A vulcanized outsole and EVA foam underfoot replace the usual cupsole on the Stan Smith Vulc, a skate-oriented build meant to handle grip tape and board feel rather than a hard court. The perforated stripe rows carry over from the standard build, so the silhouette still reads as a Stan Smith at a glance. The heel tab keeps its usual shape but runs Core Black here instead of the classic green, matching the rest of the upper.
This colorway keeps the upper and most of the tooling in Core Black, leaving Footwear White for the outsole as the one break in the palette. It released in 2020 at $80, undercutting the standard leather version's price alongside the switch to a skate-ready sole. The black-on-black upper keeps the perforated stripe rows visible only as a subtle texture change, since there's no contrasting tone to set them apart.
