The Vans Era is definitely one of the silhouettes that has shaped skateboarding shoes. As the first true Vans skate shoe with a waffle sole and padded heel, it has been around since the mid-1970s — developed in collaboration with legendary skaters like Tony Alva, who already knew exactly what was important in a skate shoe back then.
The Vans Skate Era Classic brings this heritage back to the board — only with modern technology. At skatedeluxe, you’ll find this classic as the Skate Era Classic with a vulcanized sole, direct board feel, and the well-known Vans shoe technologies, so that the Era is just as ready for sessions today as it was in the pools of the 70s!
Vans Skate Era Classic – the vulc classic for everyday skating
The Vans Skate Era Classic has exactly what you expect from a vulcanized skate shoe: direct board feel, plenty of grip, and the iconic Era look. It’s no coincidence that Vans‘ vulcanized waffle sole has been so popular for years — there are few soles that offer such precise board feel when skating while still being so durable.
The Vans Skate Era Classic is equipped with all the standard, tried-and-tested Vans technologies: DURACAP reinforcements, double foxing tape, and a redesigned Waffle Sole 2.0 for more grip and durability in the areas where your flick works hardest. Add to that POPCUSH cushioning and the grippy SICKSTICK rubber compound for comfort and grip with a consistently clear, vulcanized skate feeling.
