Zahba Mid x Beatrice Domond Shoes
Inspired by all eras of skate history, Vans Skateboarding team rider Beatrice Domond’s distinct style feels contemporary and informed by another generation. On her board, Beatrice pushes street skating in a fresh, exhilarating direction that blends style and finesse. She does the same off her board: her incomparable personal style has made her a favorite of the fashion cognoscenti. This versatility makes Domond a perfect choice to introduce the Zahba Mid, the newest member of the Zahba family and a silhouette that, much like Domond, can do just about anything. Featuring ImpactWaffle, Vans’ best impact cushioning outsole design yet, the Zahba Mid puts cushioning where you need it-and keeps it out of the areas where you don’t-so you have the right balance of impact protection and board control to level up your skating. That’s the impact you can see.
