Vans is bringing it back to the basics, but the California-based skate shoe originators aren’t done with the pearls and jewels quite yet. Instead, the Vans team is splitting the difference, with a new-school look on an old-school colorway of the Old Skool silhouette.
The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack White is a blank canvas straight from the jewelry store, combining white suede and canvas across the upper with arching lines of alternating silver studs and white faux pearls. Like the rest of the Pearlized Pack, the white pair adds some pre-distressed weathering to the upper, midsole, and laces.

Featuring white suede on the toe, lace panel, and heel, the rest of the upper is covered in classic white canvas. The string of pearls and studs curve around the front of the toebox and the stitching on the heel, plus the top of the tongue and the wavy side panel logo.
The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack White will be released October 8, 2026, through Vans and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For real-time updates on the latest Vans news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
