Vans Old Skool VR3 'Black/True White' VN0005UB1KP

Vans Old Skool VR3 — Style No. VN0005UB1KP

The Vans Old Skool VR3 'Black/True White' is the Old Skool at its most essential — and its most evolved. Black canvas and suede with a True White Jazz Stripe: the colorway that defined the Old Skool when it debuted in 1977 as Vans's first shoe to feature the iconic side stripe. The VR3 platform brings upgraded cushioning and support to the silhouette without changing a single thing about what makes it great.
