Lace-up and low profile, the Old Skool VR3 was the first model to sport the iconic sidestripe. In line with our commitment to sustainability, their VR3 midsole is made with at least 25% bio-based EVA foam, partially derived from plant sources. They feature an internal lining, padded collar for added comfort, a reinforced toe that resists wear and the original Vans waffle outsole for superior grip.

In order to reduce Vans' overall environmental impact, our team has set ambitious sustainability goals. Every attempt we make, big or small, leads to positive change. VR3 represents Vans' commitment to sourcing 100% of its four major high-carbon materials (cotton, leather, rubber and polyester) from regenerative, renewable, responsibly sourced and/or recycled sources by 2030.
