Vans is once again drawing on its 1970s skateboarding roots with the re-release of the legendary Old Skool 36, a model that remains deeply faithful to the original, iconic Style 36 silhouette.
The design of the Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir perfectly balances durability and structure thanks to a mix of soft, faded black smooth leather on the toe and heel, paired with faded, textured canvas side panels.
The iconic Sidestripe™ side stripe ditches the classic leather for a fringed, multicolored jacquard fabric insert, adding a vibrant, DIY-inspired twist. A similar yarn also trims the top edge of the tongue.
The side panel is embellished with a set of applied souvenir pins with an aged finish, featuring iconic graphics such as the smiley face, the yin-yang symbol, a green checkered pattern, and the “I Heart Vans” slogan, giving the shoe a strong collector's appeal.
