About Vans Skate Old skool 36 shoes - Black / Navy
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.
