First known as the Vans #36,the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawnby founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the “jazz stripe.” Today,the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable—and instantlyrecognizable—hallmark of the Vans brand. Constructed with durable suede andcanvas uppers in a range of fresh colorways, the Old Skool pays homage to ourheritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic asever. It also features re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, andsignature rubber waffle outsoles.
