With numerous versions to choose from, sneakerheads of all kinds can find the shoe that best suits their approach to fashion.

Discover Vans Old Skool Shoes

Created by company founder Paul Van Doren, the first pair of Vans Old Skool shoes (originally called ‘Vans #36’) was released in 1977. The low-top sneaker was an instant classic, with the iconic side stripe (known today as the ‘jazz stripe’) giving the collection a distinct and highly recognisable appearance.

With their plain rubber soles and simple suede and canvas uppers, the traditional Old Skool Vans remain a popular choice to this day, particularly among skateboarders. They have a timeless design and lots of practical features, from sturdy toe caps to supportive collars.

Over the years, different models, such as the ComfyCush (a revised iteration with a foam and rubber sole), have placed the focus on specific qualities, catering to the diverse needs of individuals who wear the legendary trainers.

Most versions of the Old Skool feature a lace-up design for men and women; however, these shoes are also available in smaller sizes for kids, incorporating accessible Velcro straps. This inclusive approach allows new sneakerheads to discover why this collection has stood the test of time—and why it will continue to be worn for many years (and decades) to come.
