When professional American surfer Pat Gudauskas wanted a pair of shoes he could use for everything as he traveled the world chasing waves he turned to Vans. Enter the Vans UltraRange, sneakers built for adventure around the world. At first glance, the UltraRange looks a bit like a combination of the popular Old Skool and Authentic models, which makes it a familiar silhouette that’s easy to slip into the rotation. Under the hood, the shoe is completely different with a new UltraCush Lite midsole, LuxLiner sock-fit, Rapidweld details and Pro Vulc Lite construction that make this one of the comfiest and most durable pairs of shoes you’ll ever wear. The Vans UltraRange is available in five different colorways: black/white, black/black, frost gray, madder brown, and a special Nathan Florence edition in gray/black. These shoes hold up to the ridiculous adventures that Gudauskas and the rest of the team have used them for, so they’re going to do just fine when the rest of us take them on our adventures.
