Rooted in over 30 years of skate shoe design, the Imprint Kevlar® builds on the upcoming Imprint shoe by reinforcing key wear areas with DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber.

Lightweight yet exceptionally durable, Kevlar® fiber is integrated into the toe and heel construction to help the shoe stand up to repeated abrasion and impact-without changing the way it skates.

The Imprint Kevlar® features a double-layer, double-stitched toe cap, heat-welded quarter panels for seamless structure, and a stable cupsole designed for impact absorption and boardfeel. Inspired by hiking and athletic footwear, the silhouette blends trail-influenced design cues with the technical demands of modern skateboarding.
