The low-top sneaker has been around since 1977, but it hasn't lost any of its appeal. The upper material is mostly made of canvas and thus nice and sturdy. The typical side stripe for the model is made of leather and designed in a contrasting color. For ladies, the Vans Old Skool is optionally available with a platform sole to compensate for missing centimeters. The Vans Old Skool is most classic in black with a white stripe, but the cult sneaker also makes quite a statement in white or light blue. Very brave choose the Vans Old Skool with the legendary checker checks or with leopard print.
