Are you tired of the pearls yet? Because Vans isn’t.
After a summer full of bejeweled, luxurious, decorative Vans classic colorways, the SoCal brand rooted in skateboarding has refreshed its reputation at sneaker boutiques, drawing long lines, immediate sell-outs, and high resale prices for Authentics, Old Skools, and more. While some have started complaining about too much of a good thing, Vans has shown no signs of slowing down, bringing more pearl pairs to the catalog at every turn.
Pearls on a Yacht
The Vans Old Skool 36 Yacht Club is the latest classic Vans pair with a jewelry store update, adding silver studs and white pearls to a multi-color combo of Crayola colors across the suede and canvas upper. The Yacht Club color mix has been a staple in the Vans line for years now, and with the way things have been going, the pearl addition was inevitable.
