Nautical flags, ’90s sportswear, and an unexpected pearl twist: with the Old Skool 36 Pearlized Yacht Club, Vans reimagines one of its most iconic silhouettes. Here, nautical color-blocking meets the unconventional spirit of the ’90s.
Pearl and crystal embellishments on a distressed-look upper give this classic a unique, custom feel—as if the shoe had already seen a fair bit of the world.
For the launch, Vans follows DJ Hank Korsan through the Fête de la Musique in Paris—immersed in a moment where music, creativity, and self-expression converge.
The silhouette looks back on nearly 50 years of Vans history: in 1977, the Style 36 was the first model to feature the now-iconic Sidestripe™. As part of the Vans Premium line, this reinterpretation combines that heritage with premium materials, modern comfort, and an optimized fit.
