The Old Skool Shoe, born in 1977 as Style 36, introduced the now-iconic Sidestripe. Designed with skateboarding in mind, it shared the Era’s skate-focused details while adding a reinforced toe cap for extra durability. Since its debut, this low-top silhouette has become an icon across skateboarding, BMX, music, and fashion scenes. Decade after decade, it remains one of Vans’ most beloved styles, transcending trends with its timeless design and versatility. Now part of the Color Theory Collection, it’s reimagined in vibrant hues for a fresh, creative take.
