Vans is building momentum in 2026 with fresh collaborations and bold styling choices, and the Pearlized series is a strong example of that energy. The collection adds crystal and pearl embellishments to two of Vans' most iconic silhouettes, giving familiar favourites a luxury and slightly worn-in look.
The Old Skool 36 adopts two new colourways, Navy and Vintage Cocoa, both of which combine ornamentation with purposely aged details on the upper and midsole. The Classic Slip-On appears in Indigo Blue, Blackout, and Camo Black, blending leather and canvas construction with the same faux wear treatment and the Pearlized embellishments for a tactile contrast.
Both silhouettes offer a fresh take on heritage Vans styling by marrying skateboard-ready shapes with decorative accents. The Pearlized pieces are eye-catching without feeling overdone, making them a good option for fans who want statement footwear that still reads like Vans.
The Classic Slip-On and standard Old Skool 36 colourways arrive on March 19 and the Old Skool 36 in Vintage Cocoa will follow on April 21.
