The Iconic Shoe that Brought our Sidestripe to Life: This is the Old Skool. Paying tribute to our first Vans factory in Anaheim California the Old Skool Reissue 36 LX Shoes borrow details from the Old Skool. Along with throwback details like the original style number and higher glossed foxing tape these iconic sidestripe shoes feature suede and canvas uppers to complete the look.
