Style 36 was Vans’ first shoe to rock the iconic “Sidestripe™”. Over the years, little about the original design has changed. The ‘90s saw the addition of foxing tape to bind the iconic, patterned outsole to the upper. Fast-forward to now, this iteration comes with a handsome suede upper, high gloss-finished sidewalls for a secure fit, and Sola Foam ADC cushioning in the insole for all-day, shreddable comfort. A woven “Vans” flag sewn into the upper rounds out this retro ‘70s skate shoe.

About Vans
Vans got its start in 1966 in a small Anaheim, CA factory attached to its first retail store. In that one-top 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. To give you the full picture, we stocked our shop with a mix of their newest technical, outdoor footwear, and classics based on those originals they made out of Anaheim in the ‘60s and early ‘70s.
