Cher Strauberry is a skateboarder, musician, and artist from Oakland, CA. As a transwoman, she’s a true trailblazer within skateboarding. She’s also a staple in the newly revived Embarcadero scene in San Francisco, as well as one of the founding members of Glue Skateboards. This season, she’s partnered with Vans to create a collection that speaks to her unique style, making a statement in a fashion-forward yet tasteful way. Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the all-new Cher Strauberry Skate Slip-On delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. The repositioned DURACAP™ reinforced underlays and fully redesigned uppers, combined with a new two-part foxing tape that features a deeper knurl pattern on the toe, make the Cher Strauberry Skate Slip-On durable enough to withstand daily skateboarding abuse. For more board control, the new molded heel counter and internal tongue straps lock in your feet. Even the gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been elevated with the SICKSTICK™ rubber compound to deliver more grip and boardfeel. Plus, POPCUSH™ energy return sockliners provide superior cushioning and impact protection while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. Internal heel stiffeners have also been added to provide more support and stability. The Cher Strauberry Skate Slip-On’s updated foxing tape, along with a mix of tonal suede and heavy canvas uppers showcasing Cher’s love of animal prints, gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand. The new checkerboard flag on the side guarantees that you’re getting the best in style and modern skateboarding performance, and custom gold hardware lends this slip-on style a bold yet elevated edge.
