Piet Parra continues to blur the line between art and footwear with his latest Vans collaboration, delivering an unexpected twist on the Old Skool 36. Following the wider OTW release, a new alternate version quietly surfaced, showcasing his signature wavy style but shifting into a cooler, more restrained color direction.
Rather than building hype, this drop arrived with little warning. The release also marks a milestone for London’s Slam City Skates, which recently became an official By Parra retailer. To celebrate, the shop received an exclusive third version of the silhouette, making it one of the more limited Parra x Vans releases in recent memory.
This edition leans into simplicity. The upper is fully wrapped in pink suede, paired with a black vulcanized sole for contrast. Subtle red accents land on the collar and branding details, while co-branded elements on the tongue keep the collaboration identity intact without overpowering the design.
According to Slam City Skates, the shoe launched first online in limited quantities, with an in-store release scheduled for March 11th. At the time of writing, only a small number of sizes remain available, reinforcing the drop’s exclusive nature and low-key rollout.
