The legend of Vans‘ flame-covered Old Skool is set to begin a new chapter with a trio of sneakers riffing on the concept.
The Vans Old Skool Archive Flame pack offers three colorways of the sneaker made to look like they’ve been well-worn. Leading the assortment is the original black and white shoe with a red, orange and yellow flame graphic running beneath its Jazz Stripe. Another black and white pair incorporates green into its heel, eyestay and laces and gets purple and white flames, while a white-dominant sneaker likewise gets grayscale flames.
Each of these three colorways features a heavy dose of scuffs on its midsole and embellished stitching on the upper as if they’ve been repaired. Metallic silver Jazz stripes also deviate from the standard source material.
