The Vans Era was the first shoe designed by skaters for skaters. Launched in 1976 as Vans #95, the Era model was popularized by the legendary Z-Boys and is still the first choice of skaters, surfers and creatives worldwide. The Paradise Floral Era features sturdy textile uppers with an allover floral print, metal eyelets, padded collars for support and flexibility, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
