Vans began cranking out their vulcanized waffle sole lowtops all the way back in 1966. Soon after, the Van Doren brothers recognized that skaters were wearing their deck shoes for the rebellious new sport whose nexus made it a neighbor to the original Anaheim Vans factory. In 1976, Steve Van Doren commissioned the first ever skateboarding shoe, and the Authentic’s padded offspring the Vans Era was born. Along with the Old Skool that debuted the Jazz stripe two years later, Vans Vault is resurrecting classic renditions including the OG Style 36 two-tone colorways and a trio of OG Palm Leaf Eras in colors inspired by the edgy ’80s. These five pairs will hit Vault retailers this June and you can see each one after the jump below.
