Vans’ LX Old Skool trainers go all in on their signature black-and-white checkerboard pattern, a design rooted in the brand’s skateboarding heritage. Crafted from a mix of suede and canvas, the low-top silhouette is finished with designer applique detailing, reinforced toe caps and waffle outsoles. Style with relaxed denim and a graphic tee for a laid-back look. Lace up in skate-inspired style with these women's Old Skool LX trainers from Vans. In a Black colourway, these kicks have a durable canvas upper with soft suede overlays. Sporting the iconic Checkerboard pattern on the side panels, they have a lace-up fastening with light padding around the collar for a snug fit. With a grippy gum rubber outsole in the iconic diamond tread pattern, they're signed off with legendary Vans branding throughout. Material: Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole. Everyday wear, elevated materials, cushioning As the second skate shoe we ever made, the Old Skool became an icon beyond the world of skateboarding—particularly in underground music scenes. Now, almost 50 years later, we’re celebrating this bond with the Premium Old Skool Music Collection—featuring three unique capsules inspired by different eras of the Old Skool in music. The Warped Tour Capsule pops with always-on checkerboard, two-tone designs, and flame prints—paying homage to the early 2000s, when spiked hair and bleached tips reigned supreme. Our updated Premium build keeps the iconic Old Skool silhouette intact, refined for today with better cushioning and an improved fit. Elevated details meet ’90s-inspired design, all crafted with sustainable materials for a fresh take on a classic.
