Vans Old Skool Removable Stripe Available Now

Since the Company’s launch in 1966, the Van Doren brothers set out to produce a solid shoe made entirely in-house — a process that was largely unheard of at the time. With models being introduced year after year, the Anaheim-rooted brand has stumbled on instant staples like the Authentic, Era, and many others. Vans — despite leaving these core classics largely untouched for the past few decades — has begun to implement a more eclectic design ideology as marked by its reconstructed Vans Sk8-Hi and Vans Slip-Ons. Keeping the iconic low-top silhouette and suede/canvas tooling of the Vans Old Skool, the California brand brings back the model in white and black with a removable checkerboard jazz stripe which lifts to reveal a red variation of the same print. You can find these at select stockists like Billy’s Tokyo for a retail of $65 USD.
