Vans Old Skool 36 Paint Splatter 'Paint Splatter Charcoal Grey'

Description:

The Vans Premium Old Skool 36 Paint Splatter Charcoal Grey gives the iconic Old Skool a deliberately worn and artistic makeover based on the original 1977 Style 36 specifications. A dark Charcoal Grey foundation is paired with a contrasting cream sidestripe, while scattered white paint splatters cover the forefoot and midsole to create the appearance of a well-used creative studio floor. Small Deep Red paint accents add subtle bursts of color.

The upper receives a grease treatment across the canvas and suede panels, intentionally muting the materials and creating a weathered, vintage-inspired appearance. Details such as the smaller toe cap and double-stitched eyestay construction preserve the proportions associated with the original Style 36, giving the sneaker a more authentic archival feel.

As the darker and harder-to-find version of the Paint Splatter pack, the Charcoal Grey edition carries additional appeal for Vans collectors. Its distressed finish and artistic detailing continue the brand’s recent interest in imperfect, handcrafted-looking treatments while maintaining the unmistakable character of the Old Skool.

The Vans Premium Old Skool 36 Paint Splatter Charcoal Grey was released on June 11, 2026, with a retail price of $110.
