The Vans Old Skool sneaker, initially known as "Style 36" during its launch in 1977, quickly gained popularity among skateboarders in South California. This iconic shoe retains all the distinctive features of the original design, consisting of suede side panels, a low-top silhouette, and Vans' renowned "jazz" stripe adorning the sides. Providing reliable grip and stability, the sneaker is equipped with a sticky gum-rubber tread boasting a grid-like traction pattern, ensuring steady footing whether one is skateboarding or simply walking around.
