'76 saw the Vans Era entering the empty pools to respectfully capitalise on the craze for skaters rocking the simple, affordable canvas creations the brand popularized. Lifting from the Authentic's (44's) clean looks, a decade on, it was time to make some minor, but necessary performance tweaks, with some extra padding & a slightly sturdier take on a plain, low-profile silhouette. This edition of the Era is perfect for summer.
