Vans has started rolling out the Old Skool 36 Pearlized, and it's doing so in stages. Two colorways, Yacht Club and a Marshmallow restock, are available now, while four more are still lined up between now and December.
A Closer Look at the Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized
The silhouette traces back to the Style 36, Vans' second-ever skate shoe from 1977, later rebranded as the Old Skool in the early '90s. This Pearlized version keeps the high-gloss sidewall, fine stitching and signature Sidestripe, but finishes the upper with a deliberately worn-in look, then contrasts it with pearl and crystal embellishments, a combination that nudges the usually understated Old Skool toward premium territory.
Six colorways make up the full pack: Yacht Club, Marshmallow, Lime Pop, Navy, Black/Marshmallow and Red.
How about the Drop Date?
Yacht Club and the Marshmallow restock are both available today, 10 September 2026, priced at £115 through Vans.com, select Vans stores and stockists. Lime Pop follows on 12 November, Navy restocks 19 November, Black/Marshmallow arrives 27 November, and Red closes out the pack on 10 December.
