It’s hard to argue with the classics when it comes to your spring and summer style rotation, especially as you look to lace up a pair of the best sneakers for men. And it’s a good thing you can find a plentiful selection of sneakers both iconic and modern over at Huckberry, is it not? The pair in question today has been making style waves long before Huckberry’s 2011 launch however.

Yes indeed, the Vans Old Skool has been a rightful style classic for decades, beloved by everyone from skaters to rock legends to stylish fellas like you and me.

And for 2025, the Vans Old Skool gets a Premium update (they’re called the Vans Premium Old Skool, after all). The premium update arrives in the form of a Gum Sepia combination that allows the Vans Old Skool stripe detailing to shine — just like you remember ’em from days gone by, but with a fresh, new twist. In fact, I’d consider the Vans Premium Old Skool a more grown-up version of your favorite skate shoes, one you still can wear with casual style at the forefront.

The biobased foam insole gives the Vans Premium Old Skool a springy, sustainable touch, while the company also upgraded these kicks with ’90s-era foxing tape for added durability. It’s the combination of Sepia tones with a gum rubber outsole that gives the Vans Premium Old Skool a point of distinction, though, along with a full-grain leather collar lining.

Suffice to say, the Vans Premium Old Skool should prove more durable, comfortable and dependable — and just as stylish — when compared to your favorite vintage pair of Vans men’s sneakers.

The throwback-inspired color combination is just one option as you shop for your fairly priced pair of Vans Premium Old Skool sneakers (you can score them right now at Huckberry for $90. of note). They deliver some serious bang for your buck, particularly when styled with light wash jeans and a classic pocket tee, or else with tailored chino shorts and a fresh navy polo.

For a stylish pair of sneakers that have stood the test of time, the Vans Premium Old Skool sneakers deliver the goods yet again this spring and summer.
