The classic Vans Old Skool in black is a staple part of any trendsetter's wardrobe. Before the Old Skool was originally released, Vans founder Paul Van Doren was known as a doodler, and always had a pencil and pad close; he drew up the simple wave-like side stripe and called it the “jazz stripe”. The Vans side stripe originally appeared on the now iconic; Style 36 aka Old Skool in 1977, which just so happened to be Vans very first leather skate shoe. Now’s your chance to bag yourself a pair coming in black you’d be silly not to.

This style is also avialable in smaller kids and toddler sizes for the ultimate mini me moment.
