Vans × Bolin LX Old Skool 36 | Year of the Horse | Marshmallow Burgundy | VN000EJUHRW

The Year of the Horse. The Shoe of the Season.

The Vans × Bolin LX Old Skool 36 (VN000EJUHRW) in Marshmallow/Burgundy is a limited-edition Chinese Zodiac collaboration that brings together Vans’ most iconic silhouette and the cultural richness of the Year of the Horse. Built on the Old Skool 36 — a refined, premium-leather evolution of the original Old Skool that sits lower to the ground and closer to the foot — this collaboration pairs a warm marshmallow leather upper with a deep burgundy Sidestripe, burgundy midsole, and burgundy outsole that gives the shoe a rich, tonal depth from the ankle down. Horse-year motifs are subtly worked into the upper’s surface, making this a shoe that rewards close inspection and carries cultural meaning without announcing it loudly. Unisex sizing makes it accessible to all wearers; the limited-edition nature makes it essential for collectors.

Product Highlights

• 🎨 Colorway: Marshmallow Leather Upper × Burgundy Sidestripe × Burgundy Midsole & Outsole — warm, tonal, and richly detailed
• 🐎 Year of the Horse Limited Edition: A Chinese Zodiac collaboration celebrating the Year of the Horse — horse-year motifs subtly worked into the upper’s surface, with a teal collector’s hangtag marking the shoe’s limited-edition status. A wearable cultural artifact as much as a sneaker
• 🧴 Marshmallow Leather Upper: Premium marshmallow (warm off-white) leather upper with a fine, slightly distressed texture — a more refined and premium construction than the standard Old Skool canvas, delivering a softer hand feel and a more considered aesthetic that improves with wear as the leather develops its own character
• 🔴 Burgundy Sidestripe: The Old Skool’s signature Jazz Stripe in deep burgundy — the colorway’s defining detail, providing a rich, saturated contrast against the marshmallow leather base that references the warmth and energy of the Lunar New Year celebration
• 👞 Old Skool 36 Low-Profile Construction: Built on the Old Skool 36 last — a lower-profile, closer-to-the-ground evolution of the original Old Skool that delivers a more precise, board-feel fit. The 36 construction sits flatter and more minimal than the standard Old Skool, giving the shoe a cleaner, more refined silhouette
• 🟥 Burgundy Midsole & Outsole: Fully burgundy midsole and waffle rubber outsole — extending the colorway’s rich red-wine palette from the Sidestripe all the way to the ground, creating a tonal lower half that contrasts the marshmallow upper with maximum depth and warmth
• 🤝 Unisex Sizing: Available in unisex sizing — the Old Skool 36’s refined last fits both men and women, making this limited-edition collaboration accessible to all wearers regardless of gender
• 🏷️ Style Code: VN000EJUHRW

The Vans × Bolin Story

The Vans × Bolin LX collaboration brings together Vans’ California skate heritage and the cultural storytelling of the Chinese Zodiac calendar. The Old Skool 36 — first introduced as a premium, leather-forward evolution of the original 1977 Old Skool — provides the ideal canvas for a collaboration that values craft and detail over noise. The Year of the Horse edition in Marshmallow/Burgundy is among the most wearable and most collectible releases in the series, a shoe that carries its cultural significance lightly and its design quality heavily.
