Tapping into our history, 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.” Honoring the style that launched an icon, the Double Light Style 36 is made with sturdy suede uppers featuring pops of bright color. This low top, lace-up shoe also includes re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, gum colored soles and our signature rubber waffle outsoles.
