Vans Old Skool

First known as the Vans 36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the jazz stripe. Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable-and instantly recognizable-hallmark of the Vans brand.

Featuring classic gum-colored sidewalls, the Gum Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. Made with durable suede and canvas uppers, it also includes re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
