Description
This season we've rethought, revised and rebuilt every little detail of the UltraRange to make it even more sustainable.
These include a moulded VR3Cush™ midsole, lightweight construction, a VR3Waffle™ rubber outsole, and a breathable upper that's designed to reduce production waste compared to traditional Vans cut-and-sew uppers accrues.
The UltraRange VR3 is the manifestation of an idea: it's not about where we're going, it's about how we get there. Our team has set itself ambitious sustainability goals. Big or small, all our efforts result in positive change. In order to receive the VR3 checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made from recycled, renewable and/or regenerative materials.
Composition
UPPER: One-piece knit upper is made from 50% organic cotton, 36% recycled PET, and 14% recycled nylon. -
FOOTBED: The new VR3Cush™ midsole is made of at least 50% bio-based EVA foam, partly from plant sources, according to the test standard ASTM D6866-16. -
OUTSOLE: All rubber used in the VR3Waffle™ outsole (60% of the compound) is regeneratively grown natural rubber sourced from farms that employ agricultural practices that promote biodiversity, improve the water cycle, improve soil health, and/or sequester carbon should. This new rubber compound was developed and engineered to maintain the grip and durability that Vans has been known for since '66.
