In 1975, Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta, two skateboarders, introduced the Vans 59, a lace-up shoe that quickly gained popularity thanks to its low profile, padded collar, and slip-resistant outsole. Building on this rich history, the Vans Era 59 incorporates the same classic silhouette but with added durability from its sturdy double-stitched canvas material, enhanced by metal lace eyelets and a vulcanized rubber midsole. This particular version of the shoe predominantly features a Pewter colorway, while the premium touch of brown leather can be found on both the heel and tongue.
