CUSTOM. SINCE BEFORE THAT WAS A THING.
Vans Customs have been a tradition since 1966, when Paul Van Doren made shoes with any fabric people brought by the shop. Today, the creativity is still in your hands. Pick your shoe, pick your colors and patterns, and make them yours.
The Old Skool, the first shoe to bear the iconic leather sidestripe and the go-to style for every skate enthusiast, is a low-top lace-up style made with durable canvas, metal eyelets, a padded tongue and lining and Vans signature Waffle Outsole. Now they’re available on Vans Customs where each shoe can be personalized with leather and suede, various lace and eyelet colors, exclusive patterns available only in Customs, and the option to Upload Your Art or photos from your computer or smartphone.
