Originally built around Anthony Van Engelen's uncompromising approach to skateboarding, the AVE Classic returns with modern skate tech, premium materials, and Hockey's unmistakably raw point of view. Stripped down and rebuilt for performance - DURACAP underlays, POPCUSH insoles, SickStick rubber, and the iconic waffle sole - this is a collab driven by function, durability, and intent. Available to shop in-store and online at No-Comply Skateshop in downtown Austin, TX, the White colorway is the clean option in the Hockey capsule - minimal, sharp, and built to skate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHITE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: VN000Z97WHT1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 15px 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa; border-bottom: 2px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e\n        \u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; width: 30%;\"\u003eTechnical Component\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: left; font-weight: 600; width: 70%;\"\u003eSpecification Detail\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eCollaboration\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #495057;\"\u003eA collab between Vans and Hockey - the skate brand founded by Jason Dill and Anthony Van Engelen (AVE), two of the most influential figures in street skating. The AVE Classic is AVE's own signature shoe, making this a rare case where the pro's brand and the shoe brand are collaborating on his own model. Hockey's raw, uncompromising aesthetic meets Vans' performance construction and skate heritage.\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eUpper Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #495057;\"\u003eFull-leather upper in a clean White colorway with Hockey-specific artwork and co-branded detailing. The White colorway is the more minimal option in the Hockey capsule - a sharp, clean look that contrasts with the Green\/Black colorway's bolder palette. The leather construction breaks in and wears in over time, developing character with use.\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eDURACAP Durability\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #495057;\"\u003eDURACAP underlays reinforce the highest-wear areas of the upper - the ollie zone, toe cap, and lateral panels that take the most abuse from grip tape and repeated trick attempts. The underlays add a layer of abrasion-resistant material beneath the outer leather, significantly extending the upper's lifespan without adding bulk or stiffness to the shoe.\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003ePOPCUSH Cushioning\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #495057;\"\u003ePOPCUSH insoles deliver maximum cushioning without sacrificing board feel - Vans' performance cushioning compound engineered specifically for the impact demands of skateboarding. The POPCUSH footbed absorbs energy from hard landings and returns it underfoot, reducing fatigue during all-day sessions while keeping the foot close enough to the board for precise control.\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eOutsole Traction\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #495057;\"\u003eSickStick rubber compound and the iconic Vans waffle sole combine for next-level grip and control on grip tape and street surfaces.

Spot clean leather panels carefully with a mild sneaker cleaning solution applied with a soft cloth - wipe gently to preserve the leather finish and avoid soaking the DURACAP underlays. For the White colorway, treat with a leather protector spray before first wear to guard against staining. Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight or high heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-top: 25px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/collections\/vans-skate-skateboarding-shoes-austin-texas\" title=\"Vans Skate Shoes\" style=\"color: #000; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eShop the full collection of Vans Skate Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e online or \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/@30.2764585,-97.7494627,17z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Get directions to No-Comply Skateshop\" style=\"color: #000; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003evisit us in-store at No-Comply Skateshop in downtown Austin, TX.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vans","offers":[{"title":"M8=W9.5","offer_id":47769439633593,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-8","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M9=W10.5","offer_id":47769439699129,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-9","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M9.5=W11","offer_id":47769439731897,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-9.5","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M10=W11.5","offer_id":47769439764665,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-10","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M10.5=W12","offer_id":47769439797433,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-10.5","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M11=W12.5","offer_id":47769439830201,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-11","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M11.5=W13","offer_id":47769451987129,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-11.5","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M12=W13.5","offer_id":47769439862969,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-12","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M13=W14.5","offer_id":47769439895737,"sku":"VN000Z97WHT1-13","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2919\/3396\/files\/vans-skateboarding-hockey-skateboards-skate-ave-classic-vcu-skateboard-sneaker-white-black-VN000Z97WHT1_HERO.webp?v=1784053016","url":"https:\/\/nocomplyatx.com\/en-gb\/products\/vans-x-hockey-skate-ave-classic-vcu-skateboarding-shoe-1","provider":"No-Comply Skateshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
