The Gemstone pack represents a shift toward more fashion-forward materials while preserving the brand's classic aesthetic. The Style 36 silhouette maintains its heritage proportions while upgrading the traditional design with leather-and-canvas layering and gem embellishments.

Arriving in two colorways, Mushroom and Mist, the shoe is embellished with a metallic leather side stripe and comes with two sets of laces in leather and textile. The Gemstone Old Skool 36 takes a skate staple and gives it a more premium look.
