Matt Varga Call it a brand resurgence, call it “rising tides raise all boats.” There’s no doubt that Vans’ current design hot streak has increased attention to all of their offerings, turning general releases into sell-out events for multiple consecutive seasons now. The Vans Old Skool has been a particular benefeciary of this, of course host to the “Pearlized” series but additionally adding styles like the La Habana, Souvenir, or Paint Splatter to further its profile.
Whether you’re a newfound adoptee of Style 36 or have been rocking with the skate icon for years, Vans is now aiming to keep the silhouette in your rotation even as the weather turns. GORE-Tex is the latest addition the Old Skool, ensuring waterproofing and overall hardiness on the same old laid-back profile. To be clear, the California company has turned to the patented material before, notably with the Sk8 Hi MTE-3, but that was a more comprehensive overhaul towards “sneakerboot” territory. Here, flooded olive and black colorways allow you to keep your standard style intact while still standing up to the elements.
The Vans Old Skool 36 GORE-Tex is available now via Vans.com, retailing for $130. Catch official images below to make your selection; hit our “Where To Buy” links to secure yours once your mind is made up.
