Vans Men's Skate Era Obsidian Fern

The Era was born in the ’70s with direct input from skaters who needed more from their shoes—comfort, control, and durability. This Skate version brings it full circle. Classic canvas and suede keep the look true to the original, while modern skate tech reinforces it where it matters. From impact protection underfoot to grip you can trust, this is the Era as it was meant to be—designed by skaters, refined for today.
