The Old Skool, the first Vans design to feature the iconic Sidestripe, has been a staple since its 1977 debut. Originally a random doodle by founder Paul Van Doren, this low-top silhouette quickly became a favorite in skate, music, and fashion scenes. From 90s street skaters and punks to today's hip hop and fashion icons, the Old Skool remains a go-to for creatives who blaze their own trail. Crafted with durable suede and canvas uppers, reinforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles, this classic shoe continues to inspire.
