The Old Skool, the second skate shoe Vans ever made, became an icon far beyond the skateboarding world, especially in the underground music scene. Now, almost 50 years later, the label is celebrating this connection with the Premium Old Skool Music Collection, which consists of three unique capsules inspired by different eras of the Old Skool in music. The Punk Capsule revives leopard prints and eye-catching solid colors in reference to the colors used by the early punk and hardcore musicians of the 70s and 80s. The updated premium construction features the same iconic Old Skool silhouette, but refined for today with advanced cushioning and an improved fit. Glossy sidewalls, a higher foxing tape and branding from the archives pay homage to the original details of the Vans models from the 90s. Thanks to the use of sustainable materials, such as an outsole made from regenerative rubber and a bio-based insole, the premium Old Skool is up to date in every respect
