vulcanized is when the sole and side rubber is melted on

[dgk1122334455]

lakai select manchester are one of my all tiem favourite shoes

[uuuush]

what does vulcanized mean?

anyone?

[iheartlakai210]

they dont use stiching to attach the soles to the rest of the shoe. i think it uses glue or they heat it till its melts together im not sure tho

[chocolateskater58]

it also the grip on the bottom... i like cup sole better though

[Didrock4life]

word cup sole feels better try the b herman 2's

[10footySkate]

there is not as much padding as other shoes.

[XtraAzianBoy]

it means the rubber is melted on to the shoe

[tubedude1438]

vulcanized is when u have a vans waffle sole situation with the white outer layer glueing the sole on. vulcanized are usually more flexible but they dont last long.

[OlegKostoglatov]

It means that they use heat to bond the rubber parts and the shoe together instead of just glue and stitching. I'm not sure of the whole process like whether they use uncured rubber to start with. Take a look at a pair of old school vans or Converse Chuck Taylor shoes, those are made the same way, have been since 1917.

Yeah Scott J retired and now is a designer,hes been into designing shoes for a while aparantly.Rightly so cause the dudes always been pretty styled out.

[crsle19]

i think when he says new edition, he meant the designers. not the actual lakai team.

[friedpotatochives]

I think maybe he meant new to the shoe designing team, since hes sorta fading out of the whole pro skate thing

[travjo]
