Vans has long been known for its classic skate shoe silhouette, the Old Skool, and now it's adapted the model to offer consumers more versatility with the release of the UltraRange EXO collection.
They're designed to provide long-lasting comfort and support, making for the ideal all-purpose sneaker. In addition, the UltraRange EXO boasts more traction on the soles, as well as a reinforced upper that makes it more durable. Despite the additions of the supportive UltraCush Lite midsole and the built-in EXO skeleton, the sneakers are breathable and maintain a lightweight feel. The breathability is further enhanced by the UltraCush tongue, which allows for more airflow.
The Vans UltraRange EXO is available from participating Vans retailers, and from the brand's web store.
