Madewell x Vans® Unisex Old Skool Lace-Up Sneakers in Ombre Stripe Canvas Synonymous with skateboarders, surfers and Southern California (where the brand was founded in 1966), Vans is a true sneaker icon. We joined forces on this exclusive pair of canvas lace-ups with a blue ombre version of their signature side-stripe. When you select your size, "H" equals a half size. Unisex sizing: Please size down 1 1/2 sizes; a size 4 1/2 is a women's size 6. Canvas upper. Rubber sole. Import.
