The Iconic Shoe that Brought our Sidestripe to Life: This is the Old Skool The Old Skool was our first footwear design to showcase the famous Vans Sidestripe—although back then, it was just a simple doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren.
Since its debut in 1977, this low-top silhouette has established itself as an icon in the skate, music, and fashion scenes.
The Old Skool Shoes are consistently the go-to shoes for creatives who do things their own way.
