Vans Skate Old Skool Shoe

Vans Skate Old Skool Shoe

The Old Skool, rebuilt for actual skating. Vans took the shoe everybody knows and added a tougher toe, stickier rubber and a footbed that doesn't pack out after two sessions.

Why We Carry It

It's the shoe half our crew wears on the walk from the shop to the bus. Same look as always, it just survives way longer when you're actually skating it.

Highlights

• Suede and canvas upper: Classic two-texture build with the Sidestripe.
• DURACAP underlays: Rubber reinforcement in the high-wear zones so ollie holes take longer to show up.
• SickStick rubber: Vulcanized outsole with the signature waffle tread and a deeper knurl for grip and board feel.
• PopCush footbed: Cushioning that bounces back and helps with impact on bigger drops.
• Locked-in fit: Taller sidewall and a fit that holds your foot in place.

Best For

Skaters who want the classic low-top with real durability, and anyone cruising Main Street once the snow melts.
