Pleasurecuff. Waffleflex. Rapidweld. Ultracush Lite. Actionfit. 80s video game porn stars that are still huge in Japan or something more? While any of those would actually make a good L337 gamer tag, they’re actually the names of the features on the new Graph sneakers from Vans. What do they all mean? Open cell foam to caress your heels; treads that promote anatomical movement, stitchless design, mad cushion for your dogs and an elevated heel height. Will any of that actually make a difference when you’re hitting the bar for beers? Probably not, but all we really care about is the fact they’re super light and they look good.
