Vans has something with its precious gem motif. Through pearlized pairs, beaded collabs, and custom diamond-encrusted colorways handmade for SZA, the SoCal skate shoe brand has gone all in on the jewelry shop theme lately, and it's not letting up anytime soon. In a surprise pack that no one saw coming, Vans added to the collection this week with two new Old Skool 36 colorways covered in turquoise gemstones.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Gemstone Pack features two pairs of the classic skate shoe covered in blue-green jewels across the toe, heel, and tongue. This time around, the bejeweled Old Skools arrive in two otherwise monochrome colorways, one in a mix of chocolate brown leather and canvas, and the brighter pair in misty mauve pink leather and canvas.

Despite the polar opposite base colors, the gems and branding accents are added in the same colors, with turquoise gems and silver jewels alternating around the arch of the toe and the heel, as well as the top of the tongue. The side panel wave logo is shiny metallic silver on both pairs to match the white midsole and stitching.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Gemstone Pack was released today, March 5, 2026, through Vans and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $150. For all the latest Vans news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
