First known as the Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the “jazz stripe.” Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable-and instantly recognizable-hallmark of the Vans brand. Constructed with durable suede and canvas uppers in a range of fresh colorways, the Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also features re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.

The original MR530 combined turn of the millennium aesthetics with the reliability of a high milage running shoe. The reintroduced 530 applies a contemporary, everyday style outlook to this performance-minded design. A segmented ABZORB midsole is paired with a classic mesh and synthetic overlay upper design, which utilizes sweeping curves and angles for a distinctive, high-tech look.
The Reds are once again embracing a green hue for road games next term.
Compared with the neon green and white used last season, Nike are going with a darker green in 2024-25, a tint that is more akin to their 2022-24 third kit and a clearer throwback to the tone of the classic green away kits of the early 1990s.
