Vans Skate Classic Old Skool Shoes, redesigned and built extra tough for modern skateboarding.
The Vans Skate Classics collection delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. Made with classic suede and canvas uppers, the Skate Old Skool has the iconic Old Skool look, while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand.
- Colour: Black / Gum
- Iconic Styling: Legendary low-top lace-up. A mix of suede, 6 oz canvas, and 10 oz canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Skate Old Skool™.
- Fully Redesigned Uppers: Reconstructed with a moulded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control.
- Increased Durability: Duracap™ reinforced materials. Deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a more heritage look with increased durability and protection.
- Popcush Cushioning: Cushioning and impact protection. Popcush™ energy return footbeds protect feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions.
- Legendary Grip: Vans signature waffle sole and proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound - the stickiest rubber yet from Vans.
- Size guide: U.S. mens
Made with a fully revised upper, moulded heel counter, locked-in tongue straps, and a recut of the Duracap™ underlay, the Skate Classics Old Skool offers an essential fit that is more breathable and durable where skaters need it most. The two-part foxing, featuring a tougher toe knurl, ensures heightened board contact, and the redesigned gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been further elevated with the SickStick™ rubber compound plus an internal heel shank to deliver more grip, more board-feel, more support, and more durability. Along with the redesigned sidewall finish, Popcush™ sock-liners for superior cushioning and impact protection, and a sleek checkerboard flag, the new Skate Classics Old Skool has the iconic look, with all the performance benefits that skaters demand.
