The Old Skool is the first ever Vans model to sport the familiar, wavy stripe on its side, but you don’t maintain this level of popularity over a span of decades just because of a trivia factoid.  

The timeless looks of the canvas/suede upper and the reliability of the reinforced toecaps and padded collars that stand up to the shoe punishing rigors of skating continue to make the Old Skool a favorite in all its forms. 

Vans’ Anaheim Factory Collection honors our 50 + years of making footwear history by reintroducing iconic silhouettes that celebrate unique design details informed by the original Vans make and model.

Paying tribute to our first Vans factory in Anaheim, California, the Anaheim Factory Old Skool 36 DX borrows details from the original Old Skool while offering modernized comfort with upgraded Ortholite® sockliners. Along with throwback details like the original style number, higher glossed foxing tape, original drill lining weight, and cotton laces, this iconic sidestripe shoe features vintage-inspired suede and textile uppers with a reissued checkerboard print to complete the look.
