| Technical Component | Specification Detail |
|---|---|
| Design Heritage | Introduced in 1976 as Vans' first shoe designed specifically for skateboarding, the Era was co-created with skate pioneers Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. An evolved take on the Authentic, it added a padded collar and double-wrap foxing tape to better handle the demands of skating. The Skate Era preserves that foundational skate DNA while integrating modern performance technology for today's technical demands. |
| Upper Construction | Built with sturdy black and dark red canvas and suede uppers with double-wrap foxing tape and a padded collar for enhanced ankle comfort and support, reinforced with DuraCap™ rubber underlays in high-abrasion flip zones for unrivaled durability through the most demanding skate sessions. |
| Underfoot Architecture | Equipped with PopCush™ energy-return sockliner for superior impact cushioning that keeps your foot close to the board while providing maximum protection during heavy landings. |
| Outsole Traction | Features Vans' original vulcanized waffle outsole, delivering the proven multi-directional grip, flexibility, and raw boardfeel that has defined skate footwear since 1966. |
WASH & CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Gently brush away loose surface dirt and grip tape dust using a soft sneaker brush or a dry microfiber cloth. Spot clean the canvas panels with a mild soap solution and a soft brush; clean suede panels carefully using a dedicated suede eraser and brush, avoiding heavy water saturation to keep the nap from hardening. Allow the shoe to air dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight or harsh artificial heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
