As the second skate shoe we ever made, the Old Skool became an icon beyond the world of skateboarding—particularly in underground music scenes. Now, almost 50 years later, we’re celebrating this bond with the Premium Old Skool Music Collection—featuring three unique capsules inspired by different eras of the Old Skool in music. The Punk Capsule revives bold leopard prints and standout solids, echoing colorways first adopted by early punk and hardcore musicians in the ’70s and ’80s. Our updated Premium build is the same iconic Old Skool silhouette refined for today with enhanced cushioning and an improved fit. Glossy sidewalls, higher foxing tape and archival branding honor the original details of ‘90s era-Vans footwear. Designed with sustainable materials like the regenerative rubber outsole and biobased insoles, the Premium Old Skool is truly elevated in every way.
