Launching in store this Saturday, February 11, Vans reveals the latest breakthrough in performance skate footwear to introduce the second signature pro model from Vans team rider, Gilbert Crockett. Unlike any other, the all-new Crockett Pro 2 is a union of craft and science, upholding Vans’ revolutionary Wafflecup bottom unit construction, improved fit, and fully-fused Duracap upper reinforcements.

The new Crockett Pro 2 model introduces a new outsole that utilizes the performance advancements of Vans Wafflecup technology, providing the premium support and unrivaled grip demanded by skateboarders everywhere. Gilbert’s second edition highlights new blind-seam suede overlays on the toe cap, maximizing Vans’ Duracap reinforcement capabilities while employing Vans’ proven Ultracush HD drop-in sockliners for the highest level of impact cushioning.

Last week Sunday, Vans South Africa invited a bunch of skateboarders from across Cape Town to try out the new Gilbert Crockett Pro 2 on the streets of the city. The guys spent a day cruising together, starting up on the slopes of Table Mountain and ending up at Civic Centre in the heart of downtown. Check out the edit below and some more pics over at Session.
