The Vans Old Skool 'Vans Premium Pig Suede Blue' is a premium iteration of the historic skate shoe, updated with modern design principles for enhanced form, fit, and comfort. Originally known as the Style 36 and released in 1977, it was the second skate shoe to feature the iconic sidestripe and reinforced leather panels. This premium version builds upon the OG details with a thicker, glossed sidewall and foxing tape reinforced with Osnaburg material, while incorporating a full-grain leather collar and a high-rebound PU foam insole made with 30% bio-based materials.
