Just three years before TOWER opened its doors to London’s footwear family, VANS introduced the Style No.98 - a laceless, simple trainer that give wearers everything they needed beneath that iconic waffle sole. New school styling with Old Skool footwear, VANS’ vulcanised soles are a perfect example of timeless design. Launched as VANS first skate shoe to feature leather panels, the Old Skool evolved into a canvas for founder, Paul Van Doren’s ‘jazz stripe’ - a doodle that later became the brand’s logo earmark.
