The Vans LX Old Skool Gum Crystal Blue is part of the "MUSIC COLLECTION" 3rd edition, inspired by the hip-hop scene of the 2010s. This collection expresses connections to music culture across three different eras.
- The Old Skool, originally known as #36, debuted in 1977 as the second skateboard shoe from Vans, featuring the iconic sidestripe and leather paneling for enhanced durability.
- This updated version incorporates OG details such as a thicker, gloss-finished sidewall and foxing tape reinforced with Osnaburg material.
- It also includes a full-grain leather collar and a high-rebound PU foam "SOLA FOAM ADC" insole, developed with 30% bio-based materials.
- The "VANS PREMIUM" line focuses on modern design and construction for improved form, fit, and comfort.
