Introduced in 1977 under the name 'Style 36', the Old Skool became Vans' pioneering shoe to showcase the distinctive sidestripe, a notable design concept conceived by the brand's founder, Paul Van Doren. Honoring its origins, the Old Skool MTE meticulously incorporates key features from its predecessor, utilizing a water-resistant Tec Tuff finish on its suede upper. Notably, this iteration showcases a cozy flannel lining and a robust vulcanized lug outsole reminiscent of snow boots, ensuring optimum comfort and durability during chilly conditions.
