abrasion resistant overlays protect against surface friction

The Zahba is a silhouette created to do it all, with durable suede uppers and Duracap reinforcement in those high-wear areas increasing durability and adding extra protection. This blacked out colourway of the Zahba Mid pairs Black and Pewter for the uppers with an all black outsole, tongue and sidestripe to give it a proper stealthy look.

Underfoot the Zahba boasts some of Vans most up to date protection technologies, from the VR3Cush midsole that's made from at least 50% biobased EVA foam partially derived from plants for impact protection where it's needed.

The Vans Zahba Mid also features ImpactWaffle, Vans best impact cushioning outsole design adding even more impact protection and the cupsole features a zonal tread pattern enhancing grip and traction while SickStick rubber keeps your feet planted to your board.
