The Kyle Walker WaffleCup™ Is Here

The Kyle Walker Pro and Kyle Walker Pro 2 revolutionized skateboarding, bringing pro-level performance to skaters worldwide. Walker was young when he came onto the scene, and now it’s been almost a decade since his first pro model dropped in 2016, so it’s no surprise another installment was necessary to match his trajectory as an ever evolving professional. After nine years, the original Kyle Walker Pro was discontinued. This opened a new door for Kyle Walker, who shared to his socials that “it’s an honor and a blessing to be able to release another shoe, especially one that’s a remastered version of my very first model... This new version keeps the same feel but is more durable, even more comfortable, and has small refinements that make a big difference.”

Yes, the Skate Kyle Walker Wafflecup Shoe is officially here, delivering more grip, support, and durability than ever before, without sacrificing the clean, original silhouette you know and love. WaffleCup technology already offers the best of both worlds for skating: the support and stability of a cupsole with the close boardfeel and reliable grip of a traditional vulcanized sole. Kyle skates hard, so naturally he wanted WaffleCup, but with even more durability and performance. The solution? A reverse waffle tread in the heel offers stiffness and extra rubber where your skate shoe sees the most wear. Further customizations included a thicker sole for stability, a composite shank made from compressed natural fibers for strategic stiffness in the rear foot (plus extra reinforcement).

Keeping in line with the popularity of the last versions, PopCush insoles are kept to absorb impact, keeping your feet comfortable through long sessions, no matter how big the gap or hard the drop. SickStick rubber contributes best-in-class grip, and Duracap rubber underlays in high-wear areas cement that you’ll have this shoe around session after session.

True to Kyle’s gnarly skate style, the Skate Kyle Walker Wafflecup Shoe doesn’t waste time showing off for flair’s sake (though it's definitely not bad looking). A new cut for the heelstay updates ensure this Skate Kyle Walker WaffleCup™ isn’t just updated with new tech, but also with new style. The heelstay and jazz stripe work together to create a modernized version of Kyle Walker’s signature shoe for unmistakable style in the street or the park.

The Skate Kyle Walker Wafflecup Shoe packs a punch with its technical details and skate ability. Designed in close collaboration with Walker to incorporate his professional insights, it’s designed to perform at the highest level, with a locked-in fit, unbeatable boardfeel, and a look that takes you from Oklahoma to California to Skater of the Year, and anywhere else in between.
