First known as the Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the “jazz stripe.” Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable—and instantly recognizable—hallmark of the Vans brand. Constructed with suede uppers and soft Sherpa linings, the Cozy Hug Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also includes reinforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles. - Vans’ iconic low top, sidestripe shoe - Soft suede uppers - Cozy Sherpa linings - Lace-up closure - Reinforced toe caps - Supportive padded collars - Signature rubber waffle outsoles
