First known as the Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the ājazz stripe.ā Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakableāand instantly recognizableāhallmark of the Vans brand. Constructed with spooky fang embroidery across the toes, the Fangs Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also includes sturdy leather uppers, re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
