and footwear that is as unique as she is. The new The Lizzie Skate Shoes not only offer you skate performance, but have been made from environmentally friendly materials to reduce the ecological footprint.Eco-constructionAll Lizzie textiles are made from at least 50 % recycled, organic or renewable materials. This reduces water and chemical consumption. The Ecocush midsole ensures soft landings and the foam, made from 70 % bio-based materials, is also much better for the environment than conventional cushioning.To give you enough grip, the Lizzie comes with SickStick. A rubber that is made from natural rubber instead of petroleum-based rubber and is therefore much more compatible with the environment. Skate constructionThe legendary Vans side stripe is also present here for authentic Vans style, while Lizzie Armanto design details add the skater's personal touch. The slightly raised sole gives you a registered feel from day one and the SickStick outsole, combined with Lizzie's favourite Micro-Waffle tread pattern, provides endless grip. The profile of this skate shoe was kept slightly lower at Lizzie's request to increase board feel. The Duracap side stripe and Duracap toe cap dramatically increase the Lizzie's durability. This shoe offers legendary Vans style, paired with the highest performance and environmental protection in mind.
