Vans x Dime MTL Skate Era Stub Shoe Available August 30th 2025 1:00PM EST In a landmark collaboration that celebrates decades of skate heritage, Vans Skateboarding and Montréal-based skate brand Dime have reimagined an icon. The new Vans Skate Era Stub is a brand-new silhouette that draws from the legacy of the original Era, which first launched in 1976 as the first-ever skate shoe designed by skaters, for skaters. Nearly five decades later, the spirit of evolution continues. The Skate Era Stub is a fresh take on the classic design, built on modern proportions and equipped with Vans’ most advanced performance technologies. The shoe features SickStick™ rubber for superior grip, PopCush™ insoles for powerful impact protection, and Duracap™ reinforcements in high-wear areas for lasting durability.
