The Era turned fifty this year, and the Skate Era Shoe in Checkerboard Black/White brings the original skate silhouette back with modern hardware underneath the familiar checker canvas and suede upper. Designed by skate pioneers in the late '70s, it was the first Vans built specifically for skateboarding.
Today's version is reinforced for how people actually skate: PopCush footbeds cut leg fatigue over long sessions, DuraCap rubber underlays guard against grip tape wear, and a SickStick rubber waffle outsole maximizes traction. Internal tongue straps and a molded heel counter keep everything locked in place.
