ntroduced in 1977, the Vans Old Skool, originally known as “Style 36”, marked a significant turning point for the Vans brand. It was the first Vans shoe to feature the iconic “jazz stripe”, a leather side stripe designed by co-founder Paul Van Doren, that would come to define the brand’s identity. The Old Skool, with its sturdy canvas and suede upper, reinforced toecaps, and signature waffle rubber outsoles, quickly became popular among skateboarders and BMX riders due to its durability and functionality. Over the years, it’s grown beyond its roots, with collaborations with brands like BLENDS, Concepts, and UNDERCOVER, transforming it into a globally recognized streetwear staple cherished by diverse subcultures.
