Vans Old Skool VR3 Shoes - Grape Leaf

Re-envisioning our Iconic Sidestripe Shoe with Purposeful Materials

We’ve rebuilt some of our most iconic Classics with purposeful choices about the materials we use. Featuring uppers made from suede and organic cotton canvas, an outsole that uses natural rubber, and a biobased foam footbed for comfort you can feel good about, the Old Skool VR3 delivers a classic Vans aesthetic while working toward a better future.

Our team has set ambitious sustainability goals. Big or small, all of our efforts add up to positive change. To earn the VR3 Checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made up of one or a combination of recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials.
