The new Vans x Carpet Co. Old Skool 36+ (and apparel) collaboration is available now at skate shops across the globe—just in time to kick the new year off with a bang! We’ve had our eyes on these since Vans and Carpet started teasing them a few weeks back, so we’re stoked to see them officially out in the wild. These are sick! Take a look:
Say what you want, but Carpet Co. is one of those brands that just can’t miss. They’re super unique, always original and although they might be an acquired taste for some, their attention to detail on everything they produce is impressive.
This is their second collab with Vans, at least to my knowledge. Tap the post below and check out the limited 'Cab 4' they reimagined last year. Everything from the shoes themselves to the accompanying apparel to the video they produced to promote it all was top shelf stuff—nailed it! Just like these newly reimagined Old Skools!
A historic brand like Vans has such a deep archive of gems, it was probably so fun digging through it while finding inspiration for this collab. Again, the strong attention to detail really brings this collection to life. Gotta have a story to tell, you know?
I will say this—the shoes and apparel are super limited and aren’t expected to last. Hit the Carpet site to secure a pair. Or, better yet, cross your fingers and see if your local shop was one of the lucky ones carrying these kicks.
Shoutout to Vans and Carpet on another successful collab. Nostalgia for the win once again!
