Cemented as a Vans Classic and renamed the Old Skool in the 90s, this sneaker boasts a smooth suede vamp and high gloss sidewalls for a clean, premium aesthetic. 8 oz.

A classic packed with nostalgia; the Vans Old Skool 36. First launched in '77, the original was the first to include the Sidestripe in its design - previously known as the Jazz Stripe, the origins of this hallmark came from a doodle by founder Paul Van Doren. This time, the iconic 'checkerboard' print takes the sidewalls, while durable black suede panels cover the toe and heel. The foxing tape, midsole and license plate branding gets a whitewash, while the waffle outsole adds familiar traction. | VN000CQD2BO.
