About the Vans Old Skool VR3 "Black White"

The VR3 version of the Old Skool keeps the silhouette's proportions and changes what goes into it. This pair lands in flat black suede, with white laces and the white leather sidestripe providing the only contrast anywhere on the upper. The foxing tape wrapping the vulcanised sole is white as well, so the shoe reads as two tones and nothing else. That restraint is the reason black-and-white versions of this model tend to outlast seasonal prints on a shelf.

Underneath the colour choices, the build follows the usual skate brief: a reinforced toe cap, a padded collar around the ankle, metal eyelets through the lacing and the waffle tread Vans has run underfoot for decades. It released on February 13, 2024. Suede in a dark shade hides creasing better than canvas does, and scuffs across the toe read as wear rather than damage, while the pale sidestripe stays legible long after the upper has softened and slouched.
