Why are Eras on hiatus???

Its the best shoe, really missing them from the lineup

[close]

word is they will return next year, possibly with some fanfare as it is 50th anniversary of initial release. definitely annoying to not have them for this reason

My theory is its to better sell the Currens which have the same basic silhouette

[franc]

Skate SK8 Lows and Skate SK8 Mids are a million times better than Skate SK8 Highs. I'm not getting those again. Have Skate Half Cabs as my go to at the moment, would definitely get a few pairs of SK8 Lows and Grossos if they made them again. Or even Crockett Lows but those are hard to find in half decent color ways these days.

I started skating a pair of Half Cab 92s a couple weeks ago and they seem harder to break in than regular Skate Half Cabs. Did you guys experience this too or is it just in my head?

Oh Vans also updated their website and it's terrible now, takes ages for anything to load, it basically doesn't seem to work.

Brown/black and black/black currens. I don’t think they look bad but wouldn’t pay more than $80

[franc]

Black soles... Get us decent colorways for fuck's sake.

Worried about the lack of padding around the ankles but maybe that's not an issue.

Might try a pair at some point (if I read/hear good things about them) but I doubt I'll pay full price for those.

[thehogsniper]

fuck me those colorways suck. no leather! only suede.

[noxiousPond]

The tread for those look like freakin shoes for crews tread for anyone who works in retail and is forced to wear those shitty ass shoes.

If it’s a vulc vans shoe chances are it’s basic as hell and looks like literally every other vans model other than a half cab.

[McBrandt]

For those still wanting Eras, you can still go to the Vans site and get Eras from the Customs section. Typically I was getting all suede Skate Eras that way, but you end up paying $80-$100 for 'em, which is kinda brutal. But if you need your fix, that's the way to go. I don't really skate in them so they last me like a year or so, although the last pair the sole disconnected from the wrapping a bit sooner than a year. I got my Skate Authentics in, and so far they're just as comfy as Eras. No pain yet, but I've only been wearing them around the house.

[concerned_parent]

i've said it before i'll say it again

please stop with the black outsoles

give us the navy canvas curren with a white outsole and i'll buy it when i see it on the sale rack

This is true, but it reminds me of the Rowley SPV’s more.

curren pretty much only skated the eras and slip ons so any shoe of his is def not gonna have any protection

[jgonzalez]

I don’t really get the absence of eras panic. There’s a lot of stock online still and many are also on sale plus authentic are pretty much indistinguishable skate performance and style wise. You guys are actually bummed you can’t pay full price for eras from a most recent season? The appeal to me Vans has is they’re pretty readily available at a decent price so it doesn’t hurt to burn thru them and most the models are pretty similar

[peterpenis]

Im not panicking about eras, I prefer to hurt my feet with slip ons. But I wouldn’t consider the era and authentic equal especially since the skate line. The little padding in the heel area is the difference between a nice simple skate shoe and a torture device trying to eat your achilles tendon

Then padding in the eras was everything. I also ran the skate ones as chillers lace less so they was like slip ons.

[thefriscokid]

Yeah I really need a little bit of padding , the authentic also has a different foxing tape.

Its not a panic man, just a preference. Lord forbid I speak my thoughts aloud on a forum about skate shoes

I cant find any Era Pros in 9.5 but yeah show me the light oh almighty one

I saw someone the other day who didn’t necessarily strike me as a skater, but a vans/old skool wearer, leave having bought two pairs of Currens, so it seems a smart strategy if true

Curren looks fine to me. Just like every NB is influenced by a running or classic silhouette every Vans is going to be a variant on a classic as well. Not a bad thing.

It looks like Bustcrew (Gilbert and his friends) are uploading them to their personal account for posterity's sake.
