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.
