Originally known as Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique innovation: a random doodle by founder Paul Van Doren that was originally dubbed the "jazz stripe." Today, the famous Vans sidestripe is Vans' unmistakable and instantly recognizable trademark. Featuring durable suede and canvas uppers in a range of fresh colors, the Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring this low-top lace-up remains as iconic as ever. It also features re-enforced toe caps, padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
