Vans x Anti Hero Old Skool Pro Shoes

The Vans x Anti Hero Old Skool Pro Shoes take on an updated structure of the classic Old Skool silhouette using a super tough suede in an all over cardiel and camel colourway. Contrasting black accenting can be seen throughout the stitching and through a trim on the gum midsole, final detailing includes the classic Vans woven flag in red on the jazz stripe and a black Anti Hero label on the heel. Additionally the shoes feature a combination upper treated with Duracap reinforcement in high-stress areas to improve longevity, while the herringbone pattern along the toe box ensures traction for flip-tricks. Finally UltraCush HD sockliners provide some of the best impact protection in the industry currently, having truly been designed with skaters in mind.

These two skate moguls share a lot of things, both have a rich Californian based heritage that’s lead them to be some of the most respected companies in the game. However, the inspiration for this shoe’s colourway comes from their combined support of skater John Cardiel. Cardiel has been with Anti Hero from the get go helping them set up and he’s been with Vans since 1992.
