AVE - a living legend on the board

Few pros manage the difficult balancing act between technical switch skating and robust street skills on crusty terrain as terrifically as Anthony Van Engelen. The now 40-year-old ripper has built up a real legacy over the years, which really took off with Alien Workshop's legendary Photosynthesis video and is far from over even after a SOTY title. It's therefore no wonder that AVE is blessed with the best signature model from a skate shoe giant from California!

Vans AVE 2.0 – AVE's latest pro model is a stylish, functional milestone

The AVE 2.0 from the outside – a futuristic yet simple look

The Vans AVE 2.0 is an outstanding skate shoe that catches the eye with its unique appearance. Anthony van Engelen designed this shoe model to have a sleek look without bulk or puffiness. Instead, it features a slim, minimalist silhouette, which provides an optimal board feel.

The material used in the shoe is striking – the sides, heel area and tongue are all made of mesh, which raises breathability to a new level. This also creates the modern, sporty aspect of the AVE 2.0. Two design details particularly emphasise this impression. Firstly, the eyelets of the laces are attached to the suede front area, making it clearly distinguished from the rest, Next, it offers a heel, which pleasantly blends into the overall design of the AVE 2.0 thanks to the uniform colour scheme.

The overall design of the AVE 2.0 has a new look thanks to the combination of materials used and the cup sole with a colour-contrasting middle section. Vans has eliminated any externally visible seams. The combination of futuristic, technical elements and the simple, stylish look of the Vans AVE 2.0 complement each other perfectly. AVE's latest pro shoe is a real eye-catcher – on and off the board.

The AVE 2.0 from the inside – all the technologies Vans has to offer combined in one shoe

From the UltimateWaffle sole to the ULTRACUSH footbed, RapidWeld and DURACAP process – the Vans AVE 2.0 utilises all the technologies especially developed for skate shoes, whereby some essential areas are reinforced with the DURACAP. Thanks to RapidWeld, the different parts of the shoe are joined together using heat, which eliminates external seams that could rip. The UltimateWaffle sole and ULTRACUSH footbed provide improved cushioning and at the same time guarantee a high level of grip on the sole. In a nutshell, the AVE 2.0 is one of the best shoes tailored specifically for skateboarding.

There's not much to say about Anthony van Engelen. Having already impressed in absolute classics such as the DC Video and Photosynthesis, AVE has finally arrived on the skateboarding Olympus with his part in Alien Workshop's Mindfield. Thanks to Vans Propeller, he became Thrashers Skater Of The Year in 2015. After turning 40, he made multiple appearances in videos promoting his brands Fucking Awesome and Hockey.

The secret to AVE's enduring talent for delivering impressive skateboard parts lies in all his doings – his skating is incredibly powerful and at the same time demonstrates an inimitable finesse. He also manages to reinvent himself in nuances from video to video without losing what we all love about his skating. All this, paired with perfectly matched music in his skating clips, makes AVE a legend.
