The Vans Skate Era shoes are a modern reinterpretation of the iconic 1970s model, created by skaters and for skaters. The classic canvas and suede upper harkens back to the original, but has been updated with modern technologies that enhance durability, cushioning and board control. A padded collar provides comfort while riding, while internal tongue stabilizing straps keep the foot in position. The PopCush insole takes care of impact protection and reduces leg fatigue, while DuraCap reinforcements protect the shoe in the most abrasion-prone areas. The SickStick rubber sole with waffle tread ensures maximum traction and boardfeel, while the vulcanized construction preserves the original character of the Era model. It’s a shoe that combines skate heritage with modern performance.
