Contemporary Chunky Sole Footwear

Vans Unveils a New Iteration of the Old Skool Overt CC Sneaker

— August 3, 2022 — Lifestyle
Vans introduces a brand new iteration of the signature Old Skool Overt CC sneaker model for the season. The brand gives the shoe contemporary updates without compromising the original design too much, starting with the overall fit of the shoe, providing a roomier design. It also sits on top of an oversized sole unit foundation and has a 360-degree sculpted midsole base.

This is added to create a compression channel crumble zone along with an outsole plate made from rubber in order to provide grip and traction. Comfortable elements include the molded removable insole base and the additional foam around the tongue, the quarter panels, and the collar sections. It comes in the colorway options of either Light Grey or Sand and White.
