Old Skool

The Vans Old Skool is a classic skate shoe and one of the first Vans shoes to bare the “side stripe” design, which has since become iconic among skateboarders and surfers. The Old Skool is the definition of original design, and encompasses the Vans brand DNA completely. First debuting in 1977 and originally called the “Style 36”, the Old Skool was one of the first skate shoes at that time that incorporated leather panel details. Today it is one of Vans best known and most popular shoe styles and can be seen on the feet of top professional skateboarders such as Anthony Van England, Tony Trujillo, Steve Caballero, Chima Ferguson, Kyle Walker and Geoff Rowley.
