A Decade of Dreams: Celebrating 10 Years of the Sole Classics x Vans "A-8SC"

Ten years ago, Sole Classics and Vans came together to craft more than just a sneaker—they built a tribute. A love letter to imagination, innovation, and the fearless pursuit of dreams. The A-8SC, the first in the Birthplace of Aviation pack, wasn’t just about footwear. It was about honoring the dreamers, the engineers, the risk-takers—those who dared to believe that a person from Wapakoneta, OH, could make it all the way to the Moon.

Inspired by the very space suits that carried astronauts beyond our world, the A-8SC wasn’t just about aesthetics. Its design, infused with Outlast® technology, mirrored the function of those legendary suits—keeping feet warm in the cold, cool in the heat, and always ready for the next journey. A decade later, the message behind the shoe remains just as powerful: Never give up your dreams.

To those who laced up a pair of A-8SCs—whether as collectors, as fans, or as believers in the story it tells—thank you. You’ve carried this vision forward, and just like the pioneers who inspired it, you continue to push boundaries and chase the impossible.

Here’s to ten years of dreaming big. And to the next ten—because the journey is far from over. 🚀
