Vans reinterprets two of its most iconic models, launching the Pearlized Pack with fresh versions of the Classic Slip-On and Old Skool 36. Pearl and crystal embellishments meet distressed materials, embracing the DIY aesthetic that has defined Vans for decades. The designs have a deliberately individual feel—as if the shoes have accumulated their own history over the years.
The Classic Slip-On (Style 98) was originally introduced in Southern California in 1979 as a skate shoe and quickly became a staple of youth and subculture. The Style 36, later known as Old Skool, appeared as early as 1977 and was the first Vans model to feature the now-iconic Sidestripe™. Both silhouettes remain among the brand’s most defining classics.
