Old Skool Sneakers 

Rockin’ it old skool since 1977. 

Match Your Style with Iconic Old Skool^TM Shoes 

Our old school sneakers have been worn and loved by legends for decades. From the fashion elite to superstar skaters and famous musicians, Vans’ classic Old Skool Shoe has long been the go-to sneaker for Off The Wall creatives and style icons. 

Today, our old skool skate shoes are just as iconic as they were when they debuted in 1977. From black and white and checkerboard prints to Off The Wall designs, our old skool shoes combine the vintage Sidestripe™ aesthetic with modern designs and prints. 

Love the checkerboard print? Try our Old Skool Primary Check Shoe. Go vintage black and white or try a pop of red. Prefer a more subtle and understated vibe? Check out our Old Skool Pig Suede Shoe in vintage indigo for clean lines and effortless style.

Our low-top old skool shoes may look the same, but they’re filled with modifications and improvements to give you the ultimate comfort. From reinforced toe caps and padded collars to our signature rubber waffle outsoles—we’ve got your back (and feet)! 

On your feet all day? Try our Old Skool ComfyCush Shoe. Combining the classic Old Skool silhouette with added arch support, moisture-wicking technology, and modified canvas uppers— these shoes are made to keep you comfy no matter what.
