The Vans Era has become pretty much a standard piece of footwear for most people these days. Though the most basic versions are still classic and when Vans executes a more focused premium make-up, the Era takes on a more serious tone. This double release has two make-ups that take on that more premium approach, which proves to be beneficial once again on the Era.

There’s the choice of either a mirage blue or an all white colour-up, with both using hits of tan and light browns. A canvas construction can be found on the upper on both models and the hidden stitching around the toe box and heel of the shoe gives the models a composite look, while still retaining the classic Era shape and aesthetics.

Both are available from SoleHeaven now.
