With the Vans Skate Era Stub, Vans Skateboarding and Montréal’s Dime introduce the next evolution of a true icon – a silhouette that fuses deep-rooted skate DNA with modern style.

‍

‍

First introduced in 1976 as Style 95, the original Era was the first skate shoe created with skaters, for skaters.

‍

‍

With its padded collar, reinforced heel, and durable canvas, it set new standards for skateboarding performance at the time.

‍

‍

‍

Nearly five decades later, the Skate Era Stub carries that spirit forward.

Debuting in Fall 2025, the all-new silhouette is built on modern proportions and equipped with Vans Skateboarding’s latest performance technologies.

‍

‍

‍

Thanks to SickStick rubber, it delivers exceptional grip and boardfeel, PopCush insoles provide maximum cushioning and energy return, and Duracap reinforcements ensure long-lasting durability in high-wear areas.

The launch is supported by a campaign featuring Conor Neeson (MC of the Dime Glory Challenge), Max Wasangu, Una Farrar, Alexis Lacroix, and Leon Chapdelaine.

The debut colorway, developed in close collaboration with Dime, showcases the brand’s signature design language across palette, branding, and materials.
