The Old Skool 36 Souvenir is a new limited-edition sneaker launching today, blending vintage Chanel-inspired aesthetics with Vans’ skate heritage. The warming brown canvas upper features spray-painted variations for an aged, lived-in look, while brown leather overlays reinforce high‑wear areas. A multicolored tweed jazz stripe nods to Chanel messenger bag fabrics, and removable Vans-themed pins add a collectible touch.
Underneath the classic silhouette, the Old Skool 36 maintains modern skate performance with reinforced stitching, padded collars, and cushioned footbeds. The “Souvenir” edition is already selling out online, with wider retail availability expected on August 8. This release marks Vans’ playful take on merging high fashion inspirations with skate culture, giving collectors and core fans a stylish, textured update to a beloved classic.
