Vans Skateboarding is celebrating 50 years of skate culture in style: The iconic Skate Era model is making a comeback, first introduced in 1976 and shaped by skate legend Tony Alva.
Now, the next evolutionary stage begins with the Skate Era WaffleCup™. This collection combines the classic silhouette with cutting-edge skate technology: WaffleCup™ sole, DuraCap™ reinforcement, SickStick™ rubber outsole, and PopCush™ cushioning provide maximum grip, comfort, and durability—perfect for the modern skater’s lifestyle.
Both collections also score points in terms of fashion: The four models – one in classic black and three in other color and material combinations – can be effortlessly integrated into any spring wardrobe. The low-top silhouette flatters the foot shape, while the timeless design makes them a coveted sneaker for every style – whether casual streetwear, skater look, or smart-casual style.
