Ahhhh the tale of Doobie, once a humble skateboarder from a small French village, now king of the high seas, bestowing us mere mortals with his own take on the Vans Skate Old Skool. This is no ordinary Old Skool, however; this is the mythical “Doobie” Skate Old Skool Net, a brand-new update on the iconic heritage skating shoe.

Much like the man they’re named after, there’s more to these shoes than meets the eye. The design features a unique mesh stash pocket in the tongue to keep your treasures safe, water resistant hairy suede for when things get a bit rocky, heavy-duty laces and beefed up 10oz canvas side panels to make ‘em as durable as your old waders. Finished off with a woven side stripe and custom footbed designed by iconic skateboard artist Todd Francis, these beauties really are the stuff of legend.

The Skate Old Skool boasts Sturdy suede and canvas to make up the uppers, with Duracap reinforcement rubber underlays in key areas adding unrivaled durability that can withstand daily skateboarding abuse.

PopCush sockliners are low profile enough to keep your feet close to the board while still providing the highest level of impact cushioning. Vans proprietary SickSlick gum rubber compound creates an outsole that's got more grip and durability than any before.
