Style 36 was Vans’ first Sidestripe shoe brought to life in 1977. Though the Vans Sidestripe has since become the unmistakable—and instantly recognizable—hallmark of the Vans brand, back then it was just a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren. It even had a different name: the “jazz stripe.” To honor the style that launched an icon, the Style 36 has been re-released with classic canvas and suede uppers paired with gum-colored sidewalls for a vintage touch.
