OTW by Vans, the brand’s premium line, is expanding its offering with two new additions to the Old Skool 36 Vibram silhouette: “Floral Black” and “Silver/Grey.” These releases seamlessly blend the classic low-top design of the Old Skool 36 with expressive and premium detailing.
The “Floral Black” pair features a vibrant, colorful floral textile upper, beautifully contrasted with black accents. The shoe’s upper is constructed with durable duck canvas and elevated with full-grain leather overlays on the toe cap, lace stay, and heel, providing a significantly more premium look and texture than the mainline products. Metal rivet details are also incorporated throughout the sneaker, adding a final refined touch to the design.
In contrast, the “Silver/Grey” pair exudes a rebellious attitude with a distressed canvas upper that showcases torn and frayed details, giving the sneaker an unapologetic, punk-inspired vibe. The predominantly black upper maintains a sleek and sharp aesthetic for the silhouette.
A notable feature shared by both pairs is the Vibram waffle outsole. This update ensures excellent traction and durability, while a cushioned insole provides all-day comfort. This new release preserves the spirit of the original Old Skool 36 design while pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship forward.
