Pearlized Vans are Vans’ faux-pearl-studded takes on its classics, and the March 2026 drop brought the treatment to the Classic Slip-On for the first time. The Old Skool 36 “Navy” ($130) and three Pearlized Slip-Ons ($110 each) released March 19, 2026, continuing a hot streak that started with a handful of special releases in 2025.
Vans is coming off of a big year in 2025, taking over sneaker conversations with some incredible special releases. The ball got rolling in May with a FDMTL collaboration, bringing sashiko stitching techniques to the Old Skool and Half-Cab. Later in Summer, they unleashed the “Souvenir” pack, which took inspiration from a 2015 Chanel bag. Those pairs skyrocketed in resale prices and sold out instantaneously at every release. In November, the Vans team dropped the “Pearlized” Old Skool pack, another special release from the Off the Wall team, which emphasized special details and craftsmanship.
Vans first showed this batch in February. It brought the Classic Slip-On into the series in three colorways, “Indigo Blue,” “Blackout” and “Camo Black,” each with faux pearls and gems across the toebox and arching over the heel. The Old Skool 36 returned in navy blue canvas with black and white accents, matching the “Indigo Blue” Slip-On, while the camo pair swaps canvas for a rip-stop camouflage upper. The Slip-Ons use crisp black leather to make up the collar panels.
