The Old Skool, initially known as Style 36, debuted in 1977. It marked a pivotal moment as Vans' first skate shoe to showcase the iconic Sidestripe, originally termed the 'Jazz Stripe.' This pioneering design incorporated leather panels to enhance durability, a crucial feature for the demands of skateboarding, setting the stage for its enduring legacy.
Primarily designed for casual, everyday wear, the Old Skool V Kids 'Glitter - Pastel Blue' provides both style and practicality for children. The double hook-and-loop closures facilitate easy on and off, catering to the active lifestyle of kids. The cushioned rubber insole offers comfort, while the signature waffle outsole provides reliable traction for various activities.
The Old Skool's influence resonates across diverse subcultures, solidifying its status as a timeless icon. The shoe's versatility has made it a staple in street fashion, embraced by trendsetters globally. Its roots in skateboarding culture, particularly during the early 1980s, cemented its place as a symbol of rebellion and individuality. The Old Skool continues to be celebrated within art and popular culture, proving its lasting appeal.
This iteration of the Old Skool V Kids features a low-top silhouette, artfully combining durable suede and canvas. The design is further elevated by the inclusion of glittery synthetic panels, adding a touch of flair. The construction incorporates reinforced toe caps, a padded collar for support, and dual hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap closures, ensuring ease of wear and a secure fit.
