Vans Premium Old Skool - Gum Sepia

First released in 1977, the Style 36—aka the Old Skool™—was just the second skate shoe we ever made, and the first to feature the iconic SideStripe™. Designed by and for the pioneers of skateboarding, it quickly became an icon beyond the world of skate—particularly in underground music scenes. For almost 50 years, the Old Skool™’s connection to underground music scenes continued to grow. Today, we’re celebrating this unending connection with the Premium Old Skool™ Music Collection, featuring three unique capsules inspired by different eras and genres of music. The Premium Old Skool™ is also built with modern refinements that take it to the next level. The Premium build features the enhanced cushioning of our soft and removable Sola Foam ADC insoles for all-day comfort. The upgraded footbed and materialization results in a more seamless fit, while the glossy sidewalls, higher foxing tape, and archival branding honor the original details of ’90s-era Vans footwear. We also designed it with sustainable materials—like the regenerative rubber outsole and biobased insole—to make sure the Premium Old Skool™ is truly elevated in every way.
