The Era is definitely a UK favourite now, you’d find it tough not spot at least one person rocking these classics in a busy city. This Gothic Grape/Black make-up is a solid release that shows once again how effective the Era can be.

Coming in a suede and canvas upper, the combination is not an unfamiliar one on the Era but it never gets old. The deep rich gothic grape and black sits on a crispy white outsole with black trim, a great contrast that does well. This one speaks for itself, it’s another timeless release from Vans that will sit nicely in any sneaker collection.

Available from SoleHeaven for £45.00 now.
