Old Skool 36 x Parra

OTW by Vans reunites with longtime collaborator Parra to reimagine the iconic Old Skool 36 through his distinctive artistic lens. Parra’s relationship with Vans dates back to the early ’90s, when he skated as a sponsored rider - long before his bold, surreal visual language earned global recognition across galleries and museums. Now, that shared history comes full circle with the OTW by Vans x Parra Old Skool 36.

The classic silhouette is refreshed with layered premium materials, combining soft suede uppers with Parra’s signature wavy colorblocking and asymmetric detailing for a refined yet playful expression. Custom typography appears across the tongue labels and mismatched footbeds, finished with the reminder: “Don’t forget to skate in these.” Underfoot, Sola Foam ADC insoles deliver comfort, while the vulcanized construction and Vans’ signature waffle outsole ensure reliable grip and boardfeel. Matte foxing and custom heel scabs complete the design - a seamless meeting point of art, skate heritage, and timeless Vans DNA.
