Vans Old Skool ‘Archive Flame’ Pack

Vans leaned deep into its own archive for April 2026 with an Archive Flame Pack on the Old Skool, channeling one of the brand’s most iconic historical graphics with a trio of colorways featuring flames and deliberate faux-aging. The Old Skool is Vans‘ foundational silhouette, and the Archive Flame treatment honored that history with the kind of worn-in patina the brand’s roots demand.

Three colorways (black, green, and white), each carried the flame graphics with their own distinct character, giving collectors reason to pursue multiple pairs. The aged construction details added authenticity to the archival storytelling.

The Vans Old Skool Archive Flame Pack retailed at $105 per pair and released April 1, 2026 through Vans and select skateboarding and lifestyle retailers.
