VANS Old Skool Shoes

When a Céline designer stepped out after the brand’s runway show wearing what appeared to be slip-on VANS, the fashion world took notice, offering up high-end versions of skateboard shoes inspired by the laid-back culture of Southern California. But savvy shoppers know to seek out the original, and nothing is more old school than, well, the VANS Old Skool. Instantly recognizable with its wavy white detail and signature branding on the back, this skate-inspired shoe has plenty of imitators, both in the upper echelons of fashion and in more affordable fast-fashion lines. Available in almost an infinite number of colors, patterns and variations, including canvas, suede and leather, this shoe’s relaxed, rock-n-roll attitude is here to stay.
