Luka Sabbat in the Vans Old Skool

We really enjoyed the lightness of the Vans UltraRange, which only weighs approximately 255 grammes. The padded collar and tongue are wrapped in mesh material that contributes to its overall lightness.

Vans UltraRange appears like an outdoor athletic shoe fitted for the modern active lifestyle. We found it to be a great everyday sneaker that's ideal for tackling daily errands, working a complete shift, or going for light camping.

The brand used really high-quality materials to make this modern, reinterpreted Old Skool. It bears the leather-made Side Stripe attached on both sides of the shoe.

The Side Stripe add-on first appeared on the original Old Skool skate shoe and it prevented the sides of the shoe from chafing fast.

Cushioning made better

In our opinion, the cushioning on this sneaker is better than that of the Vans Old Skool. It comes with the UltraCush Lite foam that provides heel-to-toe cushioning while its seamless Luxliner inner sock hugs the foot comfortably. UltraCush vans authentic ca paisley pack.

We love the clean finish which gives this pair a luxurious vibe. Its minimalist and straightforward look is also easy to style.

The low-top Vans UltraRange comes with pull tabs on the tongue and heel that let us easily slip this sneaker on and off. 

It doesn't keep the feet toasty

This sneaker has surprisingly good breathability! Its upper is draped with synthetic suede and mesh materials, making it comfortably suitable for warm days. 

Made with a standard sole that grips

The shoe's outsole features a reversed waffle pattern which grips very well on various surfaces.

It holds its shape pretty well

Another noteworthy feature of this silhouette is the unique combination of rubber and foam on the outsole. Together these components make this shoe long-lasting.

Joggers, rolled-up skinnies, shorts, and activewear go well with the Vans UltraRange. It also offers a chic vibe even when wearing it without socks.

Commonly available in earth tones

In the mid-60s, brothers Paul Van Doren and James Van Doren and their friends Gordon Lee and Serge Delia started a shoe company in California called the Van Doren Rubber Company. Their company stood out among other shoe retailers back in the day because they designed, created, and sold their pairs on the same day on the same premises.

Their first products were made of the thick rubber sole and durable Duck Canvas #10. The company wanted to deliver a sneaker that is easy on the eye and robust enough to withstand strenuous activities. In the 70s, the 'House of Vans' was coined by a group of skaters as they liked the aesthetics and rugged look and the sticky rubber sole of Vans. In 1976, the 'Off the Wall' logo was introduced.

The iconic Side Stripe of the Vans was introduced in 1976 in the Vans Old Skool model. It results from a random doodle of one of the founders, Paul Van. In the 90s, Vans was able to penetrate casual fashion. It was seen sported by rock stars, personalities, and hip-hop celebrities. Several collaborations were formulated during this period which changed the history of all sneaker collaborations.

Vans was able to reach the world stage before the 70s ended. However, in 1984, the company filed for bankruptcy because of a wide range of products they offered in the market that exhausted their resources.  Three years later, the company recovered over and paid all its debts.

From manufacturing, the brand turned into a marketing company in the 90s. They started sponsoring popular and massive sporting events and famous navy. They launched their apparel line that's able to serve a vast array of customers. Fifty years since it was initially presented, the company is now selling £410 million per year.

In 2017, Vans launched a sneaker that has been described to be the outdoor version of the Old Skool.  This stylish kick offers versatility that goes well with any ensemble for any outdoor activities. This summer-ready kick bears the breathable upper with UltraCush foam sole, Luxliner lining, and the classic inverted waffle-patterned rubber sole.

The UltraRange displays a sportier profile but retains the classic elements. It is able to inspire people to travel and explore the world by showcasing features that look and feel good while on a trip to the ocean, walking around the city, or anything in between. Indeed, we found it to be a lightweight and comfortable travel sneaker.
