Introduced in 1977, the Old Skool marked the debut of the iconic Vans Sidestripe, initially a spontaneous doodle by founder Paul Van Doren. Over the years, this low-top silhouette has become an icon within the skate, music, and fashion realms. Renowned among 90s street skaters, punks, and embraced by contemporary hip hop and fashion influencers, the Old Skool maintains its status as the preferred shoe for creatives who carve their unique paths.
