Lil Uzi Vert x Vans partner to spotlight the refreshed ‘Premium Old Skool’ sneaker. Known for pushing boundaries across music, fashion, and skate culture, the artist brings his signature flair to the classic silhouette — modeling it in two updated colorways: Black/White and True White. The visuals, styled with Uzi’s ombre spiked hair and layered jewelry, underscore Vans’ ethos of self-expression and individuality.

First introduced in 1977, the Old Skool has been subtly modernized over time with improved insoles and upgraded construction. According to Vans’ head of footwear design Diandre Fuentes, the goal is to preserve the sneaker’s legacy while elevating the wearer’s experience through material innovation and comfort. The sneaker campaign taps into Uzi’s Philly-born skate-punk sensibility, reinforcing his role as a cultural chameleon bridging genres and generations.
