Vans highlight a thunderbolt motif with the new Old Skool Bolt sneaker model joining its roster. It features a classic look complete with linework that is seen along the midfoot section of the shoe, creating a lightning bolt shape on each side of the silhouette. The typical Old Skool jazz stripe elements are retained including the canvas construction.
Each shoe is detailed in a dual-tonal palette, comprised of four options in total. All of these start out with a white tonal base foundation before it is detailed with tones of either blue, red, green, or black in a contrasting tone. All four of the '2 Tone' colorways are now available to shop online at Oneness.
