THE OGs OF MEN’S VANS

When you think of the Vans brand, there are probably a few shoes that come to mind. First and foremost, you may think of the one and the only, the absolute icon of Vans DNA, the Old Skool. Originally named simply “Style #36” and long popular among skaters and punk bands alike, this wild child of the ’60s was the first to incorporate the now ubiquitous side stripe. Over the years, Vans had developed a core belief that footwear becomes an extension of the wearer’s identity, and the classic cool of the Old Skool Vans has provided the perfect canvas for that expression. It was also the first Vans model to go all in on durability, with the aim of providing a more reliable shoe for skateboarders. The Authentic was Style #44, a simpler design that began to develop a cult following as it spread like wildfire across California in the ’70s. The Era — Style #95 — was a slight variation on the Authentic — a similar shape but with a padded collar for superior comfort while skating. And finally, in 1977, came Style #98 — the Slip-On. Although it was originally based on a boat shoe silhouette, it was soon adapted to incorporate a more similar construction to its predecessor, the Era. Loved by skaters for its simplicity and board feel, it also featured the famous Vans waffle outsole for robust grip. These legends of Vans were all born in the ’60s and ’70s but are still going strong today thanks to timeless style and fresh reimaginations.
