By the early 1970s, skateboarders were sporting Vans #44 Deck Shoes (now known as The Authentic) for their rugged construction and sticky sole. The ’70s also gave us Vans #95 (The Era), Vans #36 (Old Skool), and Vans #98 (Classic Slip-Ons), cementing the company’s image as a brand for skateboarders, BMX riders, and anyone with “off the wall” style.
Men’s Vans Old Skool
A forever icon. The Old Skool silhouette is beloved by skateboarders to fashionistas, ready for sport or the runway. Look for a sleek, low-profile fit, sidestripe branding, and padded collars for extra support.
Men’s Vans Classic Slip On
The Classic Slip On delivers easy comfort and easy style. Another icon of the brand, the model offers a signature laceless design, a low-profile fit, and vulcanized rubber soles with a waffle-pattern for maximum grip.
Vans Sk8 Hi
This one is legendary. A favorite high-top style, the Sk8 Hi is made for boarders but perfect for anyone looking for retro style and comfortable coverage. The silhouette features durable canvas and suede, re-enforced toecaps, padded collars, and the signature waffle-patterned outsole.
Vans Sk8 Mid
If you’re looking for a profile in the middle, the Sk8 Mid is your best bet. Re-enforced toecaps, padded collars, and durable canvas deliver iconic vibes and enhanced support.
Vans Comfycush Era
A staple gets revamped with Comfycush foam for all-day support that doesn’t lack style. Perfect for the classroom, the work commute, and everything in between.
Vans Sk8-Hi Boot MTE
A classic, re-engineered to withstand the elements. Featuring a water-repellant upper, warm linings, and enhanced traction, the Sk8-Hi Boot MTE is made for outdoor adventures. Stay warm and dry wherever you find yourself.
