Vans Skate Era is Back
The Vans Skate Era Now Available at Pacific Boarder
Some silhouettes never fade—they evolve. The Vans Skate Era is a prime example of a timeless skate shoe reengineered for the demands of modern skating. Built on decades of heritage and refined through real skater feedback, the Skate Era delivers durability, board feel, and comfort where it matters most.
We’re excited to share that Pacific Boarder is now carrying the Vans Skate Era, bringing this upgraded classic straight to our community of skaters who live for concrete, transitions, and clean landings.

Wafflecup™: Board feel Meets Support
One of the standout features of the Vans Skate Era is the Wafflecup™ outsole, which blends the responsiveness of a vulcanized sole with the impact protection of a cup sole.
This design offers:
- Enhanced board feel for precise control
- Improved support on transitions and gaps
- Reliable grip thanks to Vans’ signature waffle pattern
It’s a balanced setup that works just as well for technical tricks as it does for cruising lines or locking into ledges.
Designed to Last Longer
Skate shoes take a beating, and the Skate Era is built with that reality in mind.
Key durability upgrades include:
- Reinforced uppers in high-wear areas
- Stronger stitching for longer life
- Increased padding around the collar for comfort and stability
Whether you’re flicking into kick flips or pushing through rough terrain, these shoes are made to keep going session after session.
