  • Vans Skate Classics 'Blackout Pack'

    Like a mighty phoenix rising from the ashes, Vans Skateboarding introduces their revolutionary Skate Classics, iconic Vans silhouettes re-engineered for modern skateboarding with enhanced technology and durable materials. Without risking their legendary aesthetic, the Vans Skate Classics shoes are developed from the previous Pro Classics, built from the ground up with progressive tech features to perform under skateboarding’s strenuous demands whilst ultimately still feeling like a Vans skate shoe. The first iteration of the Skate Classics is the Blackout pack exclusive for core skate shops which is comprised of their renowned styles, including an Old Skool, Sk8-Hi, Slip-on, Era and Authentic.

    Distinguished by their subtle yet recognisable checkerboard flag and new Vans Skateboarding heel tab, the Vans Skate Classics provides skaters with intuitive technology while continuing to honour their skateboarding heritage. The upper pattern and heel counter have been fully modified to help improve skaters fit and comfort, new tongue-straps that help keep the tongue in place, and a revised DURACAP underlay that is more breathable but still retaining the durability where skaters need it the most.

    Vans has also manufactured a tougher, updated toe knurl pattern and two-part foxing for better grip and enhanced resilience. The Skate Classics continue to impress with a redesigned gum rubber sole that is comprised of their SickStick rubber formula for better grip and POPCUSH sockliners for improved cushioning and impact protection. All these technologies help improve boardfeel and ultimately help the shoes last longer while retaining Vans’ influential style and upholding their skateboarding legacy.

  • Vans Era Pro - Autumn 2010

    This week we've received some great shoes and clothing from Vans.

    Amongst our favourites are these Era Pros from the Vans Core Footwear Pro Classics Collection.

    The Era Pro takes the silhouette of the Vans Era but is made more skate tuff. Autumn 2010 is the first season that the Era Pro has been included in-line although the Era Pro has previously made an appearance 'in some form' in both Vans Syndicate and Vans Legends product capsules.

    So the Era Pro has been given a 'skate tuff update' but what are the differences? Well, Vans have upgraded the upper materials, added a reinforced Duracap toe bumper, introduced a soft terrycloth lining, as well as a removable PU sockliner.

    How can you tell the difference between an Era and an Era Pro? The tell tale signs are - subtle Duracap branding on the instep of the sidewall, Pro Classics branding on the footbed of the removable cushioned PU sockliner, and Pro branding on the reverse of Vans label tab.
