Vans announces the release of the Old Skool 36 Pearlized Yacht Club, an ode to endless exploration, inspired by sailing flags from around the world. Viewed through an Off The Wall lens, the latest expression blends nautical color blocking with the irreverent spirit of ‘90s sport style.
Expanding Vans’ embellishment narrative, the Old Skool 36 Pearlized features the recognized pearl and crystal detailing across a distressed upper, evoking a well-traveled shoe that has been reworked and customized over time.
Supporting the launch, Vans followed DJ Hank Korsan at Paris’ Fête de la Musique, capturing the Old Skool 36 Pearlized through a cultural moment that celebrates music, creativity, and self-expression.
The Old Skool 36 Pearlized retails for $130 USD. The Yacht Club colorway launches September 10, 2026, on Vans.com and at select Vans retail stores.
Additional colorways of the coveted silhouette will be released throughout the season on Vans.com and at select Vans retail stores. In the U.S., Lime Pop launches November 10, Black/Marshmallow on November 27, and Red on December 10. Restocks of Marshmallow and Navy arrive on October 8 and November 19.
