Culture Note™
The Vans Old Skool, initially designated as Style 36, emerged in 1977 as the second skate shoe from Vans, marking a pivotal moment in footwear innovation. It was the first to incorporate leather paneling, a significant departure from its canvas predecessors, and the iconic Sidestripe, a design element conceived by co-founder Paul Van Doren. This introduction fundamentally altered the landscape of skate shoes and established a new paradigm.
Primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear, the Old Skool 'Rosette' offers a versatile utility. The rubber waffle outsole provides superior grip and boardfeel, critical for skaters. The cushioned sockliner and midsole enhance comfort for extended wear. Its design supports various activities, seamlessly transitioning from the skate park to everyday life. It is crafted for both performance and aesthetic appeal.
The Old Skool has become a cornerstone of counter-culture, adopted by several influential figures. The shoe's association with skateboarding is undeniable, as it became a staple in the sport's formative years. It played a pivotal role in the punk scene, frequently seen at performances throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Old Skool's influence extends into hip-hop culture, solidifying its place as a timeless icon in the realm of streetwear and beyond.
This iteration of the Old Skool, the Rosette colorway, maintains the foundational build of its predecessors. The low-top silhouette features reinforced toecaps and padded collars, ensuring durability and comfort. The materials include a blend of suede, canvas, and rubber, providing a balance of flexibility and resilience. The signature elements remain, including the Vans Sidestripe, the single-wrap foxing tape, the waffle outsole, and the padded collar for maximum support and style.
