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 jazz stripe. Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable-and instantly recognizable-hallmark of the Vans brand. Featuring a heel print highlighting our love for the best breakfast food, the Waffle Lovers Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also includes durable leather and canvas uppers, re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
