VANS SKATE - SKATE OLD SKOOL (LIGHT OLIVE / KHAKI)
Style Code: VN000EDNLOK1
First introduced in 1977 as the "Style 36"—the first skate shoe to feature the legendary Vans Sidestripe—the Old Skool remains an irreplaceable classic in skateboarding history. Fully modernized under the Vans Skate Classics banner, the Vans Skate Old Skool in Light Olive / Khaki combines timeless low-top heritage with heavy-duty skate technology engineered for daily street and park progression.
Dressed in an earthy Light Olive and Khaki colorway, this pro-grade shoe pairs heavy-duty suede and canvas upper paneling with modern performance features. Upgrades include DURACAP™ rubber underlays in high-wear zones, a super-tacky SickStick™ rubber waffle outsole, elevated sidewalls for extra board protection, and PopCush™ impact-absorbing footbeds to handle harsh landings.
