First known as the Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the
jazz stripe. Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable, and instantly recognizable, hallmark of the Vans brand.
Featuring a floral checkerboard print inspired by the childhood game, the Love Me/Love Me Not Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also includes durable suede and textile uppers, re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
