Vans is once again drawing on its 1970s skateboarding roots by reintroducing 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, cream-colored smooth leather on the toe and heel, paired with side panels made of faded, textured canvas.
The iconic side Sidestripe™ ditches the classic leather for a fringed, multicolored jacquard fabric insert, adding a vibrant, edgy touch with a DIY aesthetic. 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 checkerboard pattern, and the slogan "I Heart Vans,” giving the shoe a strong collector's appeal.
