About Vans Sid
The tennis shoe with the big V
The Vans Sid is a low-cut retro sneaker that draws on Vans’ tennis shoes from the 1970s. Its most striking feature is the large, interlaced V that runs as a logo along the side, much larger than the well-known Vans sidestripe. Below sits a thick, vulcanized sole with a double stripe in the foxing, and the upper is made of canvas or suede. It’s a clean, somewhat feminine-looking court sneaker with a distinctive brand mark.
Canvas or suede, with vulcanized sole
The construction is classic Vans. The upper comes in canvas or soft suede, low-cut and sleek, with the large V on the side as the focal point. Underfoot is a vulcanized sole with the characteristic double stripe along the foxing, which gives the shoe a slightly more robust, elevated stance. It’s the familiar Vans construction with its own, retro tennis shape.
From Vans’ retro court corner
The Sid belongs to Vans’ heritage and court models, alongside classics like the Old Skool and related retro silhouettes such as the Lampin. Where the Old Skool carries the familiar sidestripe, the Sid stands out with the enlarged V. Together they show how Vans brings its archive back in different forms.
A wide color palette
The Sid has appeared in a wide range of executions, from solid canvas and suede to prints like tiger camo, checkerboard and glitter, plus women-specific colorways. The shape and the large V remain the same; the material and the print determine the character. That makes the model’s offering broad and playful.
What varies between versions
The low court shape, the large V and the vulcanized sole with double stripe remain the same across versions. What changes is the material, canvas or suede, and the color or print. Place two versions side by side and the shoe is the same; the styling changes.
