The defining characteristic of the timeless Vans Old Skool sneaker is the iconic "jazz stripe," originally conceived by Paul Van Doren and later known as the sidestripe. In a bold reimagination of this classic, the Old Skool S 'Syndicate' sneaker showcases a refreshed look with modern style elements. It features a full suede upper adorned with a seamless tonal checkerboard pattern, replacing the original canvas and leather materials. To maintain its signature durability, the shoe is finished with a vulcanized rubber outsole. This updated version pays homage to the traditional design while adding a contemporary twist.
