The Vans Old Skool Shoe has never been lacking in the attitude department. It brought the dawn of the classic Vans stripe that has developed into a status symbol of tradition and skate stature. Aside from all that personality, they have lasted as long as they have because of their ability to perform on a skateboard, and to last, and last, and last. Though they now share the ranks with many other Vans kicks, these bad boys retain their old school nostalgia and aren't going anywhere.
