The Vans Old Skool sneakers were the first to showcase the iconic Vans Sidestripe, a simple drawing by founder Paul Van Doren. Since their debut in 1977, these low-top silhouettes have become an icon in the world of skateboarding, music, and fashion. From 90s street skaters and punks to today's hip hop and fashion legends, the Old Skool has always been the preferred shoe for creatives who do things their own way. The metallic Sidestripes add a sophisticated touch. Low-top sneaker made of durable suede and canvas with a padded collar for support and comfort. Features a lace-up closure for a secure and adjustable fit, sturdy rubber side stripe with the classic foxing stripe, reinforced toe cap for durability, waffle outsole for reliable grip since 1966, vulcanized sole for superior board feel and flexibility, and iconic Sidestripe™ emblem.
