Vans is fresh off the release of one of their most viral sneakers in recent memory, the Vans Premium Old Skool 36 Souvenir. The Cali-based brand took inspiration from the high-fashion world for the DIY-esque color scheme, more specifically, the Chanel On The Pavement Messenger bag from Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection. While this pair sold out instantly online via Vans’ website, there’s a second colorway joining the collection in September.
Just like the original colorway, this burgundy-shaded version of the Old Skool 36 Souvenir features a distressed upper with an acid-washed finish. The same pre-worn and DIY-esque details remain, like the vintage-style pins displaying Vans logos and the multi-color tweed jazz stripe and tongue lining.
