Vans Old Skool Shoes

The old-school life.

The classic Old Skool are the shoes that first rocked VANS' signature Sidestripe. Back in 77, VANS' founder Paul Van Doren doodled that famous stripe, and the rest is history. These low-top Old Skool kicks from VANS are all about durable style, with suede and canvas uppers, reinforced toe caps, and supportive padded collars. Plus, they've got the classic lace-up closure and signature rubber waffle outsoles that make them perfect for any adventure. It's the timeless Old Skool look you know and love.

The Old Skool is the OG in the sneaker world. One day, the Vans co-founder Paul Van Doren was doodling away and inspired by his sketch, he gave birth to the iconic VANS side stripe. The Old Skool was the first VANS silhouette to feature the now iconic leather side stripe along the outer panels of the shoe and has now become a hallmark design characteristic. From Supreme to Marvel, Marc Jacobs to Star Wars, David Bowie to Harry Potter, the Old Skool silhouette has been revamped to cater to just about every possible sneakerhead imaginable.

Gaining popularity as many of the skateboarding greats began wearing them, the rugged lace-up soon came to make up the vivid pop of colours seen on skate parks. Now available in every possible colour and combination, Vans adds personality to any ensemble.
