Vans - Vans x Metagirl Premium Old Skool 36 MGS, Man, Black, Size:

The Premium Old Skool 36 MGS reimagines skate heritage through the transformative lens of Italian designer and artist Caterina Mongillo, known as MetaGirl, a name rooted in the ancient Greek prefix “meta,” meaning beyond, signifying constant evolution and change. In collaboration with Vans, she reshapes the iconic Old Skool 36 into a study of radical femininity, where grit meets glamour and function gives way to fantasy. A black-on-black canvas upper with a snake skin toe box, heel counter, eyerow and strap is disrupted by a raw, frayed white Sidestripe, while a snakeskin strap slants deliberately across the vamp for a relaxed, slouched attitude, finished with rhinestone accents and a gemstone-encrusted gold buckle. The gold-studded toe bumper amplifies the tension between strength and softness, a signature of MetaGirl’s hyper-feminine, multidimensional aesthetic. Grounded in Vans’ vulcanized construction, signature waffle outsole, and upgraded comfort features, the silhouette remains true to its skate DNA while stepping boldly into transformation.
