A refined take on the 2nd skate shoe Vans ever made
Style 36 was the first to rock Vans’ iconic “Sidestripe™” silhouette. Since the addition of the foxing tape to bind the patterned outsole to the upper, little else from the original design has needed changing. Fast-forward to now—this fresh iteration comes in a handsome canvas and cow suede with full-grain leather lining the collar and high, gloss-finished sidewalls for a secure fit. With added Sola Foam ADC cushioning in the insole, you’ve got all-day, shreddable comfort built into a 70s skate legend.

About Vans
Vans got its start in 1966 in a small Anaheim, CA factory attached to its first retail store. In that one-stop shop they dreamed up new models, figured out how to build them, and chatted with regulars about where to go next. If you’ve ever sworn by a pair of Vans, you know how the story went from there. From their origins as the first true skate shoe for 1960s pool-trespassing skaters to Spicoli donning checkered Vans in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, they’ve grown into a staple—a quintessential canvas, vulcanized sneaker.
