The Vans Old Skool, initially christened 'Style 36', emerged in 1977, marking a pivotal moment in footwear history. It was the first Vans design to incorporate the now-iconic Sidestripe™, a stroke of design that would define the brand. This groundbreaking model, with its durable leather panels, was quickly embraced by skateboarders and BMX riders who valued its robust construction and timeless style. The 'Potting Soil Brown' colorway, set to be released on December 4, 2024, continues this legacy.
The Vans Old Skool 36 'Premium' in 'Potting Soil Brown' is designed for versatile, everyday wear, seamlessly blending into any wardrobe. Rooted in skate culture, this model has been artfully redefined, extending its appeal beyond the skate park. The Sola Foam All-Day-Comfort (ADC) insole, incorporating at least 30% bio-based PU foam, provides exceptional cushioning. The regenerative gum rubber outsoles deliver superior traction, ensuring comfort and stability.
The cultural impact of the Vans Old Skool is undeniable, extending across several subcultures. The shoe's influence is evident in the fashion choices of icons across the globe. The Old Skool's simple design and durable construction have made it a favorite among musicians and artists, appearing in music videos and on stage. Its presence continues to be felt in streetwear, where it is a staple. The Vans Old Skool has become a canvas for self-expression, embraced by those who value both style and substance.
This iteration of the Old Skool 36 'Premium' boasts a low-top silhouette, meticulously crafted with a layered upper of premium canvas and supple suede. The design incorporates reinforced toecaps, ensuring durability against the wear and tear of daily use. A full-grain leather collar lining adds a touch of luxury, while the inclusion of the signature Sidestripe™ and a padded collar enhances both aesthetics and comfort.
