Vans is keeping the summer lit. As we head into the crisp cold of the fall, the summer’s hottest sneaker collection is still rolling, bringing more pearls and silver studs in canvas and suede to satisfy the bejeweled Old Skool’s sold-out demand. On the latest pair, Vans diverts attention from the string of pearls with a bright neon base.
Citrus Shine
The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Lime features soft black suede on the toecap, lace panel, heel bumper, and wavy stripe logo. On the side panels, the shoe switches to bright neon green that might look yellow if it weren’t for the citrus-indicating name. The lime shade switches to canvas for a classic Old Skool fabric mix, before you get to the jewelry, of course.
Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Lime
Just like the rest of the now-expansive Pearlized Pack, the colorway features an alternating arch of faux pearls and smaller silver studs lining the toecap, heel, top of the tongue, and logo stripe. A few spots of distressed canvas stitching are added on the side panels for a slightly-skated look.
Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack Lime Release Details
