Supreme x Vans Old Skool Pro
Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Vans Old Skool was introduced in 1977 as the first Vans shoe to feature the side stripe, originally added as a reinforcement stitch that became the brand's defining mark. The Old Skool Pro upgrades the construction with a reinforced toecap and UltraCush HD sockliners for skate performance. The FW20 Supreme collab applies a repeating grid pattern of the Supreme wordmark across the suede and canvas upper, an exclusive print not available through Vans retail, in Black, White, and Navy colorways. It retailed for $98 and released September 10, 2020.
