Vans Old Skool 36 LX 'Souvenir Asphalt'

The Vans Old Skool 36 LX Souvenir in Asphalt is a June 2026 release of the Old Skool 36 LX — Vans' luxury-positioned premium tier of the Old Skool silhouette that applies upgraded materials, construction specifications, and design details above the standard Old Skool's core canvas and suede construction — in an Asphalt colorway that applies the dark, slightly warm grey of pavement to the LX format's premium material palette, creating the most urban and most street-contextually grounded expression of the Souvenir design concept. The Old Skool 36 LX designation combines the model's 36th anniversary lineage with the LX (Luxury) premium specification that Vans applies to its most elevated material expressions of heritage silhouettes, with the LX format typically featuring premium suede, leather, or textile combinations and refined construction details that distinguish it from the standard Old Skool's everyday construction. The Souvenir concept adds a travel and memory-referential dimension to the Asphalt LX, suggesting a shoe that commemorates a specific place, moment, or cultural reference with the kind of collector-specific meaning that makes souvenir objects among the most emotionally charged and most personally significant items in collections. Released June 25, 2026 at $125 retail through Vans and authorized lifestyle footwear retailers globally.
