Inspired by the original 1977 iteration of the Old Skool, the Skate Old Skool 36+ combines the evergreen style of Vans' most iconic shoes with modern sensibilities. Featuring single-wrap foxing, a padded tongue, and metal eyelets, the collaboration boasts the timeless look of the OG Style 36 with all the comfort of modern Vans footwear.

Vans and Carpet Company are collaborating on Old Skool 36+ sneakers. The announcement was made on Instagram on January 7, 2025, by Vans official account.

The new Vans x Carpet Co. Old Skool 36+ (and apparel) collaboration is available now at skate shops across the globe—just in time to kick the new year off with a bang! We’ve had our eyes on these since Vans and Carpet started teasing them a few weeks back, so we’re stoked to see them officially out in the wild. These are sick! Take a look:

Update: Last week, Carpet Company previewed its imminent collaborative model crafted with Vans, surfacing in the form of a new Old Skool silhouette dubbed the Vans Skate Old Skool 36+ by Carpet Company.
