The Vans team has been in its bag lately. Mixing classic silhouettes and colorways with a new residency at the jewelry and bead store, the SoCal skate brand has been expanding the Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack as far as it can, and now it’s finally bringing the collection back to basics.
Simple Luxury
The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Black keeps the base of the shoe as simple as possible before adding the same arching lines of pearls and silver studs as the rest of the Pearlized Old Skool pack. In addition to the black pair, a simple white colorway, a navy blue pair, and a bright multi-color Yacht Club mix join the OG colorways, revised with a set of pearls.
