Originally designed by skateboarding legends and Z-Boys Tony Alva and Stacey Peralta in 1976 and formally known as #95, the Vans Era skate shoe was was made famous by Southern California's infamous misfits and backyard pool riders, the Dogtown Skate Crew. Today this classic shoe is still one of the most popular skateboarding shoes, favored by skaters, surfers, and action sports fans the world over. Boasting a low profile silhouette that comes in a wide range of materials and unique color combinations, the Vans Era features the 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. Endorsed by many professionals and team riders as their favorite skate shoe, the Vans Era was recently featured in a Spitfire collaboration series, as well as a custom Max Schaaf pro rider colorway.
