Gratitude Skate Shop posted this new colorway of vans skate era, no snub toe. Not skating vans anymore but I know a lot of people were curious about them bringing the era back.

They don't have that stupid checkerboard tag either

Looks good

They actually do have the checkerboard tags. It’s white/gray, so it’s not noticeable in that pic.

So I shouldn’t believe the vans tag I see with my own eyes?

Unless it is on the back like the old "PRO" used to be, I can't see it either.  Just the plain "VANS" word on all the tags of these in all the pics I have seen, including on the Vans site.  No images of the back of the tag though maybe I can almost see it from a couple of those listings of the top view.

Curious if they are phasing out the checkered tag, or just keeping it more plain for the Era re releases.


* Also looks like they fixed the listing and I can't see the plain black one now, apart from the initial search for ERA which comes up with an error.  At least the other three are still on there.

**  This plain colourway is so good though.

My toes bleed just from thinking of putting those things on my feet again

[Crabby_Bastard]

I tried some on today. They fit my feet much better than I remember the previous Skate Eras. They also felt thinner and floppier than the previous version. I think they will skate great right out of the box but might get to floppy after a week or so.

Edit: Just to clarify, I meant that it has the checkerboard in the background of the Vans tag, not the full checkerboard tag.

That makes sense now.

Almost looked like another pair had the checkerboard on the back of the tag in one pic, which I guess could still be the case.

Not a worry either way.

Thinking about picking up a pair of the classic Rowley's

This thread getting no traction or has this forum been dead lately?

Anyway anyone skating the new Era's vulc or cup?

The halfcab wafflecup is a good time.

I always loved the look of Eras but they killed me in the past

Hoping the new ones are somewhat comfortable

I’m tempted but the new era cup but they look bulkier to me. Love eras. But I’m CURRENtly skating the caples
I’m really enjoying them so far. They feel more solid than the old skools I was skating. The grip is nice too

[Nth syd bear]

I ordered the vulc today will report back

I can't kill my currens but the sole on one is starting to go
No holes anywhere yet been skating themon and off for months

I'm looking forward to some fresh waffle grip on the Eras

The era cup reminds me of AVEs first vans shoe

I perfer this muted checkerboard, looks cleaner.

[c-dock]

Only got to skate them once so far, but the wafflecup Old Skools seem like an all around upgrade from the vulcs with little to no drawback, aside from the heel tab which is purely aesthetic. I personally took a razor blade to it on my pair.

I came here to ask if anyone has tried the waffle cup Eras..but  those would be even better

[Fernzilla]

I got these the other day. They look a little girly but they're really comfortable.



Thought about getting those orange atibas as they're on sale but man they're a little wild

[oyolar]

A white/gum shoe looks girly?

[Nth syd bear]

Since no one else has

The new Skate era vulc .  Weird to type that

Got mine this morning. 
Wearing them around today and skated briefly just to try em
The grip is perfect

I have a pair of the last version of the era with pop cush from 2020 or something
Could not skate in them without pain.

These are much much more comfortable. 

Only flaw I find is you can feel where the duracap ends in the toe box
However it is not bothering me so far

[Petite_Vagues]

I know I’m a year late, but the Currens are my favorite shoe I’ve worn in years. Normally I don’t stick to the same shoe, I like to try different models out but I will be skating these as long as the color ways keep me hyped.

I found a pair of the AVE classics on DePop, I’ll be mixing those into my shoe rotation as well. I also found an unworn pair of the curren grey/black sole but it doesn’t look like the seller is ever going to ship them.

[Stoop Kid 2.0]

When are these dropping?!

[Tiltmode Army Reservist]

I am a fan of the Wafflecup Half Cabs.

I would also be interested in a Wafflecup Sk8-Hi.

You're not gonna believe this (you probably will, ha!) but they did it 7 or so years ago. It was a BMX line version. However, a Sk8-Hi on this latest wafflecup sole would be even better tbh

[DeanMaple]

Is that the Rowan 3?

Os some kind of Rowan 2.5

Vans and their weird soles.

I caved and got some Skate Authentics.  They fit exactly as I want them to, skate the way I want them to, and look the way I want them to.  I should probably buy like 6 more pairs so I don't have to mess with anything else.

Funny you say that, I did the same thing, and felt the same way, so I bought like six more pairs haha

[hiljentaa]

Anyone pick up the new rereleased Eras? The normal vulc ones, not the Wafflecup atrocities.

If so, are they good? Anything changed on em? Do they have tongue straps?

Yes to both, but I've only had them for a few days. The skate Eras feel better than I remember them. I like them a lot. The wafflecups are stupid comfy and I hate that I like them so much.

[F Word]

did not like the look of the era cups but i tried them on yesterday and was sold. Very comfortable and the sole doesnt look as bad once theyre on feet.

[fakiefs180]

Man I hate the popcush insole. It makes the foot sit way too high and far away from ground. Excellent cushion tho. I got some Skate Kyle Walker shoes. They seem fine but I will try to replace the insole with a flatter one.

Just my personal experience, there are millions of people that seem to love the popcush insoles.

Same I have to swap in a flatter insole in every pair of vans I buy. The popcush material is great but having my heels elevated makes my knees hurt. Have some of those sti insoles from an old pair of etnies joslins in a pair of currens now and liking that.
