Classic Era lines, modern Wafflecup tech – the Vans Skate Era Wafflecup in Black/Brown is built to take a proper beating without sacrificing board feel.
The Vans Skate Era Wafflecup Shoes in Black/Brown take the original padded-collar Era and rebuild it with Vans’ most advanced Skate outsole to date. You still get that low-profile silhouette and familiar feel on the board, but underneath is WaffleCup construction, blending cupsole support and durability with vulcanised-style flex and control for longer, heavier sessions. PopCush footbeds handle impact and reduce leg fatigue, while Duracap underlays in high-wear areas back up the suede upper so the flick zone lasts way past a standard vulc. Finished in a Black/Brown colour-up with a gum-style look underfoot, it’s a solid everyday skate shoe that looks good thrashed, cleaned up, or anywhere in between.
WaffleCup construction – Hybrid cupsole/vulc outsole gives you extra support and durability without killing that classic Vans board feel.
PopCush cushioning – High-rebound footbeds soak up impact on gaps, stairs and long sessions, helping keep your legs fresher.
Duracap reinforcement – Thin rubber underlays in high-wear areas massively extend life in the ollie and kickflip zones.
Suede upper – Premium suede provides the right mix of durability, flick and flexibility once broken in.
Padded collar & tongue straps – Added comfort plus internal straps and a molded heel counter help keep your foot locked in while you’re skating.
Black/Brown colourway – Moody black and brown combo with a gum-style vibe that works with baggy denim, cargos or chinos straight out of the box.
