Already carrying a sense of character from the first glance, this take on the Old Skool 36 taps into Vans’ idea of a “souvenir” sneaker — something that feels personal, collected, and full of small stories. Distressed canvas, leather overlays, and a woven Sidestripe echo the brand’s long history of DIY customising and skate‑scene individuality, where texture and imperfection are part of the charm. The worn midsole, frayed edges, and removable pins lean into that keepsake‑inspired brief, giving the shoe the personality of something curated rather than simply designed. Underneath all the expressive detailing, the refined fit and comfort upgrades reflect the Premium line’s focus on elevating the original Style 36 blueprint. It’s a heritage silhouette shaped by craft and character, built to feel like a favourite from the moment you put them on.
