All-terrain wrecking ball and Vans & Fucking Awesome pro Elijah Berle just got his first signature model, the Berle Pro. As you’d expect from Vans and Berle, the minimalist shoe features a utilitarian design conceived for the sole purpose of skateboarding. That said, the Berle Pro is not only a brand-new model in terms of appearance, but also in terms of technology: behind closed doors, Vans had been working on a next-level sole technology, WaffleControl, that makes its debut with the Berle Pro. Despite its name sounding like a Weight Watchers hunger suppressant, WaffleControl actually concerns the layout and composition of Vans’ famous Waffle sole and results in increased board feel and grip. Add Vans’ tried-and-tested Duracap and LuxLiner for superior durability and comfort, and you’ve got yourself a great skate shoe. You can buy the Vans Berle Pro at our web shop and at our store in Frankfurt from February 9.
