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.
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.

Featuring blue suede on the toecap and lace panel, the tongue switches to red canvas, the side panels bring in grassy green canvas, and the heel tab reverts back to suede in yellow. The midsole is a mix of dirty white with a black foxing stripe to offset the shiny mix of studs and pearls across the side panel logo, top of the tongue, and toebox.
The Vans Old Skool 36 Yacht Club will be released September 10, 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 releases and more in the sneaker world, download the Sole Retriever App.
