Vans Super Lowpro: Product Guide
Retro. Low-profile. Ready for right now. The Vans Super Lowpro brings back an archive-inspired silhouette and remixes it.
Love that vintage running shoe feel when it doesn't try too hard? This one belongs on your radar. The Super Lowpro is light, low to the ground and packed with heritage details, for a look that’s still unmistakably Vans. Here’s everything you need to know.
What is the Vans Super Lowpro?
The Vans Super Lowpro is a low-profile track-inspired trainer inspired by Vans’ early athletic footwear. Taking cues from the Serio Style 84 and the clean shapes of ’80s runners and flats, it brings old school energy but with a fresh take.
This is not your typical chunky skate shoe. The Super Lowpro sits closer to the ground, with a sleeker shape and lightweight feel.
Expect design features like a low-profile silhouette, lace-up closure, padded tongue, side perforations and heritage Serio branding on the tongue. Some styles also include canvas and suede uppers, an EVA midsole, OrthoLite® foam insole and Vans’ signature waffle-pattern rubber outsole for grip.
The result? A trainer that feels easy, flexible and wearable, but still has that Off The Wall attitude.
How do Vans Super Lowpro fit?
So, how do Vans Super Lowpro fit? The clue is in the name. The Super Lowpro has a low-profile feel, which means it sits flatter and closer to the foot.
The silhouette is designed to feel lightweight and easy to move in, with a soft, barely-there feel compared with more padded skate-inspired shapes.
Looking for the right size pair? Most people should start with their usual Vans size. If you prefer a roomier fit, wear thicker socks, or know you need more space through the toe or midfoot, it may be worth trying a half size up. If you like a neater, closer fit, your regular size is the best place to begin.
Vans Super Lowpro styles and colourways
The Super Lowpro range gives you plenty of ways to make the look your own. For a timeless everyday pair, go for black or white Super Lowpro shoes. They’ll work with jeans, cargos, skirts, dresses, relaxed tailoring and your favourite Vans hoodie. If you want something with more throwback energy, try colourways with contrast panels, retro side detailing or suede textures.
The Vans premium Super Lowpro trainer takes the silhouette further with elevated construction details and a double-laced design. The dual lace wrap gives the shoe a fresh, customisable look, while the puffed tongue and collar add more cushioning and support. It’s still low-profile, but with a more detailed, styled-up finish.
There’s also the Super Lowpro Ballet Light, which comes with a simplified upper and elasticated heel.
Vans Super Lowpro vs other Vans classics
Not sure how the Super Lowpro compares with the Vans icons you already know? Here’s the quick rundown.
Super Lowpro vs Old Skool
The Old Skool is one of the most recognisable Vans silhouettes, with its classic low-top shape, padded collar and iconic Sidestripe. It has more of a skate-shoe feel, with a sturdier, more structured look.
The Super Lowpro is sleeker and more athletic-inspired. It still carries Vans heritage, but the vibe is more vintage runner than classic skate shoe. Choose Old Skool if you want that timeless skate profile. Choose Super Lowpro if you want something lighter, lower and more streamlined.
Super Lowpro vs Knu Skool
The Knu Skool is big, bold and ’90s-inspired, with a puffy tongue, chunky laces and an oversized Sidestripe.
The Super Lowpro goes in the opposite direction. It’s slim, low and understated. Where Knu Skool brings volume, Super Lowpro brings speed and simplicity. If your style leans relaxed and chunky, go Knu Skool. If you’re after something cleaner and more minimal, go Super Lowpro.
Super Lowpro vs Authentic
The Authentic is Vans at its most stripped back: simple canvas, low-top design, clean lines.
The Super Lowpro has a similarly easy-to-wear feel, but with more retro sport detail. The Authentic is minimal and timeless. Super Lowpro is minimal with a vintage track twist.
Super Lowpro vs Slip-On
Slip-Ons are all about ease. No laces, instant Vans energy, done.
The Super Lowpro offers a more secure lace-up fit and a sportier profile. If you want quick on-and-off style, Slip-On is the one. If you want a low-profile trainer with a little more structure, Super Lowpro has you covered.
How to style the Vans Super Lowpro
The best thing about the Super Lowpro? There are tons of ways to wear it.
Laid-back retro
Lean into the vintage runner energy with straight-leg jeans, a tucked-in tee and a relaxed overshirt. Black, beige, brown or grey Super Lowpro shoes work perfectly here.
Sporty and clean
For a more athletic-inspired outfit, pair your Super Lowpro with track pants, a cropped jacket or a classic Vans sweatshirt. Keep the colours simple and let the low-profile shape do the work.
Smart casual
Want to dress them up a little? Try black or white Super Lowpro shoes with wide-leg trousers, a plain tee and a structured jacket.
Skirt or dress styling
The Vans Super Lowpro also works well with skirts, dresses and longer socks. A white or pastel colourway can soften the look, while black gives it more edge. Add a denim jacket, oversized shirt or cropped knit to keep things relaxed.
Looking for a pair that sits somewhere between vintage trainer, everyday sneaker and Off The Wall classic? The Vans Super Lowpro is ready when you are.
