Vans’ legacy is built on timeless silhouettes—styles that have lived through decades of subcultures, creative movements, and personal expression. Among them, the Old Skool stands as one of the most recognizable. Its sidestripe, introduced in the late '70s, quickly became a visual shorthand for craftsmanship, durability, and individuality. Today, the LX Old Skool 36 continues that lineage while offering subtle refinements designed for a modern audience. The LX Old Skool 36 Pearlized brings a new perspective to an archival icon. This iteration refines the heritage model with a suede and heavyweight 8 oz. canvas upper, paired with full-grain leather lining and 100% cotton laces. Staying true to the original construction, the model features a weathered midsole and contrast stitching that echo the handmade feel of early Vans production. Every detail reinforces the brand's dedication to authenticity.
