Vans’ Old Skool trainers showcase their signature black-and-white checkerboard pattern, a design deeply rooted in the brand’s skateboarding heritage. These low-top shoes are constructed from a combination of suede and canvas and feature designer applique details, reinforced toe caps, and classic waffle outsoles. For a relaxed aesthetic, pair them with casual denim and a graphic t-shirt. The iconic #36, which debuted in 1977, was the first Vans model to feature the now-famous 'Jazz Stripe' or Sidestripe. This iteration arrives in a classic black and checkerboard colourway, with plush suede on the toe, heel, and eyestays, complemented by durable canvas across the rest of the upper. The white sole unit is accented with glossy foxing tape and a black Waffle sole, finished with a red and white license plate. VN000D56BZW1.
