Old Skool - Mens

The Vans Old Skool in Soft Slate Blue is the sneaker that started it all. Born from a random doodle by founder Paul Van Doren back in 1977, the iconic Sidestripe has defined a shoe worn by skaters, punks, and hip-hop legends for nearly 50 years. This low-top pairs a soft suede and canvas upper in a cool, muted blue with crisp off-white accents and a warm gum outsole. It's the kind of shoe that works everywhere: the skate park, the street, the studio, wherever you're doing your own thing.

• Iconic Sidestripe™ insignia, the signature detail that started it all in '77.
• Suede and canvas upper in soft, cool-toned Soft Slate Blue for visual depth and texture.
• Vulcanized construction delivers the original look and feel skaters have trusted for decades.
• Signature waffle outsole pattern grips the ground with reliable traction since '66.

• Padded collar for support and comfort.
• Lace-up closure for an adjustable fit.
• Rubber sidewall with classic foxing stripe.
• Off-white laces and accents.
• Warm gum-brown waffle outsole.
