The next-gen evolution adds two new looks.

The Vans OTW Old Skool 36 FM Marches On With New Fall Colorways

As we well know, Vans knows how to make an entrance. While it certainly didn’t hurt that they were announcing the start of their “Future Make” program, a series in which core models would be reinterpreted through a modern lens, the Old Skool 36 FM began with a bang. An intro during Milan Design Week tied its musical inspirations to an avant garde art installation designed by Willo Perron, paid off with a public release of the shoe just a few days later.

While notable for kicking off a new aesthetic within the halls at Vans, you certainly can’t discount the Old Skool 36 FM on it sown merits, either. Mixed materiality, a grroved sole unit, TPU SideStripe and double-layered tongue push the overall shape of the venerated Old Skool into a “next century” design aspect. For the silhouette’s next two colorways, it shifts away from the greyscale monochromatic side, first delivered in comprehensive off-white and black, and into a more lush direction.

First up is a heavy pine green treatment, making space for more grounded coloring with a black color and white lace option. Then to a “Drizzle” look that explores new color-blocking opportunities, treating the rubber toe and heel caps almost as an exterior shell, bolstering the light grey mesh that it wraps around. A navy blue mesh collar provides a contrasting pop of color in closing.

The Vans OTW Old Skool 36 FM in “Drizzle” and “Pine Forest” have already started populating global Vans sites, so a stateside drop likely isn’t far behind. A $125 retail price is expected. Catch official images included below and watch this page for direct pick-up links upon arrival.
