The history of the Vans Era
The Vans Era skate shoe was originally designed by skateboarding legends Tony Alva and Stacey Peralta in 1976, and was made famous by southern California's infamous misfits and backyard pool riders, the Dogtown Skate Crew. Today the Vans Era is one of Vans' most popular skateboarding shoes, favored by skaters, surfers, and action sports fans the world over. The Vans Era boasts a low profile silhouette that comes in a wide range of materials and unique color combinations. The Vans Era features Vans' classic extra-grippy vulcanized "waffle sole" that provides the perfect amount of control and board feel, no matter what type of terrain you're riding. The Vans Era has been endorsed by many of the Vans' team riders as their favorite skate shoe, and was recently featured in a Spitfire and Vans collaboration series, as well as a custom Max Schaaf pro rider colorway.
