A black-and-white Old Skool sounds like the safest choice imaginable. But the Vans Old Skool 36 LX “Black White” (stylecode VN000CQDBA2) isn’t just the standard version — it’s the premium take on a silhouette that’s been showing up in every skate video and on every schoolyard for decades.
What makes the 36 LX different
At first glance, it’s just an Old Skool. Black base, white sidestripe, white sole. But the LX line is Vans’ refined take — finished with more care than the pair you see everywhere. The “36” refers to the original style number the Old Skool started out with. For those who know, that’s exactly the difference between owning an Old Skool and truly getting an Old Skool.
Black and white never goes out of style
Some colorways are seasonal. This one isn’t. Black and white is the most timeless combination in sneaker culture, and on the Old Skool, it’s simply the definitive version. It works with everything: baggy jeans, cargos, shorts in summer, and heavier trousers in winter. Skaters wear it into the ground, while streetwear fans keep it clean — both approaches work. That’s the strength of this silhouette: it belongs to everyone and no one at the same time. What will you pay for it? This is the lowest price right now: [sz_price_from stylecode=”VN000CQDBA2″].
Why now is a smart time to buy
LX releases aren’t available at every store around the corner. While the regular Old Skool is sold everywhere, you have to look a little harder for this version. That also makes it more interesting: you’re wearing something that looks familiar, but stands out immediately to those in the know. Low-key flexing, as we call it. And because stock varies from shop to shop, so do the prices — sometimes by a lot.
Check first, then buy
Before paying full price somewhere, take a moment to compare. The same size can be dozens of euros cheaper at one shop than another. Find the current best deal here: [sz_price_from stylecode=”VN000CQDBA2″].
