First released in 1977, the Style 36, aka the Old Skool, was just the second skate shoe Vans 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. Combining a padded tongue and shorter toe cap the Style 36+ is designed with all the performance upgrades that you've come to expect. The Vans' DURACAP technology reinforces high-wear areas, ensuring the shoe withstands the demands of skateboarding. SICKSTICK gum rubber compound and waffle sole provides superior grip and board control, while the POPCUSH insole technology provides optimal cushioning, ultimate impact protection, and energy return for a smooth experience during even the most intense skate sessions.
