The vibrant flame design gives this pair standout visual appeal for collectors, skaters, and casual wear enthusiasts alike.

The waffle outsoles still show usable tread, and the shoes retain strong overall structure. Please review all photographs carefully for exact cosmetic condition and wear details.
This pair features durable suede toe panels, canvas side sections with flame graphics, white leather Vans side stripe branding, white lace-up closure, padded collars, and classic gum waffle traction outsoles.

Vans originally launched the Old Skool silhouette in 1977 as Style 36, becoming the first Vans shoe to feature the now-famous side stripe logo. Flame graphic variations later became highly popular within skateboarding, punk, and streetwear communities thanks to their bold California-inspired design language.
These sneakers appeal to sneaker collectors, skateboarding enthusiasts, streetwear fans, Y2K fashion collectors, and casual wear buyers looking for an iconic Vans silhouette with standout flame styling and versatile everyday wearability.
