Vans x Spitfire Era Pro John Cardiel 2010 — Grey Suede / Red — UK 10
Vans x Spitfire Era Pro from 2010, made with Spitfire and John Cardiel. The shoe dropped in support of two West Coast skate spots designed by Cardiel and Vans teammate Anthony Van
Grey suede upper with a Spitfire woven tag on the outer side, a red top eyelet and a bright red lining. Inside are the original red Spitfire insoles, printed with John Cardiel's name and "Keeping the Underground Lit". Wide black laces, white foxing, and the Pro build: a Duracap rubber layer under the toe for grip-tape wear and a waffle sole made for boardfeel. Sixteen years on, it's a pair that rarely turns up.
Wax & Waffle Evaluation Grade: Good — 7/10
Upper: Suede dry-cleaned, then the nap brushed and lifted.
Foxing and soles: Foxing cleaned. Outsoles cleaned, with plenty of tread left.
Interior: Lining cleaned. Original Spitfire insoles cleaned, sanitised and deodorised.
Laces: Fresh Crep Laces (Flat Black - 1cm wide)
Flaws: Some uneven shading in the suede across both toes and on one heel. Small dark mark on the medial heel of one shoe. Normal age for a 2010 pair. Shown in photos.
Size: UK 10 / EU 44.5. Go by the label size — see our Size Guide, or message us before you buy.
Cleaned, checked and honestly photographed by Wax & Waffle.
