Vans Skate Old Skool VCU Shoes - Mike Gigliotti Black/Blue

This season Vans is excited to bring another collection to life with artist and friend Mike Gigliotti. As the artist of Lotties Skateshop, Mike’s gritty aesthetic, edgy illustrations, and strong ties to skateboarding’s core provided the perfect collaboration.

Bringing “Off The Wall” style to Vans classics style, the Mike Gigliotti Skate Old Skool VCU elevates the iconic Old Skool with a new build and custom artwork. Completely redesigned with skaters in mind, the Skate Old Skool delivers more of what skaters need to enable maximum progression. Features like fully revised suede and canvas uppers, a recut of the DURACAP™ underlay, and SickStick™ rubber outsoles enhance this legendary style while Mike’s graphics spice up the quarters and heels.

The Mike Gigliotti Skate Old Skool VCU gives the look you want with all the performance benefits real skaters demand. Because skate classics are made for skateboarding.
