Black suede Vans Premium LX Old Skool Leopard delivering a subtle animal-print twist on the 1977 Style 36 through leopard-inspired detailing and a glossy higher sidewall.

Design & Inspiration

Black suede and canvas upper forms the base of the shoe, giving it a rich, grounded look. Brown leopard-inspired detailing runs across the upper, adding a textured animal print without overwhelming the classic low-top shape. The signature Sidestripe keeps the silhouette anchored to Vans' skate heritage. A higher, gloss-finished sidewall adds a refined touch to the familiar Old Skool profile. Originally created as Vans' second skate shoe, the Style 36 debuted in 1977, and this LX version brings the leopard theme into its premium lineup while keeping the design recognisable.
