LX Old Skool 36 Paint Splatter

This is the same iconic Old Skool you know: low top, vulcanised build, waffle sole, that side stripe you could clock from across the street. But this colourway hits different.

The charcoal grey base is moody enough to go with everything in your closet, and the paint splatter across the upper keeps it from ever being boring.

The distressed foxing tape detail is a nice touch too - we've always loved a shoe with that worn-in look straight out the box. Backed up by the Sola Foam ADC insole for all-day comfort, because looking good and your feet hurting is never the vibe.

We rate this one because the charcoal base does the heavy lifting - it's versatile enough to live in any rotation - but the paint splatter adds a lot of personality and attitude. That's a hard balance to get right and Vans nailed it on this one.
