zahba trainers

Meet the Zahba Shoes: These low-profile, easy-to-wear, sport-inspired skate shoes blend the performance demands of skateboarders with sustainable materials.

The Zahba outsole is made with SickStick™ natural rubber sourced from farms that follow proven sustainable practices with the intention of reducing impacts on people and the planet. The cupsole is combined with a dual-density VR3Cush™ midsole made with at least 50% biobased EVA foam partially derived from plants. Textiles are made with 100% recycled PET or organic cotton. Add in DURACAP™-reinforced panels where you need it and athletic-inspired mesh for a lightweight, breathable upper, and you’ve got the perfect blend of comfort and upgraded performance.
