One of the Best Yet

Almost 35 years ago back in 1975, iconic skate figures Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta sat down to design the Vans #95, known today as the Era, one of the biggest hits in the company's history. The Era featured a padded collar and along with the fact that it came out in a number of different colour combinations quickly made it the shoe of choice for a whole generation of skateboarders. Today the brand has raised the bar even higher with limited edition styles,patterns and colors,including a lengthy series of collaborations with various bands such as AFI, Bad Religion and Suicidal Tendencies. Recently Los Angeles based street brand UNDFTD collaborated with Vans on a special edition Era model coming out in four different colors featuring both companies logo on the heel. The Era has also been a hit among artists of different musical backgrounds,especially actors and musicians such as Adam Sandler and Chris Brown
