The Parra x Vans Old Skool 36 marks a thoughtful crossover between modern skate design and contemporary art culture.
Piet Parra’s visual language reshapes the classic Vans silhouette with flowing color panels and soft suede construction. As a Parra Vans collaboration, it feels expressive without losing the Old Skool’s grounded identity. The Vans OTW Parra sneaker also reflects how skate footwear continues to embrace artist-driven storytelling.
Details elevate the Parra Old Skool 36 from standard editions. Asymmetric panels, custom typography, and playful footbed graphics add character. One insole reads, “Don’t forget to skate in these,” grounding the design in function. The sneaker uses Sola Foam ADC insoles, vulcanized tooling, and the waffle outsole. Matte foxing and custom heel scabs signal its premium OTW status.
The Parra x Vans Old Skool 36 releases January 22, 2026, via Vans.com and select retailers.
