Vans Skateboarding builds on the momentum of Wafflecup™ with the introduction of Wafflecup™ Classics—a new platform that brings Vans’ best-of-both-worlds outsole to its most iconic skate silhouettes. Designed for modern skateboarding, Wafflecup™ Classics deliver cupsole support with vulcanized boardfeel for the ideal balance of durability, flexibility, and control.

Team riders Una Farrar, Dick Rizzo, and Willow Voges Fernandes each reinterpret a Vans classic through their own lens, blending personal style with technical innovation. Expanding beyond the Era Wafflecup™, the Fall 2026 collection highlights the Half Cab and Old Skool—two of Vans’ most enduring icons—updated with Vans’ most advanced outsole technology to date.

Each style features Wafflecup™ construction for balanced support and boardfeel, PopCush™ insoles for impact protection without sacrificing feel, SickStick™ gum rubber for next-level grip, and DuraCap™ reinforcement for durability where it matters most.

The Fall 2026 lineup features Una Farrar (Half Cab Wafflecup™), Dick Rizzo (Half Cab Wafflecup™), and Willow Voges Fernandes (Old Skool Wafflecup™), each reimagining their favorite skate classic with the Wafflecup. Every design incorporates unique details and personal touches, bringing added personality and athlete-driven authenticity to the collection.

The Half Cab Wafflecup™ and Old Skool Wafflecup™ are available now at Vans retail locations, select skate shops, and Vans.com.
