Even more than something like the Authentic and Era, whose plimsoll style is fairly ubiquitous, the 1977-born Off the Wall lowtop pictured above has a particularly ‘vintage’ feel. Vans Old Skool might be the most appropriate name in the skate sneaker world, this toe-capped lowtop about to release a new mix of blue suede and canvas plus a bit of gold on the Jazz stripe it introduced some thirty-five years ago. Stick with Sneaker News for word on US availability and let us know whether it was the Old Skool or Sk8-Hi that was Vans’ best ’77.
