Vans has a handful of iconic colorways in the archive. Starting with the checkerboard print on the Authentic, the black and white Sk8-Hi, the red and blue Era, honestly, the list goes on. Close to the top, though, is the navy blue and black Old Skool. As Vans dips further into the jewel-encrusted motif that’s brought hype back to the SoCal staple, the longtime skate favorite is getting its own accessorized upgrade.
The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack Navy is the latest addition to the faux pearl-embellished Old Skool collection, following white and pink pairs from last year, and white and black pairs that kicked off the pack in 2024. This time around, the classic navy canvas base with black suede on the toe, heel, and lace panels is up for the jewelry shop makeover.
The colorway keeps things classic on the base and then adds two sizes of pearls set in silver arching across the toe, heel, and top of the tongue, with more jewels added to the wavy stripe logo moving across the side panels. The white midsole with a black foxing stripe is weathered from the start to add some distressed wear to the pair.
The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack Navy will be released March 19, 2026 through Vans and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest Vans news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
