Vans Old Skool - cult sneaker as a limited custom version

The History and Origins of the Vans Old Skool

The history of the Vans Old Skool is closely intertwined with the world of skateboarding and Californian subculture. This iconic sneaker was first introduced in 1977 by Vans, a company rooted in Anaheim, California. The idea for the Old Skool emerged from the necessity to develop a shoe that would meet the specific demands of skateboarders. Prior to this, skaters predominantly wore sneakers, which, however, proved not durable enough for the demanding tricks and jumps. The result was the Vans Old Skool, designed from the outset for durability and functionality. The distinctive feature of the Old Skool is the iconic side stripe, which not only provides a unique look but also offers additional durability in the areas where the shoe is most heavily used.

The Growing Popularity of the Vans Old Skool

In the years following its introduction, the Vans Old Skool quickly gained popularity, not only among skateboarders but also with a broader audience. The shoe's simple yet distinctive design appealed to many and became a symbol of youth culture and street fashion. The waffle sole of the Old Skool provided exceptional traction, making it ideal for skateboarding but also suitable for everyday wear.

Long-term report

I have been a very satisfied customer at Coutié for 6-7 years. The goods are always shipped very quickly and are of the highest quality. You can tell that there are people behind the label who think about it and try to bring new and interesting products onto the market. If you missed the 14-day period, there were no problems with the refund. :) That's why I'm always happy when I receive a new package. Because I know in advance that the products will satisfy me!

Coutie Vans SK-8 Hi

Really love Vans so when I saw the Coutie Sk-8 hi I couldn’t resist. Apart from the fact I missed it was a pre-order and there was a wait for it to be ready for delivery, the query was answered promptly and the shoes delivered quickly once I had been notified of them being dispatched. Will be keeping an eye out for more!
