The iconic shoe that brought our Sidestripe to life: this is the Old Skool
The Old Skool was our first footwear design to showcase the famous Vans Sidestripe—starting out as a simple sketch by our founder Paul Van Doren in 1977; this low-top has since made a name for itself in the skate; music; and fashion scenes. From 90s street skaters and punks to current hip hop and fashion legends; the Old Skool has consistently been the go-to shoe for creatives who do things their own way. Make it your own!
