Vans invented the skate shoe in 1966 in Anaheim, California. Sixty years on, the Old Skool, Era, Half Cab and Slip-On silhouettes remain essential on and off the skatepark. EMPR carries exclusively the Vans Skate line — the technical range with reinforced Wafflecup sole and PopCush cushioning, built for skateboarding, not fashion. Half Cab, SK8-Hi, Skate Loafer, Authentic: each model has forged its legend on street spots and in contests. Sharp colorways, rider-selected, available in-store in Pau and with fast shipping across France and worldwide.
