Iconic skate style meets modern tech – dig deeper carves and flicks, thanks to robust suede, tough canvas, and plush PopCush cushioning.
A definitive Kiwi favourite, the Vans Skate Old Skool is built for riders who want that classic look but crave legit performance underfoot. The combo of sturdy suede overlays and abrasion-resistant canvas means these kicks shrug off ollie tears and grip tape scuffs, while Duracap underlays fend off blowouts where it matters most. Underfoot, Vans’ exclusive SickStick rubber compound offers peak board control and flick, so getting creative in the park or on the street feels natural. With padded collars for ankle support and tongue straps for a snug fit, there’s comfort and lockdown without sacrificing quick board feel or flexibility. It’s all topped off by the signature waffle tread and clean side stripe, making this a go-to for daily skate missions or laidback hangs.
