The Vans Old Skool in Soft Slate Blue is the sneaker that started it all. Born from a random doodle by founder Paul Van Doren back in 1977, the iconic Sidestripe has defined a shoe worn by skaters, punks, and hip-hop legends for nearly 50 years. This low-top pairs a soft suede and canvas upper in a cool, muted blue with crisp off-white accents and a warm gum outsole. It's the kind of shoe that works everywhere: the skate park, the street, the studio, wherever you're doing your own thing.
Features:
Iconic Sidestripe™ insignia, the signature detail that started it all in '77.
Suede and canvas upper in soft, cool-toned Soft Slate Blue for visual depth and texture.
Vulcanized construction delivers the original look and feel skaters have trusted for decades.
Signature waffle outsole pattern grips the ground with reliable traction since '66.
