Vans Old Skool 36 LX Souvenir Black
The Vans Old Skool 36 LX Souvenir Black with style code VN000E8VEMV is a premium take on the skate shoe that started it all. The Old Skool debuted in 1977 as Style 36 and was the first Vans model to carry the now-iconic sidestripe. The 36 LX designation signals an elevated build with upgraded materials and a construction that stays close to the vintage original. In this Souvenir edition, the timeless Black and White colour scheme gets a lived-in, keepsake character, like a pair you brought home from a memorable trip. Released in July 2026 at a retail price of 125 euros, it is an easy upgrade over the standard Old Skool for anyone who values detail.
Colorway: Black/White
The Vans Old Skool 36 LX Souvenir Black sticks to the formula that made the silhouette a legend: a black upper combining sturdy canvas panels with suede overlays on the toe and heel, cut through by the white leather sidestripe along the midfoot. The premium LX treatment shows in the material quality and finishing, giving the classic look a richer feel than the everyday version. The white vulcanised sole unit with its signature waffle outsole delivers the boardfeel and grip Vans is known for, while the padded collar keeps the low-top comfortable. Black and white goes with virtually everything, from baggy denim and workwear to tailored trousers, which makes style code VN000E8VEMV one of the most dependable choices in any rotation.
How does the Vans Old Skool 36 LX Souvenir Black fit?
The Vans Old Skool 36 LX Souvenir Black fits true to size, as you would expect from Vans, so your regular size is the right pick for most feet. The canvas and suede upper feels structured at first but breaks in quickly, shaping itself to your foot within a few wears. The fit is snug through the midfoot with a flat, skate-style profile underfoot; the padded collar and footbed keep things comfortable during long days. If you have notably wide feet, going half a size up adds a little welcome room in the toe box.
