Rowan Zorilla, a professional skater born in 1995, is only 24 years old this year, but he is extremely talented. He has been a member of the Vans worldwide professional skateboarding team since 2013 and was a significant player in the Propeller, the first skateboarding feature produced by Vans. Few had his original, free-riding style, his ability to skate as well as he did in the bowl, and his rapid rise to become the most influential skater of the day.
So this season’s Vans Era Pro pair, the signature Skate line for Rowan Zorilla, has been rolled out without a hitch. The shoes are shot in black and blue, with imitation crocodile leather on the front and back of the suede, and an embroidered Rowan Zorilla signature on the tongue.
The Vans Era Pro USES Duracap technology in key parts, adding rubber reinforcement to the frequently worn parts of the skateboard to make the shoe more durable. At the same time, the UltraCush HD professional insoles are built in to provide professional cushion-shock protection and provide all-weather comfort. Also hidden on the insoles are Rowan Zorilla’s personalized prints and other elaborate details, such as brass reinforcement for shoelace holes.
