Vans Mid Skool '77 (Otw Pack)

The Mid Skool's cut down Old Skool brother might be the most familiar face of this design, made with boards in mind, and the 'jazz stripe' branding on the side, but in a mid-cut, it might just be the best sneaker for shorts there is. The 'Off The Wall' collection of the late '70s was the moment that Vans officially acknowledged their left coast skate audience with a collection of shoes made with skaters in mind, down to the addition of 'Off The Wall' to the heeltab. These reintroductions build on the stellar work of New York's Classic Kicks Vans collection from last year with simple, timeless colours and legendary shapes.
