The iconic Vans Old Skool trainers blend premium black suede and canvas uppers. The famous white Side Stripe adorns the sidewalls for an instantly recognisable look. Cushioned collars provide lasting comfort and signature waffle soles for extra traction. This is the Old Skool, the iconic shoe that brought our Sidestripe to life. It was our first footwear design to showcase the famous Vans Sidestripe, which was just a simple doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren. Since its debut in 1977, this low-top silhouette has established itself as an icon in the skate, music, and fashion scenes. From 90s street skaters and punks to current hip hop and fashion legends, the Youth Old Skool Shoes have consistently been the go-to shoes for creatives who do things their own way. These unisex shoes are suitable for kids.
