First known as the Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the “jazz stripe.” Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable—and instantly recognizable—hallmark of the Vans brand. Adding a twist to the original sidestripe style, the Old Skool Patchwork features sturdy textile uppers constructed with a patchwork of traditional suiting materials and patterns. This legendary low top shoe also includes supportive padded collars, re-enforced toe caps, and signature rubber waffle outsoles. • Vans’ iconic low top, sidestripe shoe • Durable textile uppers • Patchwork construction with mixed patterns • Lace-up closure • Re-enforced toe caps • Supportive padded collars • Signature rubber waffle outsoles
