VANS ERA The Vans Era is a skateboard sneaker designed by Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta in 1975, originally known as the Vans #95. The sleek silhouette was heralded by skateboarders at the time for its ankle area padding and no-slip bottom. The Vans Era continues to be a popular lifestyle choice and a perennial favorite in the Vans catalog. Click in for the most up to date Vans Era release dates, information, and colorways.

Regular Sneaker News readers may have noticed a recent mini-trend involving camouflage print Vans sneakers. It turns out that this pack extends the popular concealment pattern to smaller sized sneakerheads as well, as the Vans Camo Classics collection brings forth styles for adults, kids and toddlers. The Vans Half Cab and Era see their camo maximized on the smaller sizes with a bit more emphasis on black suede for the adults, so check them all out below and find yours available at select retailers.

The Vans Era is an indispensable silhouette, one of the relatively simple classics that you’d expect to eventually take on this ‘concealed’ look. And in fact, there have been two other significant camouflage Eras, but this new 59 (a suffix denoting this build’s heel tab) is the subtlest yet. Crafted mostly in black suede, this new release adds brass eyelets and four-color camo to the tongue and heel for an earthy but inviting look with some extra matching capacity, one that’s available now at the Vans DQM General Store and other skateshops.

Vans hasn’t authored all that many splatter print sneakers over the years (Supreme’s 2009 Era and Half Cab combo comes to mind), but with visually engaging patterns all the rage in fashion and footwear these days, it’s a good time to revisit the ‘messy’ look. The Vans Era ‘Overspray Pack’ brings together three designs with a trio of speckling layers each: white, pink and black pairs whose ‘on-paper’ description does them no justice and demands a closer look after the jump. These are available now at select skate retailers and straight from Vans.

The Vans California Collection has used quite a bit of suede over the past four years, but have any of those releases been as good as this quintet? It’s easy to get caught up in the moment when a dope new release hits, and when you multiply that times five, the Vans California Era 59 and Mid Skool ’77 make quite an impression. The variety of welcoming colors are all very accessible and the kind of model that makes for a great every day shoe, so have a closer look below and look out for these at select retailers later this month.

Horween Leather brings out the utmost beauty in Vans Vault’s classic skate silhouettes. Thank goodness the hits keep coming, because what once looked like a one-off collabo pack was far too good to keep limited to a single round. There are just too many dope options all within the timeless/classy range, and by adding some subtle color, the Horween x Vans Vault Black/Navy pack is a quartet you can’t miss. The Vans Vault Era LX and Piragua LX get steely blue treatments and blackout styles with texture galore thanks to plenty of pebbled leather. Let us know which of these low-key styles catches your eye after you’ve seen them all below and look for these now at select retailers.

Vans is probably the all-time leader when it comes to eye-catching patterns put to use on sneaker silhouettes, so for a print as common as leopard rosettes, you know they’ve already issued several variations. One of this year’s standouts was a rainbow-backed Authentic, and here we see it can still perform admirably well with the basic nature look. In fact, these are quite similar to a pair that released alongside a grey base this summer (only significant difference being the eyelet color), but coming up for spring, they’ll be joined by the Vans Era and Old Skool, all with black trim and depicted further after the jump below.

Earlier this year, a French fashion label with a vaguely Japanese-sounding name came through with a bunch of patterned collaborative designs. Rounding out 2012, we see this Lincoln/Kennedy arrangement flipped, as Japan’s Adam et Ropé teams up with Off the Wall on a new style based on traditional beach outerwear. The Adam et Rope x Vans Era features a navy blue mix of suede and ‘salt and pepper’ beachcloth atop your choice of an all-white or checkerboard-walled Waffle sole. This subtle four-pack is likely to remain an Asia exclusive, so have a closer look below and let us know how they compare to Vans’ best stateside releases this year.
