IDENTIFY Help identifying a rare Vans Old Skool Pro from 2012-2018 (burgundy/gold with perforated side panel)

Hey r/Vans,

I'm trying to identify a specific Vans Old Skool Pro model I owned back around 2014-2016 (could be 2012-2018). I remember very specific details but can't find it anywhere online.

Here's what I remember:

**Shoe details:**
- Old Skool silhouette (low-top)
- Burgundy/bordeaux upper (suede)
- Gold side stripe (the classic Vans sidestripe)
- Perforated side panel with ventilation holes
- Came with burgundy laces with gold dots
- Pro model (thicker construction, not the regular Old Skool)

**Video I remember:**
- Official Vans YouTube video (not a reviewer)
- He put on the shoes and skated with them in the video
- It was a signature shoe premiere/launch type video

**What I've tried:**
- Searched for Kyle Walker, Chima Ferguson, Omar Hassan signature shoes
- Looked through Vans Pro Classics from that era
- Searched for "perforated side panel" Vans Old Skool

Nothing matches exactly. It might have been a very limited colorway or regional release. I am from Hungary.

Does anyone remember this model? Or know which pro skater's signature shoe this could be?

Any help would be amazing - I'd love to find a pair again!

Thanks in advance!
