This season, the Old Skool 36 Souvenir will be available in Asphalt, Faded Black, Oatmeal and Navy. The release comes off the heels of the recent and now sold-out styles of the Old Skool 36 Souvenir in Warm Brown and Burgundy. The Old Skool 36 Souvenir is a cultural token, a keepsake for self-expression and a style that continues to represent Vans’ Off The Wall mindset. The silhouette also reflects the brand’s Premium ethos and design — emphasizing modern comfort, elevated materials, and updated form, fit, and feeling of Vans classic models.

The Souvenir Old Skool first debuted in Warm Brown in August, sparking buzz across the community. The sequel followed in September with a limited Burgundy release. The December reissue marked the next chapter in the Souvenir story.

Souvenir "Warm Brown"

 

The shoe showed up looking like nothing else: spray-painted canvas, leather hits, a tweed Sidestripe™, and a line of “Souvenir” Vans pins tagging along like they’d been collected over years of travel. It’s more like a one-off custom than something straight out of the box, and that was the point.

 

Vans has always been about remixing the classics. The Souvenir tapped that DIY spirit, twisting the Old Skool into something new without losing the roots.

Souvenir "Burgundy"

 

The sequel didn't switch up the formula, spray-painted canvas, tweed Sidestripe™, and those “Souvenir” pins are all still here. What changes is the tone. Drop two trades the warm earthy tones of the first drop for a deep wine upper that feels sharper, heavier, and built for fall. Where the original leaned into that well-traveled, sun-faded look, Burgundy brought a darker edge.
