VANS - SKATE ERA (BLACK / LIGHT GREY)

Style / SKU: VN000ECRY631

Reengineered for modern street skating, the Vans Skate Era in Black/Light Grey brings Vans' original 1976 skate silhouette out of the vault and back onto the pavement. First designed by skate pioneers as an evolved, padded response to the Authentic, the Era helped define late-70s skate culture. Updated with Vans' Skate Classics performance features, this low-top classic delivers reinforced durability and excellent board feel for the next generation.

Crafted with a two-texture upper combining durable black suede and light grey canvas, this model delivers timeless contrast with heavy-duty skate functionality. Internal tongue straps lock the tongue in place during heavy footwork, while a molded heel counter and padded collar ensure a structured, non-slip fit. High-abrasion areas are reinforced with DURACAP™ rubber underlays to protect against griptape wear. Underfoot, high-rebound PopCush™ footbeds absorb heavy impacts to fight leg fatigue, resting atop a proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber waffle outsole for maximum traction, flexibility, and board feel.
