The Vans x Crayola Old Skool Infants Shoes in history

The base model Vans Era was previously known as Style 95. Released in 1976, it was designed by Stacy Peralta and Tony Alva. Since its inception, it has been re-released and reinterpreted countless times, meeting the needs of loyal Vans fans, whether fashionistas or skateboarders. Its iconic silhouette has also been used in creating fantastic collaborative pieces. One of the entities that Vans partnered with is the American punk band named Suicidal Tendencies. 

The Vans x Crayola Old Skool Infants Shoes was released on January 28, 2009. This iteration was a product of the collaboration between Vans Syndicate and Suicidal Tendencies. It has minimal modifications compared to the Vans Era, having simple detailing on the canvas upper. It has colorways that reflect the characteristics of the band. 

This shoe was created as a sign of respect to the beloved music acts on Vans sneakers. Having said that, since the Suicidal Tendencies is an American hardcore punk that also has a skateboarding cred, Vans decided to honor the band with its own signature using the silhouette of the Vans Era. 

This Suicidal Tendencies x Vans Era piece comes in black and blue colorways. It showcases the trademark bandanas of Mike Muir as well as the scribbled lyrics on the insole.
