Premium Old Skool Mule

Vans got its start in 1966 in a small Anaheim, CA factory attached to its first retail store. In that one-stop shop they dreamed up new models, figured out how to build them, and chatted with regulars about where to go next. If you’ve ever sworn by a pair of Vans, you know how the story went from there. From their origins as the first true skate shoe for 1960s pool-trespassing skaters to Spicoli donning checkered Vans in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, they’ve grown into a staple—a quintessential canvas, vulcanized sneaker. To give you the full picture, we stocked our shop with a mix of their newest technical, outdoor footwear, and classics based on those originals they made out of Anaheim in the ‘60s and early ‘70s.

**Low-key mule with Old Skool attitude** The Vans Premium Old Skool Mule takes a skate icon and strips it down to its most laid-back form. Inspired by the original Old Skool silhouette, this remix combines the backless ease of a mule with the layered textures of a canvas-and-suede upper. A padded mule collar, lace-up front, and vulcanized outsole nod to decades of Vans design, while premium updates—like the Sola Foam ADC insole—take all-day comfort to the next level. Whether you're running out the door or staying on your feet for hours, these slip-ons bring that no-fuss, all-function feel—and still carry the legendary Vans’ Sidestripe™ along for the ride.
