The Vans Ultrarange

Is it an Old Skool? Is it Sk8-Hi? No, it’s a whole new Vans silhouette!

Design & Comfort

Billed as a sneaker “to get you there” — a shoe built for everyday wear — the Vans Ultrarange is the brand's first collection designed with comfort at the forefront. The Ultrarange isn't a skate shoe; it's made for walking. Traditional Vans silhouettes can sometimes feel a little heavy with a fairly flat sole — great for withstanding the rigours of skating, less ideal for long days on foot.

A little chunkier, with a more classically ‘sneaker-like’ silhouette & midsole, the UltraRange pairs do look a little different to your archive styles. That may take some getting used to for die‑hard Vans fans, but key details remain. Much like other styles, every pair in the Ultrarange collection features the signature Vans branding on the back of the midsole, and many include the “Jazz Stripe” – a hallmark of the Sk8-Hi & Old Skool silhouettes.

The shoes are incredibly lightweight, thanks to newly developed technologies. UltraCush™ Lite foam cushioning runs from heel to toe, paired with a Luxliner™ fabric that includes a seamless inner sock for added comfort. The result is a shoe that feels effortless underfoot — ideal for long commutes, travel days or simply exploring the city without compromise.

Details & Finish

Same but different: the classic Vans waffle outsole has been reversed so the grid tread pattern protrudes, offering improved grip. The inverted waffle also gives the Ultrarange a contemporary twist, marrying performance with a modern, considered aesthetic.

Our men's & women's range comes in a variety of colourways, including autumnal burgundies. Available online & in-store now

Versatile by design, the Ultrarange sits comfortably between casual and considered — pair them with tapered trousers for a minimal look or with relaxed denim for a more laid‑back outfit.
