Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Vans Skate Era is the performance version of the Era silhouette introduced in 1976, co-designed by Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta as the first purpose-built skateboarding shoe with a padded collar and the vulcanized waffle outsole Vans has used since 1966. Vans was founded in Anaheim, California in 1966. The modern Skate Era is reinforced with DuraCap rubber underlays in high-wear areas and a SickStick waffle outsole, built for a pro skate program. The SS21 collab prints Supreme's Monogram S pattern across the canvas upper in red, black, and royal blue.
