Flat-pedal riders know the difference a good shoe makes, and this one’s built to stay locked in. The firm sole gives consistent support on long climbs, while the sticky rubber compound bites into pedal pins for confident control in any conditions. Reinforced panels stand up to crank rub and rough terrain, and the low-profile shape keeps them comfortable for wearing around town once the ride’s done. The Vans Old Skool BMX brings proven skate heritage into a package tuned for the trails.

About Vans
Vans has been core since ’66—rider-owned, rider-driven, and in it for the long haul. From legends like Steve Caballero and Jeff Rowley to modern powerhouses like Zion Wright, Lizzie Armanto, and Arthur Longo, Vans has always backed the ones pushing skate, snow, and BMX from the inside out. They didn’t just show up when it got cool—they helped build the culture. Whether it’s Half Cabs at a DIY, Hi-Standards in waist-deep pow, or MTB shoes built to take a beating, Vans gear is made to ride and made to last.
