The Style 36, Vans' second-ever skate shoe, was introduced in 1977. It marked the debut of the iconic Sidestripe (also known as the "Jazz Stripe"), cementing its place in sneaker history. In the early 90s, the Style 36 was rebranded as the Old Skool. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, it was officially recognized as a Vans Classic. The premium Old Skool 36 features design upgrades like a higher, glossy sidewall and intricate stitching details.
