First introduced in 1977 under the name 'Style 36', the Old Skool sneaker quickly gained popularity. Paul Van Doren, the founder of Vans, aimed to design a shoe that would stand out from their #44 Deck shoe. The Old Skool 'Acid Denim' model adds a touch of uniqueness to the traditional canvas upper by incorporating a denim textile, which is given a blue acid wash finish. To further enhance its visual appeal, contrasting sidestripes are featured on the midfoot. Additionally, this sneaker offers excellent support and comfort with its padded collar and vulcanized waffle outsole that cushions the foot.
