Super Lowpro Shoes

• Retro Roots: The Super Lowpro is rooted in the “ultra-athletic” Serio line from the early ‘80s, blending a low-profile silhouette with design cues from retro track runners. Perforated sidewalls, classic midsole, and heritage “Serio” branding on the tongue all nod to its inspiration—the Serio Style 84.

• Easy Comfort: The padded tongue and heel provide comfort and support, while minimal lining offers a soft, barely-there feel. Bridging the gap between its athletic origins and modern lifestyle versatility, this streamlined design is built for everyday wear.

• All-Day Ease: The shock-absorbing EVA midsole softens every step, while OrthoLite® foam adds plush cushioning. Vans’ signature waffle outsole locks in reliable traction.

• Super Lowpro: The Super Lowpro channels a heritage running silhouette from the 1980s, retaining its low-profile athletic shape while modernizing the feature set for comfortable off-track wear.

• Premium Mary Jane Super Lowpro: Mary Jane style, Super Lowpro build. This lightweight remix keeps the strap, ditches the laces, and delivers the same comfort with easy on/off hook-and-loop access. 

Back in the ‘80s, Vans was already deep in skate and surf culture. The Serio line—launched as “Ultra Athletic Footwear”—was our move into the running world, meeting the era’s demand for lightweight performance. The design leaned more track than skate, but it marked a moment of experimentation. Decades later, the Super Lowpro brings that same retro runner ethos into the now, reviving the Serio Style 84 with a modern improvement for everyday wear.
