* All sizes are in Men’s sizing. To work out ladies sizing, add 1.5. Eg: Mens size 8 = Ladies size 9.5. Vans are a staple in skate culture and street style, and this skate sneaker is no exception. Introduced in 1977, the Vans Old Skool sneaker is a classic in the Vans collection. Full of attitude, the Old Skool is durable and lightweight, and can give the other boys in the collection a run for its money. The Old Skool, Vans classic skate shoe and the first to bare the iconic side stripe, has a low-top lace-up silhouette with a durable suede and canvas upper with padded tongue and lining and Vans signature Waffle Outsole.
