Vans Old Skool

Debuting in 1977 as the “Style 36,” the Old Skool was the first Vans shoe to incorporate leather panels, and one of the first to feature the now-iconic “jazz stripe.” A popular silhouette for collaborations, everyone from Supreme to Tyler, The Creator to Concepts has added their personal touch to the shoe throughout its history.
