Old Skool

The Style 36, the second skate shoe ever created by Vans, debuted in 1977. It was the first Vans shoe with the legendary Sidestripe™ (also known as "Jazz Stripe") and was to take its permanent place in shoe history. The Style 36 was renamed Old Skool™ in the early 90s. On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, it officially became a Vans Classic. Design details of the premium Old Skool 36 shoes include a higher shiny sidewall and stitching details.
