Vans | Skate Old Skool 36+ Shoe (Black/Navy)

Feel Something New

First released in 1977, the Style 36—aka the Old Skool™—was just the second skate shoe we ever made, and the first to feature the iconic Sidestripe™. Designed for and by skateboarders, the Old Skool’s first-of-its-kind suede toe cap truly enabled the progression of skateboarding. And now, we’re honoring this heritage of innovation with the Skate Old Skool™ 36+, a brand-new skate shoe that maintains much of the original Style 36 silhouette and panel proportions, but with a modern twist. The shorter toe cap and padded tongue create a chunkier stance for a completely fresh take on the original. As with the original, the 36+ is designed for skateboarding, but with all the modern performance upgrades that you can find in the Skate Old Skool™—from the grippy SICKSTICK™ rubber to the long-lasting DURACAP™ reinforcements.
