The Vans Old Skool 36 LX “Souvenir” in Warm Brown is one of those pairs that instantly stands out to me because it keeps the heritage feel but elevates it properly. Originally known as Style 36, this silhouette was one of the first skate shoes created by Vans and the first to feature the iconic jazz stripe, and that legacy still hits today. What I love about this Souvenir edition is the rich warm brown suede and canvas upper combined with detailed embroidery that gives it that premium, almost collectible feel while still being completely wearable. The vintage inspired foxing and stitching keep it true to the late 70s design, but the upgraded comfort makes it easy for everyday rotation. The colourway is super versatile too, it pairs effortlessly with cargos, denim, neutral tones and layered autumn fits, making it one of those understated but strong additions to any collection.
Vans popularity is increasing again & the brand is finding its way back into everyday rotations and streetwear conversations, and there is definitely momentum building. This could be a big year for Vans collaborations, and if that happens, pairs like this 36 LX will only become more relevant as people reconnect with the core silhouettes that built the brand in the first place.
This pair is all about heritage, quality and clean styling done right.
