Our take on the Vans Upland White/Black Men's Shoes

The Vans Upland is a low-top skate shoe that revives the chunky, panel-heavy look of early-2000s skate footwear. It uses a mix of leather and textile panels over a padded collar and a vulcanized-style sole, so it reads bulkier and more retro than the slim Authentic or Era. It suits skaters and casual wearers who want a Y2K-styled Vans rather than a minimal one. Against the Old Skool it is heavier and more fashion-forward; against the Knu Skool it is less exaggerated and easier to wear every day.

Questions and answers

Is the Vans Upland good for actual skateboarding?

Yes, it is built as a skate shoe with a padded collar, a reinforced upper and Vans' waffle outsole. The extra bulk gives more protection than a slim Authentic, though it offers less board feel.

How does the Upland compare with the Old Skool?

The Upland is chunkier and more Y2K in shape, with more layered panels and padding. The Old Skool is lower-profile and lighter, and remains the more classic everyday choice.

Does the Upland fit true to size?

Most people take their usual Vans size. The padded collar makes the heel snug, so wide-footed wearers may prefer trying half a size up.

Is the white upper hard to keep clean?

The white leather and textile panels show dirt and scuffs easily. Wiping them after wear and using a protector spray helps keep them looking fresh.

What is in the box?

The shoes come as a pair with standard laces already fitted. No extra laces or care kit are included.

Can I wear the Upland for everyday walking?

Yes, the padded collar and cushioned footbed make it comfortable for casual wear. It is heavier than a running shoe, so long walks suit it less.
