CUSTOM. SINCE BEFORE THAT WAS A THING.

Vans Customs have been a tradition since 1966, when Paul Van Doren made shoes with any fabric people brought by the shop. Today, the creativity is still in your hands.

The Old Skool Platform is truly lifting with double the helping of our classic gum rubber Waffle Sole. It’s a low-top lace-up baring the iconic leather side stripe, sturdy canvas uppers, metal eyelets, a padded tongue and lining, a flexible padded collar and a platform signature Waffle Outsole. Now they’re available in Vans Customs with multiple leather and suede options, custom sidestripe and eyelet colors, exclusive patterns available only in Customs, and the option to Upload Your Art or photos onto each shoe from a smartphone or computer.

Pick your shoe, pick your colors and patterns, and make them yours.
