Vans UA Old Skool Platform Trainers - Black/White

The Vans Old Skool Platform is a platformed version of an iconic silhouette that first debuted in 1977 as Style 36. It was among the early skate shoes to feature the distinctive side stripe. This model presents a black colorway with a black platformed sole, and a combination of materials described as durable uppers. It emphasizes comfort off the board, rather than performance on the board. The design notes include a black suede upper with black canvas under panelling and white details, paired with a 25.4 mm raised sole unit. The uppers are described as revised suede and canvas for durability, with additional material variations including leather and textile options in different variants, and linings described as imitation leather or textile with a sole of synthetics and a textile or similar insole.
