Iconic Shoe Bringing Sidestripe Design to Life Here Old Skool Old Skool is the first shoe to use the famous Vans Sidestripe design, and it emerged from a simple drawing created by our founder Paul Van Doren in the past.

Since it first went on sale in 1977, this ankle-less shoe has become an icon in the fields of skateboarding, music, and fashion.

From 90's street skateboarders and punks to today's hip hop and fashion legends, Old Skool has been the go-to choice for creatively styled people.

This Old Skool offers a more stylish look.
