One ubiquitous low-top sneaker that marvelously bridged the gap between skate fashion and high-end couture and prospered from the street curbs to the runways is the Vans Old Skool. Created initially as a skate shoe back in 1977, the Old Skool resists being confined only to streetwear circles comprising of mainly skateboarders, bikers, and surfers, as it effortlessly wound up on the feet of sneaker enthusiasts, fashion elite, and luminaries through the years.
The Old Skool produced by the Van Doren Rubber Company or simply Vans made its first appearance in the Southern Californian surfers’ haven back in 1977 as a skate-centric model. Featuring a vulcanized outsole, this classic icon was the brand’s first retreat from a deck shoe.
Debuted over a decade after the launch of the Vans #44 or Vans Authentic, this sneaker exhibited for the first time a curvy strip of leather on the side panels which was later coined the Sidestripe and deemed the symbol of the brand.
Through several reinterpretations in the past four decades, utilizing a mixture of colors, designs, and fabrics, this low-top Old Skool sneaker looks fresh as ever. The Vans Vintage Old Skool is one of the many refashioned versions of this classic cut that pays tribute to the original silhouette.
