Vans old skool is considered a classic sneaker and is loved all around the world. The sneaker will always be considered classic no matter what footwear trends are going on, and this is why a pair of Vans old school should be in every man’s closet. The shoes are unisex and have been in the industry for decades now.
Old skool comes in the category of skate shoes. The design of the shoes is plain and minimal. The materials used in making these shoes are good quality suede, rubber and canvas.
After owning the sneakers for years now, I can say that Vans old skool is very well-made. Just like other Vans shoes. You have to just make sure to get your hands on a genuine product and not a knock-off.
The popular black and white colorway
The most popular colorway in the vans old skool line is the one that has a black upper and white sole and side stripe(let’s call it the black and white colorway). It is sometimes hard to get the original version of this sneaker and is almost never on discount. It might be considered affordable in the North American market where it sells for around USD60(INR4400) but not in some other countries. The shoe is always on back to school affordable shoe lists but it’s not the case in other countries.
In India, the black and white colorway (I) is hard to find online and (II) is expensive making it an unsuitable sneaker option for teens and school-goers. The genuine version of these shoes is very difficult or almost impossible to find on e-commerce sites. There are a lot of sellers on these sites selling fakes though, that we would never recommend buying.
Colors
Other than the black and white colorway, the old school comes in a lot of different colors. This old school in beige is an example of a stylish and elegant sneaker. It is also cheaper than the black and white version and is on discount occasionally. Similar colors like maroon, white and yellow can also be found on various e-commerce sites.
When it comes to back to school sneaker lists or any other affordable sneaker lists, these shoes available in various colors are the best alternative to the black and white colorway. Other than being one of the best sneakers options for teens, they are also affordable. You can get a pair on Amazon for as low as INR2300 (USD30) when on sale.
These sneakers in beige color can be worn all year round. They can be styled in various ways and denim and chinos are the best pants to pair them with.
