Matt Varga Updated June 19th, 2025: Vans has the early drop on the upcoming Old Skool 36 Souvenir “Asphalt”. Their EQL raffle is live now ahead of the wider launch on June 25th.
The hype around Vans is undisputed at this point, but where you really identify it becoming a mainstream phenomenon is a bit more contentious. Though Satoshi Nakamoto proved that the California company could still churn out chase products and the “Pearlized” series has likely printed the most money, from where we sit, the Vans Old Skool 36 “Souvenir” was when things really began to bubble up.
Clearly, the sneaker giant wasn’t ultimately unsurprised by the success of the Chanel-inspired shoe, given that a “Burgundy” follow-up came to shelves just a few months later. Striking while the iron is hot, additional palette swaps have emerged out of their factories, beginning with a third “Oatmeal” and now joined by vibrant counterparts in blue and “Asphalt.” Though the vibrant boucle fabric and array of charms remain intact here, a woozier tie dye foundation paces the canvas base and the leather anchoring alongside turns to a steely blue.
Partnering retailers have listed the Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir in “Asphalt” with a June 25th release date. A $125 sticker price is expected upon arrival. Catch official studio images below.
