Vans Old Skool is one of the brand’s most recognisable skate-inspired silhouettes. The low-top shape combines a more structured upper with the signature side stripe, giving the model more visual weight than the stripped-back Authentic.

Suede and canvas combinations are closely associated with the classic Old Skool look, while different colourways can move the sneaker from understated to more graphic. The shape works naturally with loose denim, cargos and relaxed everyday styling.
