Now, celebrating 50 years of Vans Skateboarding, the Skate Era brings it full circle. Rebuilt for modern skateboarding while keeping what first made it iconic, it features added impact protection underfoot, reinforced durability, a locked-in fit, and the unmatched grip of SickStick™ rubber. A molded heel counter increases structure and stability, while internal tongue straps keep everything secure. The padded collar remains—a nod to the Era’s breakthrough design—delivering comfort and support exactly where it’s needed.
From this foundation, Vans moves the legacy forward with the introduction of the Skate Era WaffleCup™, the latest evolution of the franchise, built for what’s next in skateboarding. The Skate Era WaffleCup™ updates the classic low-profile silhouette with Vans’ most advanced Skate outsole technology to date, delivering cupsole-level support with vulcanized boardfeel and flexibility.
Designed for modern skate performance, the Skate Era WaffleCup™ features WaffleCup™ outsole construction, DuraCap™ reinforcement for durability, and PopCush™ impact cushioning for impact protection, engineered to withstand daily wear while preserving the iconic feel of the Era with precision-tuned control you can trust.
