The Vans Era was the first shoe designed for skateboarders by skateboarders. Released in 1976 and originally called the Vans # 95, the Era was made popular by the legendary Z-Boys and remains the shoe of choice for skateboarders, surfers and creatives around the world. This season, Vans elevates the classic era and energizes this age-old silhouette with contemporary interpretations. Made with a sturdy canvas upper, the Era also features metal eyelets, padded collars for support and flexibility, and waffle rubber outsoles.
