Vans have always been a timeless brand, one which never falters in either its design or ethos. The Vans California is no different to this preface.

The Vans California Range is a homage to California style with the Vans Designers taking on the combination of carefree beach culture and the progressive style that cities such as LA and San Francisco emanate.

With models of the Vans California Collection exclusive to Size? it becomes a perfect partnership of brand and retail, of classic and fashion forward thinking.

Our favourites from the range have to be the all black Vans California Carrilo and both the Vans California Era and Era Brogue.

The California Era is exclusive only to Size and is certainly a statement model. The black perforated leather gives this Vans shoe a texture like no other which gives a much more luxury feel to the original skateboard shoe.

The brogue version has a beautiful twist with a juxtaposition of black and grey upper adding a more quirky and edgy feel to the shoe.

The Era was one of the first Vans shoes to be created, released in 1976 and to this day showing just how timeless a design it really is.

You can buy the Vans California Era directly from Size via the link. The Era Brogue is also available here
